32-bit TriCore™ AURIX™– TC4x
The AURIX™ TC4x family - real-time safety and security performance leader is coming!
Major disrupters have emerged in the automotive market.
- Innovation in E/E architecture in the areas of domain & zone control
- Accelerated shift from conventional powertrain to xEV
- Increased safety and automated driving
AURIX™ TC4x family addresses these challenges pushing the boundaries in automotive MCU usage for safe and secure processing
The first samples of the new AURIX™ TC4x family of microcontrollers (MCUs) for next-generation eMobility, ADAS, automotive E/E architectures and affordable artificial intelligence (AI) applications are now at lead customers.
The new scalable family provides an upward migration path from Infineon’s leading AURIX™ TC3x family of MCUs. Performance is boosted by the next-generation TriCore™ 1.8 and the scalable AURIX™ accelerator suite, including the new PPU (Parallel Processing Unit) and multiple smart accelerators.
Support for high-speed communication interfaces like 5 Gbit Ethernet and PCIe along with new interfaces such as CAN-XL and 10BASE T1S Ethernet gives customers the performance, throughput and flexibility needed to implement new E/E architectures.
The scalable family concept enables a common software architecture enabling significant platform software savings and the feature-rich concept gives plenty of headroom to grow for both Tier 1’s and OEMs
