AURIX™ microcontrollers offer all this, in addition to a high degree of compatibility across generations, to ensure you always find the right solution to meet your requirements.

Explore more about our industry-leading TriCore™ architecture.

TriCore™ architecture overview and key features

TriCore™ is the first unified, multi-core, 32-bit microcontroller DSP architecture optimized for real-time embedded systems. TriCore™ Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) combines the real-time capability of a microcontroller, computational power of a DSP, and high performance/price features of a RISC load or store architecture in a compact re-programmable core.

The architecture supports both 16-bit and 32-bit instruction formats.

Key features of TriCore™ ISA:

4 GB of address space
16-/32-bit instructions for reduced code size
Branch instructions (using branch prediction)
Low interrupt latency with fast automatic context switch using wide pathway to on-chip memory
Zero overhead loop capabilities
Dual, single-clock-cycle, 16x 16-bit multiply-accumulate unit (with optional saturation)
Optional Floating-Point Unit (FPU) and Memory Management Unit (MMU)
Extensive bit-handling capabilities
Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) packed data operations (2x 16-bit or 4x 8-bit operands)
Flexible interrupt prioritization scheme
Byte and bit addressing
Memory protection and debug support

TriCore™ generations

In 1999, Infineon launched the first generation of the Automotive unified processor (AUDO) family. These 32-bit TriCore™ microcontrollers are based on a unified and powerful RISC + MCU + DSP processor core, Infineon has since evolved this concept, reaching the 6th generation of the TriCore™ architecture.

TriCore™ architecture, known for its high real-time performance and embedded safety and security features, is ideal for various automotive applications. AURIX™ TC2xx combines functional safety, supports strong performance in a scalable product family.

AURIX™ TC3xx, built on 40 nm embedded flash technology, is designed for ultimate reliability in harsh automotive environments. The dual frontend concept ensures continuous supply, supported by an extensive ecosystem that includes AUTOSAR libraries and safety software to help customers meet ASIL safety standards.

AURIX™ TC4x, the next evolution in performance, is manufactured in 28 nm technology. Like its predecessors, it features a dual frontend concept for continuous global supply. An extensive ecosystem, including AUTOSAR libraries and safety software, is available to help manufacturers meet the highest ASIL safety standards.
