About

Major disrupters have emerged in the automotive market:

  • Innovation in automotive E/E architecture MCUs in the areas of domain and zone control
  • Accelerated shift from conventional powertrain to xEV
  • Increased safety and automated driving

Infineon’s AURIX™ TC4x family addresses these challenges, pushing the boundaries in automotive MCU usage for safe and secured processing. These microcontrollers are designed for next-generation eMobility, ADAS, automotive E/E architectures, and affordable artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

The new scalable microcontroller TC4x family provides an upward migration path from Infineon’s leading AURIX™ TC3x family of ASIL-compliant automotive MCUs. Performance is boosted by the next-generation TriCore™ 1.8 and the scalable AURIX™ accelerator suite, including the new Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) and multiple smart accelerators.

Support for high-speed communication interfaces such as 5G-bit 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 automotive-specific microcontrollers with E/E architectures.

The scalable family concept enables a common software architecture supporting significant platform software savings and the feature-rich concept gives plenty of headroom to grow for both Tier 1s and OEMs.

Powering and Safeguarding AURIX™ TC4x: the TLF4x OPTIREG™ PMIC

Scalable to the entire AURIX™ TC4x portfolio, expanding across multiple applications, the TLF4x OPTIREG™ PMIC, next generation of functional safety power supplies will enable a seamless power supply design for the entire TC4x product portfolio.

The AURIX™ TC4x platform, powered by TriCore™ and the AURIX™ Accelerator Suite, delivers high-performance, cost-effective AI and audio solutions for next-generation automotive applications.

Key features include:

Processing:

  • Up to 6 TriCore™ v1.8 cores at 500 MHz in lockstep for robust real-time control and AI workloads.

Accelerators:

  • PPU for AI up to ASIL-D, enabling advanced ADAS and autonomous driving.
  • DRE for efficient communication and data handling.
  • SPU for radar signal processing.
  • CSRM/CSS for hardware-based cybersecurity, compliant with ISO 21434.

Memory:

  • Memory: 24 MB on-chip NVM with SOTA support.

Timers & ADCs: 

  • eGTM timers, high-res PWM, and low-latency interconnect

Connectivity:

  • 5 Gbps Eth PCIe, 10BASE T1S Eth, and CAN-XL for broad E/E architecture support.

Audio:

  • 8-to-1 PCM mixing (8-192 Kbps), PLL for audio clocks, and TSN synchronization, I2S/TDM 
  • Supports acoustic sensing, AVAS, in-cabin noise canceling, and advanced infotainment features like audio zones and telematics.

Ideal for modern automotive E/E architectures, the AURIX™ TC4x combines AI, safety, security, and advanced audio capabilities to meet the demands of next-gen vehicles.

  • Infineon MCAL drivers
  • Re-use of existing AURIX™ TC3xx algorithms and ecosystem possible
  • Rapid prototyping support from Virtual Prototyping using Synopsys - Virtualizer Development Kit for AURIX™ TC4x
  • Software Development Kit (SDK)
  • Simplify PPU software development using the Synopsys - MetaWare toolkit for AURIX™ which includes MATLAB Simulink blocks, DSP and math libraries, Neural Network Software Development Kit, and AUTOSAR Complex Device Drivers
  • Hardware Support Package (HSP) based on MathWorks Simulink® enables model based SW-development
