AI and neural networks are transforming the automotive industry by reducing costs, driving innovation, and improving performance. Infineon’s AURIX™ TC4x integrates AI with microcontrollers, enabling real-time applications like autonomous driving and eMobility. Its architecture combines a TriCore CPU cluster and a SIMD-based PPU for efficient AI tasks like linear algebra and signal processing. Infineon, with Fraunhofer IKS, developed SAFE AI processes compliant with ISO 26262, 8800, and 21448.

Applications with Embedded AI:

  • Advanced Driver Assistance Systems: Domain/zone control, intrusion detection, and predictive modeling.
  • Traction Inverter: AI-driven motor control enhances energy efficiency and extends driving range. Virtual sensors monitor SiC/GaN power modules.
  • On-board Charger: Adaptive control improves power distribution; virtual sensors optimize cooling.
  • Battery Management Systems: AI enables accurate battery state prediction, extending range and speeding up charging.
  • Infineon’s DEEPCRAFT™ Edge AI software, paired with AURIX™ Development Studio, speeds up AI model creation with pre-trained models, improved data collection, and seamless hardware deployment.

Infineon's PSOC™ Automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance human-machine interfaces, smart sensing, and general-purpose applications in vehicles. PSOC™ Automotive 4 integrates capacitive sensing technology for Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications enhancing user experience by facilitating gestures over non-uniform surfaces or compensating for surface gradients.

Applications of AI on PSOC™ Automotive:

• Sensors for liquid-level sensing, distinguishes between liquid and foam and is insensitive to the size and shape of the liquid container. AI reduces tuning time from weeks to hours for liquid-level sensing.

• Trackpads and touchscreens, support unusual shapes, sizes, and requirements. With AI, algorithm development is reduced to weeks after collecting training data, whereas the traditional approach takes months.

Development flow supported by AI:

The flow is designed to take your project from data collection to the creation of interfaces. Infineon’s End to End Machine Learning Solution with DEEPCRAFT™  & Modus Toolbox ML are under development. The DEEPCRAFT™  makes it easy for you to use machine learning in your edge devices.
