Infineon launches first Aurix TC4x chip
Infineon Technologies has launched the first member of the Aurix TC4x automotive microcontroller family with a new controller core and up to 25Mbits of flash.
The multi-core Aurix TC4Dx is built on 28nm process technology at TSMC to boost performance and connectivity with power enhancements.
The TC4Dx is based on a new 500MHz TriCore design, with all six cores with lock-step capability for functional safety performance. A Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) supports embedded AI for motor control, battery management systems or vehicle motion control.
Infineon extends Rust support for Aurix microcontrollers
The MCU is supported by a strong software ecosystem and includes networking accelerators to boost Ethernet and CAN communication, as well as the latest interfaces such as 5 Gbit/s Ethernet, PCIe, 10Base-T1S and CAN-XL for next generation electrical and electronic (E/E) architectures. This uses the Data Routing Engine (DRE) core for efficient communication and data handling.
The TC4Dx also meets the latest cyber security standards such as ISO/SAE21434 including post-quantum cryptography support.
“Microcontrollers like our new Aruix TC4Dx are the backbone of software-defined vehicles. They are essential to further improve vehicle performance, safety and comfort.” said Thomas Boehm, Senior Vice President for Microcontrollers at Infineon. “The AURIX TC4Dx will contribute to secured processing performance and efficiency, and our customers will benefit from faster time-to-market and lower total system cost.”
The TC4Dx is currently sampling and will go in mass production in 2025.
