32-bit AURIX™ TriCore™ Microcontroller

AURIX™ TriCore™ unites the elements of a RISC processor core, a microcontroller and a DSP in one single MCU. TriCore™-based products  target a large variety of automotive application. These include the control of combustion engines,  electrical and hybrid vehicles, transmission control units , chassis domains, braking systems, electric power steering systems, airbags, connectivity and advanced driver assistance systems to support the trend toward autonomous, clean and connected cars.  The AURIX™ family delivers also the versatility required for the industrial sector, excelling in optimized motor control applications and signal processing. 

Infineon’s broad product portfolio allows engineers to choose from a wide range of memories, peripheral sets, frequencies, temperatures and packaging options and all this with a high degree of compatibility across generations.

32-bit TRAVEO™ T2G Arm® Cortex® Microcontroller

The Infineon TRAVEO™ T2G microcontrollers are based on the Arm® Cortex®-M4(Single core)/M7(Single core/Dual core) core and deliver high performance, enhanced human-machine interfaces, high-security and advanced networking protocols tailored for a broad range of automotive applications such as electrification, body control modules, gateway, and infotainment applications.

Based on the powerful Arm® Cortex® M series core in single and dual core operation it offers state-of-the-art real time performance, safety and security features. Infineon TRAVEO™ T2G MCUs are used in motor control for hybrid and electric vehicles (HEV/EV), body electronics.

Infineon TRAVEO™ T2G family builds upon the successful TRAVEO™ T1G families.

The family supports the latest in-car networks, offers high performance function optimized for a minimum memory footprint and embeds dedicated features to increase data security in the car.

32-bit PSoC™ Arm® Cortex® Microcontroller

PSoC™ Microcontrollers are the world’s only programmable embedded System-on-Chip solutions based on the ARM® Cortex®-M processor, high-performance programmable analog blocks, PLD-based programmable digital blocks, programmable interconnect and routing, and CapSense™.

Rapidly Prototype: Use PSoC’s flexible design software, to create custom chips in minutes, rather than hours. Create the mix of peripherals you want on your chip, select whichever pin you want, and you’re done.

No Blue Wires: Accommodate last-minute feature changes and eliminate hardware bugs by re-configuring PSoC programmable hardware blocks using PSoC Components to eliminate delays caused by PCB spins.

Interface to New Sensors: Design custom analog front ends (AFEs) using PSoC Components and programmable analog blocks to add new features to your product without increasing PCB size and BOM cost.

Infineon’s PSoC™ software delivers easy-to-use tools to get your ideas to market quickly and easily. ModusToolbox comprises Infineon’s latest development tools including an IDE. PSoC Creator delivers a game-changing schematic entry design methodology and IDE.
