Major disrupters have emerged in the automotive market:

Infineon’s AURIX™ TC4x family addresses these challenges, pushing the boundaries in automotive MCU usage for safe and secure processing. These microcontrollers are designed for next generation eMobility, ADAS, automotive E/E architectures and affordable artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The first AURIX TC4x samples have already been chosen by lead customers for their upcoming designs.

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 PPU (Parallel Processing Unit) and multiple smart accelerators.

Support for high-speed communication interfaces like 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 1’s and OEMs.
