New high-performance microcontroller: Infineon launches AURIX™ TC4Dx

Infineon Technologies announced the launch of the AURIX™ TC4Dx microcontroller (MCU), the first member of the latest AURIX TC4x family. Based on 28nm technology, the AURIX TC4Dx offers increased performance and high-speed connectivity. It combines power and performance enhancements with the latest trends in virtualization, Artificial Intelligence, functional safety, cybersecurity, and networking functions paving the way for new Electric/Electronical (E/E) architectures as well as the next generation of software-defined vehicles. MCUs like the AURIX TC4Dx are crucial to control and monitor a wide variety of systems in the automobile such as vehicle motion control, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and chassis.

The AURIX TC4Dx features an advanced multi-core architecture with the new 500MHz TriCore™ with six cores, all with lock-steps for highest functional safety performance. With its Parallel Processing Unit (PPU), the MCU provides an innovative platform for developing embedded AI-based use cases such as motor control, battery management systems or vehicle motion control. 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 (more info).
