Three new 16-bit microcontrollers for automotive and industrial applications as well as a new 32-bit microcontroller from Infineon's TriCore family for cost-sensitive industrial applications, have been released. The 32-bit TC1100 microcontroller is suited for robotics and industrial networking applications as well as industrial high-performance electrical motor drives where it is responsible for processing and communication, while the new members of the 16-bit XC16x family offer increased embedded Flash memory capacity of 256 Kbytes, says Infineon.
They are designed for use in safety-critical automotive applications like x-by-wire, where electronics replace mechanical components. They are also well-suited wherever complex software is in demand of large memory capacities - being especially the case in the field of electronic power steering.
Due to their peripheral set, the XC16x microcontrollers also address other automotive and industrial applications, such as dashboard or electric motor control. Infineon is one of the few semiconductor manufacturers to provide microcontrollers that fulfil automotive as well as industrial quality requirements. It thus enables new applications such as hybrid cars which now can use the peripherals of the industrial and automotive world necessary for electric motors.
