“MCUs like Infineon’s new AURIX™ TC4Dx are the backbone of the software-defined car and are key to further improving vehicle performance, safety and comfort,” said Thomas Boehm, Senior Vice President Microcontrollers at Infineon Technologies . “AURIX™ TC4Dx will further ensure processing performance and efficiency and help customers accelerate time to market and reduce total system costs.”

AURIX™ TC4Dx features an advanced multi-core architecture with a new 500MHz TriCore™ hexa-core processor, all cores with lockstep capabilities for higher functional safety performance. With the Parallel Processing Unit (PPU), the MCU provides an innovative platform for developing AI-based embedded use cases such as motor control, battery management systems or vehicle motion control. The MCU is supported by a strong software ecosystem, including network accelerators for enhanced Ethernet and CAN communications, as well as the latest interfaces such as 5 Gbit/s Ethernet, PCIe, 10Base-T1S and CAN-XL. This increase in network throughput and connection speed provides customers with the performance and flexibility they need to implement E/E architectures. The overall functional safety of AURIX™ TC4Dx meets the highest functional safety requirements of ISO26262 ASIL-D. The MCU also complies with the latest ISO/SAE21434 cybersecurity standards, including support for post-quantum encryption technology.
