Infineon Technologies and Green Hills Software have unveiled an advanced microcontroller-based processing platform tailored for safety-critical real-time automotive systems. This innovative platform integrates the µ-velOSity safety-certified real-time operating system (RTOS) from Green Hills with the cutting-edge Infineon Aurix TC4x safety microcontrollers. This collaboration will be showcased at the prestigious Embedded World exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany.
The Aurix TC4x family represents a significant leap forward, offering an enhanced migration path from its predecessor, the TC3x family of ASIL-compliant automotive MCUs.
Leveraging the next-generation TriCore 1.8 and a versatile accelerator suite, which includes the groundbreaking Parallel Processing Unit (PPU) alongside intelligent accelerators for tasks like data routing, digital signal processing, radar processing, and cryptographic computing, the TC4x family is poised to meet the demanding requirements of modern automotive systems.
A complete list of features for the Aurix TC4x lineup is available through the Infineon website.
