AURIX™ TriCore™ 32-bit Microcontroller with Unified RISC Core

Infineon Technologies AURIX TriCore unified, single-core, 32-bit microcontroller DSP architecture is optimized for real-time embedded systems. TriCore™ Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) combines the real-time capability of a microcontroller, the computational power of a DSP, and the high performance and price features of a RISC load or store architecture in a compact, reprogrammable core.

The AURIX TC2xx multi-core family provides robust performance, functional safety support, and a future-proof security solution in a highly scalable lineup. The AURIX TC3xx family is manufactured in 40 nm embedded Flash technology and is designed for ultimate reliability in harsh automotive environments. With its up to hexa-core high-performance architecture and advanced features for connectivity, security, and functional safety, the TC3xx is ideally suited for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications. An extensive ecosystem is available including AUTOSAR libraries and safety software to help manufacturers meet SIL/ASIL safety standards.

Development kits

Low-cost AURIX development boards are designed to facilitate the development and testing of applications that require high levels of performance, safety, and security. The Arduino-compatible TC375 Lite kit (KITA2GTC375LITETOBO1) and TC275 Lite kit (KITAURIXTC275LITETOBO1) are equipped with a TC375 MCU or TC275 MCU, respectively, a TLE9251VSJ CAN transceiver, and 10 Mbps/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY. The Arduino UNO R3-compatible ShieldBuddy TC375 platform (KITA2GTC375ARDSBTOBO1) is fitted with the TC375 MCU on a board following the Arduino standard, making it compatible with many of the application shields that are available. Each kit is supported by a range of development tools, including the free-of-charge Eclipse-based IDE AURIX Development Studio from Infineon or the Eclipse-based free TriCore Entry Toolchain from Hightec/PLS/Infineon.
