Infineon SAK-TC375TP-96F300W: A High-Performance 32-Bit TriCore Microcontroller for Automotive and Industrial Applications
The relentless drive towards greater automation, electrification, and connectivity in the automotive and industrial sectors demands microcontrollers (MCUs) that deliver uncompromising performance, reliability, and safety. The Infineon SAK-TC375TP-96F300W stands out as a premier solution engineered to meet these rigorous demands. As part of Infineon's renowned AURIX™ TC3xx family, this 32-bit microcontroller is built around the high-performance TriCore™ CPU architecture, which uniquely combines the real-time capability of a microcontroller, the computational power of a digital signal processor (DSP), and the high-performance features of a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processor into a single, cohesive core.
At the heart of the SAK-TC375TP-96F300W are three independent TriCore™ CPUs, or cores, capable of running at speeds up to 300 MHz. This multi-core architecture is not just about raw processing power; it is fundamentally designed for functional safety. The cores can operate in lockstep mode, where one core shadows the other to instantly detect discrepancies and errors, a critical requirement for applications like electric power steering, advanced braking systems, and automotive gateways that must comply with the stringent ISO 26262 ASIL-D standard.
Beyond its processing prowess, this MCU is equipped with a rich set of peripherals tailored for complex control tasks. It features advanced PWM timers for precise motor control, high-speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) for accurate sensor data acquisition, and multiple communication interfaces including CAN-FD (Flexible Data-Rate), LIN, and Ethernet, ensuring seamless connectivity within a broader network. For data integrity and security, it also incorporates hardware security modules (HSM) to protect against cyber threats.
The 96F300W variant, in its BGA-292 package, offers a significant 4MB of embedded Flash memory and 472KB of RAM, providing ample space for sophisticated application code and data handling. Its operational temperature range and robust construction make it equally suited for the harsh environments under an automotive hood or on a factory floor, controlling industrial drives, robotics, and renewable energy systems.
In summary, the Infineon SAK-TC375TP-96F300W is a powerhouse of integration, performance, and safety, empowering designers to create the next generation of intelligent and secure automotive and industrial systems.
