Infineon Technologies AG has announced sample availability of the first two members in the new TC116x series of 32-bit microcontrollers based on its TriCore architecture.
In addition to a 66MHz CPU, the new TC1161 and TC1162 microcontrollers integrate 1Mbyte of embedded Flash memory and a comprehensive set of peripherals in a low-cost package. The company's highly integrated microcontrollers can reduce system level costs by up to 40%.
The microcontrollers address industrial applications such as high-performance AC and DC drives or servo-drives for the precise control of electric motors in machines and manufacturing processes, generic industrial control such as factory automation equipment and robotics.
There is a high growth potential for electronic motor drives as worldwide still more than 80% (according to iSuppli's Power Management Report, December 2004) of today¡¦s small motors run without electronic control. The new TC116x microcontrollers is said to enable the development of highly efficient motor drives with reduced power consumption.
The new microcontrollers operate at a 1.5V core supply voltage (3.3V I/O) and are available in a low-cost PG-LQFP-176 package for the industrial temperature range from -40 to +85°C. The new 32-bit microcontrollers have on-chip debugging support for fast development and verification. Software development and debugging tools as well as real time operating systems are available from embedded system vendors.
Infineon plans to continuously expand the TC116x product family, introducing 4 further products in the first half of 2006. The additional members will offer extended memory capacity, higher CPU clock and new peripherals.
