Infineon Technologies unveiled a new microcontroller family for automotive body and gateway applications. The new Infineon XC2200 family of microcontrollers (MCU) fulfills key requirements for present and future body and gateway applications with their need for flexibility.
According to the company the new XC2200 family includes more than 60 products. This product portfolio offers body/gateway application design engineers the desired scalability to select the MCU with the optimal combination of memory, peripheral set, temperature and packaging to match the application’s respective requirements, both during and after their design cycle without any changes to the printed circuit board design.
Dr. Christopher Hegarty, vice president and general manager of microcontrollers business unit at Infineon Technologies, said, “There is a clear trend in body applications towards AUTOSAR compliancy and flexibility to serve the different body architectures with one MCU family. Providing a flexible family with 32-bit performance is key for Infineon. Our new body/gateway XC2200 family addresses the need for plug-and-play exchangeability through devices with compatible software and pins. The coherent family concept provides a scalability in memory, peripherals, functionality, performance, temperature range and packaging.”
Infineon introduces the first five members of the XC2200 family: the XC2264, XC2267, XC2285, XC2286 and XC2287. A total of 60 derivatives are available with variations of the five members in the flash memory size (448 kBytes, 576 kBytes and 768 kBytes), operating frequency (66 MHz / 80 MHz), peripheral set (for low-end door modules / complex high-end BCM or gateway modules), automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), and green (lead-free) Low-Quad Flat Pack (LQFP) package options (LQFP-100 / -144). Further versions with a flash memory size of 32 kBytes to 1,280 kBytes, operating also at 40 MHz frequency and additional LQFP-packages with 64 and 176 pins will be introduced later in 2007.
