Infineon Technologies announced the availability of new microcontroller (MCU) products. The new Flash MCUs, including 8-bit, advanced 16-bit and high-end 32-bit TriCore family of devices, are optimized for use in industrial applications.
The new XC886 and XC888 MCUs enhance the XC800 family of 8-bit microcontrollers by providing advanced networking capabilities, based on integration of both a full CAN controller and LIN support on a single chip. The on-chip CAN module offloads the CPU handling most of the networking functions.
Peter Bauer, member of the board and head of the automotive, industrial and multimarket business group of Infineon, said, "With respect to microcontrollers dedicated to industrial applications, Infineon brings more than 35 years of automotive experience into play. Our industrial customers will benefit from our high levels of product quality and our broad system expertise combined with in-depth application competence. It is our goal to offer an innovative product portfolio covering the complete control cycle comprising microcontroller, sensors and power semiconductors that match the market requirements of industrial applications."
