TC367DP64F300SAAKXUMA1: A High-Performance 32-Bit Microcontroller for Advanced Automotive Applications

The relentless evolution of automotive technology, driven by the trends of electrification, connectivity, and autonomous driving, demands a new class of electronic control units (ECUs) with unprecedented computational power, reliability, and integration. At the heart of these advanced systems lies the microcontroller (MCU), a component whose capabilities can define the performance and safety of the entire vehicle. The Infineon AURIX™ TC367DP64F300SAAKXUMA1 stands as a premier example of a microcontroller engineered to meet these rigorous demands, offering a robust architecture tailored for the most critical automotive applications.

This 32-bit MCU is built upon the high-performance TriCore™ processor architecture, which uniquely combines the real-time capabilities of a microcontroller, the computational power of a digital signal processor (DSP), and the high-level functionality of a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) processor into a single, cohesive core. The TC367 model features three independent TriCore™ CPUs, capable of running at speeds up to 300 MHz. This multi-core design is not just about raw speed; it is fundamentally about enabling functional safety. The cores can operate in lockstep mode, where one core mirrors the calculations of another, allowing for immediate detection of errors and ensuring integrity for functions like braking or steering control. This is paramount for applications designed to meet the ASIL-D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level D) standard, the highest risk classification defined by the ISO 26262 standard.

Beyond its processing prowess, the TC367 is equipped with a rich set of peripherals and memory resources designed for complex automotive networks. It includes multiple CAN-FD (Flexible Data-Rate) interfaces for high-speed, reliable communication between ECUs, as well as Ethernet TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) support, which is crucial for zonal architectures and over-the-air (OTA) updates. For precision control in powertrain and chassis systems, it offers a high-resolution timer unit and advanced analog-to-digital converters. With a substantial embedded flash memory, it can hold large application codes while providing enhanced security features to protect against unauthorized access.

The application scope for this microcontroller is vast and critical. It is the ideal processing engine for:

Electric Vehicle Powertrains: Managing inverters, motor control, and battery management systems (BMS).

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS): Serving as a key component in radar sensors, fusion ECUs, and camera systems.

Vehicle Dynamics Control: Powering electronic stability control (ESC) and adaptive suspension systems.

Safety Domain Controllers: Acting as a central gateway for managing safety-critical functions across the vehicle.

ICGOOFind: The Infineon AURIX™ TC367DP64F300SAAKXUMA1 is a highly integrated and safety-certified 32-bit microcontroller that embodies the technological core of next-generation automotive innovation. Its multi-core TriCore™ architecture delivers the exceptional performance and functional safety required for ASIL-D compliant systems, from electrification to autonomous driving, making it an indispensable component for engineers designing the future of mobility.
