ADD A COMMENT >

Infineon Technologies AG has started to sample three new performance classes in its XMC4000 microcontroller family, which was specially developed for industrial applications and uses ARM Cortex M4 processors.

According to Infineon, the XMC4400, XMC4200 and XMC4100 are the world’s first Cortex-based microcontrollers to offer a high-resolution PWM unit. With a PWM resolution of just 150ps, they are especially suitable for digital power conversion in inverters as well as switching and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Other applications are to be found in IO units in automation, user interfaces (HMI) and logging and control systems. 

The new XMC4400, XMC4200 and XMC4100 series microcontrollers are part of the Infineon roadmap to serve a broad range of industrial applications with the XMC4000 family. The XMC4400, XMC4200 and XMC4100 series offer powerful application-optimized peripherals, fast and robust embedded Flash technology, an extended temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, high quality standards and tools for automatic code generation in the DAVE 3 development environment.

The XMC4000 family now comprises four series: XMC4500, XMC4400, XMC4200 and XMC4100. They differ mainly in core frequency, memory capacity, peripheral functions and number of IOs. The XMC4400, XMC4200 and XMC4100 series have a powerful CPU subsystem with 120MHz or 80MHz, DSP functionality, a Floating Point Unit, fast Flash memory (512 KByte, 256 KByte or 128 KByte) with a read time of just 22ns and error correction code as well as SRAMs up to 80 KByte. The extensive range of peripherals includes high-speed 12-bit A/D and D/A converters as well as integrated delta-sigma demodulator modules (XMC4400). Powerful communication is provided by Ethernet MAC (XMC4400), USB 2.0 and CAN interfaces as well as serial communication channels which can be software-configured individually as UART, SPI, Quad-SPI, I2S or I2C. They also provide a touch interface and an LED matrix display.

The XMC4400, XMC4200 and XMC4100 also are supported with the integrated development platform DAVE 3, which makes convenient, fast and application-orientated software development possible. The Eclipse-based environment with free GNU compiler and debugger can be extended using third party tools.

Samples of all three series are available. High-volume production is scheduled to start at the end of the second quarter in 2013. The XMC4400 series (in LQFP-100 or LQFP-64 package) has a clock frequency of 120MHz and Flash memory of up to 512KB. The XMC4200 and XMC4100 series (both LQFP-64 or VQFN-48) operate at 80MHz. The XMC4200 has a Flash memory of up to 256KB and the XMC4100 of up to 128KB. Hexagon development kits are available for all series.
