Infineon Technologies AG has introduced a new series of microcontrollers targeted for industrial and consumer motor controls.
Based on the Arm Cortex-M33 core, the MCU family delivers on-board functionality to accelerate current measurement, waveform generation and real-time performance operations for applications such as home appliances, drones, power tools, renewable energy, industrial drives, telecom, computing and lighting.
“The new Infineon PSOC Control MCUs extend the company’s commitment to delivering performance and efficiency in next-generation motor control and power conversion applications,” said Steve Tateosian, SVP of IoT and Industrial MCUs, IoT, Wireless and Compute Business at Infineon Technologies. “With extensive on-board analog functionality, high performance timers, hardware math acceleration, and a rich design tool ecosystem, the new device family will enable system designers to deliver innovative, energy-saving devices to both high-volume and specialized markets.”
Additional features include:
- Clock speed up to 180 MHz
- Analog-to-digital converters
- High resolution pulse-width modulation
- 10 uA deep sleep mode
- Less than 1 uA hibernate mode
The MCUs support power electronics based on wide-bandgap technologies such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), which will both enhance the performance and reduce the bill of materials of the overall system, Infineon said.
