“The development kit follows a scalable approach and is based on reusable assets, combining approximately 30 building blocks. This allows developers to configure different zone control unit implementations flexibly, and offers a path to series implementation,” according to Infineon.
It has dual microcontrollers for fail-safe operation, with up to 2x 6,810Dmips real-time performance backed by up to 2x 10Mbyte ram and 2x 21Mbyte non-volatile memory.
These are pluggable, and can be replaced with a single MCU.
Internal hardware accelerators are available for cybersecurity including protection over-the-air software updates.
Among Ethernet interfaces are 2x 1000BASE-T1 (1x can be upgraded to 2500BASE-T1), 2x 100BASE-T1 and 2x 10BASE-T1S.
For CAN communication there are 2x 5Mbit/s CAN-FD interfaces with ‘partial networking’ (for selective wake-up networked ECUs while others sleep), then 18x 5Mbit/s CAN-FD without partial networking.
Other interfaces include: 16x LIN, 1x 10Mbit/s Flex Ray, 2x 125kbit/s bidirectional PSI5, 4x DSI3 (for up to 12 ultrasonic sensors), 2x SENT (upgrade path to SPC protocol with master trigger) and 4x WSS three-wire wheel speed sensor (upgrade path to two-wire).
There are discrete signal inputs and outputs: 4x pulled down digital input, 10x pulled-up digital input, 24x pulled-up analogue input and 2x 5V analogue outputs.
For power control there are: 8x e-fuses (with hardware i2t protection), 42x high-side switches, 4x low-side switches, 8x half-bridges for motors, and one full-bridge for brushed motors.
The unit itself has two reverse-polatity-protected power supply inputs for redundant operation, and can shed functions to operated down to 5mA.
“With the development kit’s building block concept, developers can right-size their designs for many individual implementations while preserving feature headroom for future models,” claimed Infineon.
