TC17XX (AUDO)

Targets: Automotive

The TC17xx AUDO FUTURE family of 32-bit microcontrollers target use in engine and transmission systems to control such functions as injection, ignition and exhaust gas recirculation to cut fuel consumption and reduce harmful emissions. With a TriCore core, peripheral control processor, high density flash memory, a FlexRay communications block, and support for AUTOSAR software, AUDO family devices target evolving automotive emission standards. The AUDO FUTURE family is suited for the upcoming OBD2 (OnBoard Diagnostics) self-diagnosis requirements. New emission standards require more complex algorithms and more performance, and the high density of embedded flash in the AUDO FUTURE devices allows all of the code to reside in a single chip.

The scalable AUDO FUTURE family currently contains three members. The entry-level 80 MHz TC1736 includes 1-Mbytes of Flash memory, the 133 MHz TC1767 includes 2-Mbytes of Flash, and the TC1797, which operates at 180 MHz, offers 4-Mbytes of Flash, and an integrated FlexRay controller. The FlexRay core integrated into the TC1797 uses Infineon's discrete CIC-310 FlexRay controller. A dedicated, programmable peripheral control processor (PCP) engine manages the on-chip peripherals.
