Optimised 32-bit single-core MCU in three versions

Rutronik introduces Infineon Technologies’ PSOC C3 MCUs in the Entry, Main, and Performance product lines for optimised solutions in various applications. The Arm Cortex-M33-based MCUs feature real-time control for motor and energy conversion solutions and a scalable portfolio of functions, packages, pinouts, memory, and performance. The differentiating control peripherals are wide-bandgap-compatible. The controllers are a turnkey solution for complete development cycles with higher performance and system efficiency, greater security, and a shorter time to market for applications. They are excellent for usage in market segments such as smart homes, servers, telecommunications, and industry.

The devices operate up to 180MHz (entry-level series: up to 100MHz). They combine the advantages of DSPs and FPUs, improving computational performance and precision.

In addition, the devices include advanced real-time peripherals, including:

• High-performance, programmable analog subsystem
• Five comparators with built-in 10-bit DAC and slope generator < 10="">
• Advanced timers with high-resolution capability
• Up to six serial communication blocks (SCB)
• Two CAN FDs, one with 8Mbps

Depending on application needs, the components support one active and five low-power modes for managing and lowering energy consumption. They are PSA L2-certified with crypto accelerator, TrustZone, key management, and secure storage for various security options, and provide high autonomous and analog sampling rates with full control flexibility and digital IPs.

The controllers have up to 50 GPIOs (or up to 39 GPIOs in the entry series) with programmable control modes, strengths, and rise rates, and up to 28 pins (up to 22 pins in the entry series) supporting Smart I/O programmable logic, and up to 16 dedicated analog pins.

The MCUs are obtainable in VQFN-48, E-LQFP-48, VQFN-64, E-LQFP-64, or E-LQFP-80 packages. They are designed for a supply voltage range of 1.71V to 3.6V and operate reliably at ambient temperatures from -40C to 105C.

Further benefits include:

• 12-bit, 12Msps SAR ADC (entry series: 6Msps SAR ADC) with parallel idle sampling of up to 16 analog channels
• 16 x 16-bit and 4 x 32-bit TCPWM (timer/counter pulse width modulator) with 80ps HighRes-option
• Improved routing flexibility with a combinatorial trigger multiplexing unit
• 256KB read-while-write flash with ECC support
• Low-power operating modes down to 300nA: Sleep, Deep Sleep (three modes) and Hibernate
• Security: PSA L2-certified; configurable flash partitioning and protection
• Safety test libraries according to Class B and SIL 2 are available

Typical application areas include motor control for power tools, household appliances, industrial drives, light electric vehicles, robotics, and drones; digital power control in SMPS and PFC applications for LED lighting, EV chargers, solar inverters, servers, PC power supplies; and motor control and power conversion applications based on wide-bandgap technologies (e.g. SiC and GaN).
