UDE® Debug, Trace and Test solution for Infineon TriCore™ AURIX™ TC4x Microcontrollers

The 32-bit TriCore™ AURIX™ TC4x is a highly integrated multicore SoCs manufactured in 28-nm technology.

• Addresses a wide range of automotive applications such as e-mobility, ADAS and AI applications
• Masters highly complex challenges in the area of domain and zone control
• Meets the highest safety requirements with regard to autonomous driving

UDE® Debug, Trace and Test solution for Infineon AURIX TC4x microcontroller family

The AURIX™ TC4x consist of up to six powerful main cores based on the Next-Generation TriCore™ v1.8 architecture, a special Cyber-Security Real-Time Module (CSRM), and other new enhancements for high-performance applications.

New introductions include the (enhanced) Generic Timer Module (GTM/eGTM) plus AURIX accelerator suite elements, such as converter DSPs (cDSP) at the analog-to-digital converters (ADC), and a Parallel Processing Unit (PPU). This powerful accelerator is based on Synopsys ARC® EV architecture, which enables mathematical modeling of complex heterogeneous systems.
