Infineon Technologies AG has launched a new series of microcontrollers (MCUs) designed for industrial and consumer motor control, as well as power conversion system applications. The Infineon PSOC™ Control family targets home appliances, power tools, renewable energy products, industrial drives, and power supplies for lighting, computing, and telecom.
These new MCUs, based on the Arm® Cortex®-M33 core, enhance current measurement, waveform generation, and real-time performance operations. Steve Tateosian, SVP of IoT and Industrial MCUs at Infineon, emphasized the company’s commitment to high performance and efficiency in motor control and power conversion applications.
Key features of the new MCU family include:
- Clock speeds up to 180 MHz
- High-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
- High-resolution (<100ps) pulse-width-modulation (PWM)
- Integrated CORDIC Accelerator for real-time control tasks
- Power-saving deep sleep (<10uA) and hibernate (<1uA) modes
The Infineon PSOC Control family also supports wide-band gap (WBG) technologies like Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN), improving performance and reducing overall system costs.
The ModusToolbox Motor Suite, designed for motor control applications, simplifies development with software, tools, and resources for advanced motor control, algorithm selection, and motor parameter testing, tuning, and monitoring.
The first two MCUs in the PSOC Control family, with clock speeds of 100 MHz and 180 MHz and up to 256KB embedded flash, are available for early access customers now, with full market availability expected in Q1 2025.
