Infineon Technologies AG has launched a comprehensive software portfolio designed specifically for the latest AURIX TC4x microcontroller (MCU) family. It enables automotive safety applications with production-ready ASIL D drivers for the AUTOSAR MCAL and safety software. By reducing efforts for software partitioning, system-level safety argumentation, and simplifying virtual control units, it speeds up time to market.
The portfolio includes the production-grade MC-ISAR AUTOSAR MCAL, safety software (SafeTlib), complex device drivers, a library for the Converter Digital Signal Processor (CDSP), which is a dedicated DSP for signal post-processing, and data routing software that significantly reduces latency and CPU load to enable high-speed data transfer.
The AURIX TC4x software complies with the highest safety and security standards and has recently passed a combined assessment according to ASPICE 4.0, ISO26262:2018 with ASIL D, and ISO21434. As part of this assessment, the software also achieved ASPICE Level 3 for the first time. Furthermore, the software portfolio is complemented by several partner software products for the AUTOSAR stack, non-AUTOSAR operating systems, communication, security, hypervisors, middleware, and tools.
MC-ISAR provides ASIL D-compliant drivers with advanced features for multicore processing, virtualization, and ASIL software partitioning. SafeTlib facilitates rapid integration of the AURIX TC4x into safety applications, and supports the plug-and-play functionality of the AURIX TC4x safety manual. It also includes a test handler with a test library and management of the external watchdog PMIC TLF4x. The CDSP filter chain library enables ADC post-processing, offloading DSP algorithms from the TriCore.
The production-ready MC-ISAR MCAL drivers, SafeTlib safety software, and CDSP filter chain library for AURIX TC4Dx are available now.
