Infineon: XMC4000

Infineon has taken their wealth of know-how in microcontroller design for real-time critical control applications to combine it -for the first time ever- with all benefits of an industry standard core. The unique result, the XMC4000 microcontroller family based on ARM^®Cortex™-M4, is dedicated to industrial applications in the field of renewable energy, factory and building automation, transportation, logistics and medical equipment.

Striving for energy-efficient solutions it greatly benefits from Infineon’s well-known set of configurable peripherals, fast embedded Flash technology, high quality standards, long product life times, and the ability to provide high temperature ranges of up to 125°C.

XMC creates competitive advantages by providing the system performance and peripheral set required to develop highly energy-efficient solutions
XMC speeds up time-to-production by reducing complexity, development time and cost
XMC guarantees scalability and code compatibility across family members
XMC satisfies demanding requirements in terms of temperature (125°C ambient) and product availability (>15 years)
XMC is supported by a wide range of tools and software partners and the new DAVE™3 code generation tool

XMC4500

XMC4500, the first product generation of the XMC microcontroller family, is dedicated to enable highly energy-efficient products with industrial interconnection capabilities. Infineon’s in-depth microcontroller know-how, demonstrated over the past decades in a number of well-recognized CPU kernels and peripherals, guarantees the best real-time performance in the industry, now coupled with all benefits of an industry standard CPU core.
