Infineon announces new microcontroller optimized for automotive 77 GHz radar applications Infineon Technologies AG will add a new member to its automotive microcontroller family AURIX™. TC3A will address new automotive 77 GHz radar applications such as high-end corner radar systems for advanced driver assistance systems and automated driving. New features include a new signal processing unit, a large SRAM memory dedicated to radar and four TriCore™ processors running at 300 MHz with two additional lockstep cores. TC3A’s signal processing unit, called the SPU 2.0, is an evolution of Infineon’s accelerator for radar processing with reduced latencies for Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processing, extended capability for intereference mitigation and different modulation schemes allowing first-tier customers to improve radar resolution at lower cost. “The adoption of advanced driver assistance systems is growing and, eventually, they will evolve into automated driving. Cars in the future will be equipped with a lot more radar units to enable them to perceive their surrounding accurately,” said Ritesh Tyagi, head of the Infineon Automotive Silicon Valley Innovation Center. “The TC3A will enable Infineon to work with start- ups, industry leaders, and tech giants to accelerate innovations for radar systems.” With its TC39, TC35 and TC33 AURIX devices Infineon already offers a set of microcontrollers for long-range, mid-range and short-range radar application. Each device has specific features enabling customers to address their different needs with performance and cost-optimized microcontrollers. The new TC3A will extend this portfolio at the upper performance end. Key features of the TC3A: Four cores with TriCore architecture with two lockstep cores running at 300 MHz providing safe processing capability SPU 2.0 with extended features for realtime interference mitigation and lower resources consumption 6 MB of embedded SRAM to store data during processing High-speed radar MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) interface with up to 600 Mbps

Optimized Cybersecurity in the Vehicle Through Flexible HSM Software To increase cybersecurity in vehicles, vHSM from Vector Informatik is now available. It is a software stack for hardware security modules that contains a wide variety of cryptographic functions. The stack not only supports current challenges such as SecOC (Secure On-Board Communication) and Secure Boot. It also addresses future requirements such as IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) and TLS (Transport Layer Security). The advantage: shortened development times and reduced integration effort by using a solution for OEMs and suppliers that fits perfectly into the automotive environment. Compared to other solutions available on the market, Vector has designed a modular and configurable software solution. It can be seamlessly integrated into an ECU together with any AUTOSAR Basic Software. Its configuration and expansion options make it possible to perfectly customize the software stack to the desired use case. It fulfills the automotive OEM’s security requirements with minimal effort, shortening the development times of ECU projects by avoiding extensive iteration loops. The crypto driver supplied with vHSM was developed according to ISO 26262
