Enhanced performance and security with Infineon's vehicle gateway solutions
When designing central gateway applications for cars, the two biggest success factors are performance and security.
As the central hub for internal and external communications, today's automotive connected gateways must deliver significantly higher processing power and data throughput than their predecessors. At the same time, connected gateways play an indispensable role in protecting the vehicle from cyber-attacks, and in enabling new IoT services like car sharing, software updates over the air (SOTA), and predictive maintenance. Infineon's automotive gateway solutions address both of these challenges successfully.
- High performance
- Robust cybersecurity
- Meeting evolving gateway challenges
- Integrated system
Automotive gateway with robust and cutting-edge performance to meet design challenges
With Infineon's solutions for connected gateways in cars, designers no longer need to compromise between performance and security.
Our AURIX™ family of automotive microcontrollers strikes a perfect balance, offering cutting-edge performance along with robust and scalable cybersecurity.
For faster in-car communication and enhanced security, our TRAVEO™ T2G devices are designed with features like dedicated Arm® Cortex®-M0+ for secure processing, embedded flash in dual bank mode for firmware over the air (FOTA) requirements, and the introduction of hardware security modules (HSM).
To further strengthen the security of the vehicle's electronic architecture against various attacks, our OPTIGA™ TPM security controller can be combined with AURIX™ or TRAVEO™ microcontrollers and any application processor. This combination provides additional protection against observative, semi-invasive, manipulative, and other malicious activities. Leading vehicle manufacturers have chosen OPTIGA™ TPM as their preferred security solution for connected cars. It reinforces the security measures and ensures the safety of their vehicles and the data they process.
Enhance your automotive gateway design with advanced subsystems for optimal performance and security
The power supply subsystem feeds power to the processors, communication interfaces, and various circuits on the PCB. Depending on the overall current consumption and connectivity requirements, this subsystem can be realized using integrated solutions (System Basis Chips, SBCs) or discrete components. The processor subsystem consists of a single microcontroller, multiple microcontrollers, or a microcontroller/microprocessor combination depending on overall system partitioning and performance requirements. Regardless of the partitioning, the AURIX™ automotive microcontroller as a gateway provides the necessary physical isolation and protocol translation to safely route messages between the different functional domains. The security subsystem consists of two main components: AURIX™ and Traveo™ with their embedded Hardware Security Module (EVITA HSM full version) for real-time security-critical use cases and the OPTIGA™ TPM security controller to harden the entire E/E architecture more effectively while also enabling new use cases.
Slightly optimizes system costs, both hardware (some reduction in wire harness, size, space, weight) and software, without high development effort as new functionalities (ADAS, Telematics, etc.) emerge to make space in the vehicle for them. Drawback; PCB, module, and EMC design challenges as more power and logic functions are merged.
Scalable platform in performance and in cost, some software reuse for OEM and Tier1 for multiple platforms. Main drawback; high count of vehicle electronic control units (ECU) and heavy vehicle wire harness.
