TriCore™ architecture

TriCore™ architecture overview and key features

 

TriCore™ is the first unified, single-core, 32-bit microcontroller DSP architecture optimized for real-time embedded systems. TriCore™ Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) combines the real-time capability of a microcontroller, computational power of a DSP, and high performance/price features of a RISC load or store architecture in a compact re-programmable core.

The architecture supports both 16-bit and 32-bit instruction formats.

Key features of TriCore™ ISA:

  • 4 GB of address space
  • 16-/32-bit instructions for reduced code size
  •  Branch instructions (using branch prediction)
  •  Low interrupt latency with fast automatic content switch using wide pathway to on-chip memory
  •  Zero overhead loop capabilities
  •  Dual, single-clock-cycle, 16x 16-bit multiply-accumulate unit (with optional saturation)
  •  Optional Floating-Point Unit (FPU) and Memory Management Unit (MMU)
  •  Extensive bit-handling capabilities
  •  Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) packed data operations (2x 16-bit or 4x 8-bit operands)
  •  Flexible interrupt prioritization scheme
  •  Byte and bit addressing
  •  Memory protection and debug support

TriCore™ generations

In 1999, Infineon launched the first generation of the AUtomotive unifieD processOr (AUDO) family. Based on a unified RISC + MCU + DSP processor core, these 32-bit TriCore™ microcontrollers were a computational power horse. Infineon has evolved and optimized the concept ever since, culminating in the sixth generation of the TriCore™ architecture.

Thanks to its high real-time performance, embedded safety and security features, the TriCore™ architecture is the ideal platform for a wide range of automotive applications. The TriCore™ success story continues with the AURIX™ TC2xx multicore family. AURIX™ combines functional safety support, strong performance, and a futureproof security solution in a highly scalable product family.

The AURIX™ TC3xx family, which is manufactured in 40 nm embedded flash technology and designed for ultimate reliability in harsh automotive environments. As before with AURIX™ MCUs, the dual frontend concept ensures continuous supply. An extensive ecosystem is available including AUTOSAR libraries and safety software to help manufacturers meet SIL/ASIL safety standards.

AURIX™ Preferred Design Houses (PDH)

Infineon offers optimized, open-market customer support for systems using AURIX™ MCUs through a network of technical experts. The participating partners are trained in the use of AURIX™ microcontrollers and provide product- and application-specific support. The Preferred Design Houses (PDH) extend the support force by specifying and customizing their expertise and thus increase the value of customer service.

The first level of support is provided by local field application engineers, and the second level, which addresses more complex topics, is provided by dedicated automotive security experts. Dedicated on-site consulting can also be organized to help customers reduce development time and costs.
