Equipped with smart rendering technology… Provides performance suitable for automotive graphics applications
LPDDR4 interface, supports complex 3D scene production… Free HMI design possible

Infineon Technologies AG (Infineon) announced the TRAVEO™ T2G cluster automotive microcontroller (MCU) family featuring a new graphics engine.

Infineon announced today the launch of its TRAVEO T2G cluster MCU product, which enables cluster, infotainment and cockpit systems with MPU performance at an MCU price.

This graphics engine features new smart rendering technology and delivers outstanding performance for automotive graphics applications.

These MCUs are ideal for advanced smart cluster and head-up display systems in automobiles, motorcycles and heavy equipment vehicles, as well as quality- and safety-critical industrial and medical applications, as they simplify system integration and reduce BOM costs with their compact footprint.

Combining this device with the processor of an intelligent cockpit can achieve extremely fast startup times.

The MCU's graphics engine reduces the memory required for graphics processing by 3 to 5 times, lowering power consumption and reducing costs.

Additionally, the optimized 2.5D graphics engine supports full display instrument panel with high resolution up to 1920 x 1080 and LPDFeaturing the DR4 interface and the ability to create complex 3D scenes, it gives designers more freedom in designing advanced HMIs.

Based on up to two Arm Cortex-M7 cores at up to 320 MHz, the TRAVEO T2G clustered microcontroller family delivers best-in-class ASIL-B/SIL-2 safety performance and offers up to 6 MB flash and up to 4 MB internal VRAM or 1 GB LPPDR4 VRAM.

Additionally, it features EVITA high-level HSM providing advanced security with hardware encryption accelerator and enhanced hardware protection with dedicated ARM Cortex-M0+ to meet the latest safety and security requirements.

These products are available in a variety of packages ranging from 500-pin BGA to 144-pin LQFP.

“The TRAVEO T2G cluster MCU family with integrated dedicated graphics accelerator enables cluster, infotainment and cockpit systems with MPU performance at an MCU price,” said Ralf Koedel, Vice President, Microcontrollers Smart Mobility at Infineon. “These MCUs use innovative line-based processing that reduces line buffers by up to ten times compared to competitive devices, resulting in lower power consumption, lower memory requirements and lower BOM costs.”
