Infineon Technologies AG (Korea CEO Seung-Soo Lee) unveils a zone controller design platform for SDVs that can be quickly adapted to automotive manufacturers' specific requirements, shortening time to market.

Infineon announced on the 13th that Flex, Infineon's automotive design partner, has unveiled the new Flex Modular Zone Controller design platform for software-defined vehicles.

The platform is an innovative, scalable zone control unit (ZCU) featuring a modular microcontroller (MCU) architecture and common hardware building blocks.

The Flex modular zone controller platform is an automotive-grade design solution for rapid ZCU implementation, enabling automakers to flexibly deliver software-defined vehicles to volume customers.

Combining Infineon’s innovative chipsets with Flex’s design and advanced manufacturing capabilities, the solution provides automakers with a next-generation zone controller platform with optimized power distribution, gateway and motor control solutions.

This production-ready platform can be quickly tailored to an automaker’s specific requirements, accelerating production and reducing time to market.

The Flex modular zone controller platform enables efficient and fast implementations. Optimizing ZCU development.

Infineon’s optimized chipset enables early performance optimization by enabling rapid evaluation of key component functions including hardware data accelerator (Data Routing Engine/CAN Routing Engine), sequential diagnostics, I²T protection and SPI control.

The platform enables seamless integration of modular MCUs with power distribution and actuation functions through endpoint-agnostic control implementation.

The Flex modular zone controller platform is expected to be available to customers in 2025.
