Both companies intend to cooperate to further improve the efficiency of future electric vehicles and lower system costs while considering functional safety and cybersecurity requirements compliant with ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434.

Microcontrollers are used in electric powertrains, E/E architecture, ADAS, and radar.It is a key component for the automotive industry that controls and monitors various automotive systems, such as the chassis.

Infineon's AURIX TC4x microcontrollers combine power and performance enhancements with cutting-edge trends in virtualization, AI-based modeling, functional safety, cybersecurity, and network functions to facilitate the implementation of new E/E architectures and next-generation software-defined vehicles.

Thomas Stierle, Executive Director of Electrification Solutions at Vitesco Technologies, said, “Through our collaboration with Infineon, we have gained tremendous advantages in defining the characteristics and functions of microcontrollers for future vehicles at an early stage. This allows us to proactively pave the way for future SDVs.”

Peter Schiefer, President of Infineon’s Automotive Business Unit, said, “The system know-how and expertise of innovative companies like Vitesco Technologies are greatly helping Infineon’s AURIX TC4x microcontroller family establish itself as a critical component in the development of next-generation E/E architectures. We are proud to further strengthen our collaboration with Vitesco and work together for the future of mobility.”
