Future Electronics Promotes Infineon XMC4000 Microcontroller Family

Pointe Claire, Canada, April 06, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, recently announced immediate shipping availability of XMC4000 microcontrollers from Infineon.

Infineon's new safety package for the XMC4000 family of 32-bit microcontrollers further advances the development of functional safety industrial applications. The XMC4000 safety package helps to develop TÜV-certified automation systems that conform with safety integrity levels SIL2 and SIL3. In addition, use of the XMC4000 safety package helps to cut development time for the functional safety software test libraries down to about a year. The XMC4000 safety package includes XMC4000 microcontroller hardware, detailed documentation and a TÜV-certified software test library.

The XMC4000 families include XMC4800, XMC4700, XMC4500, XMC4400, XMC4200, XMC4100, with all devices qualified for operation at +125°C ambient temperature. They are powered by ARM® Cortex®-M4 with a built-in DSP instruction set, Single Precision Floating Point Unit, Direct Memory Access (DMA) feature and Memory Protection Unit (MPU).

All members of the XMC4000 family come with a comprehensive set of common, fast and precise analog/mixed signal, Timer/PWM and communication peripherals. Today's XMC4000 family has six series: XMC4100, XMC4200, XMC4400, XMC4500, XMC4700 and XMC4800, with more than 75 devices in VQFN, LQFP and LFBGA packages scaling from 48 to 196 pins. As a highlight, the XMC4800 devices are the first-ever highly integrated ARM Cortex-M4 based microcontrollers with EtherCAT® integrated, bringing real-time Ethernet communication that is easy to implement with high cost effectiveness.
