Infineon launches new controller family that sets standards in safety, efficiency, performance and ease of implementation

July 27, 2023 /SemiMedia/ — Infineon Applied sciences AG not too long ago introduced the brand new TEGRION™ safety controller household, the corporate’s broadest portfolio of 28 nm safety controllers. It integrates the brand new Integrity Guard 32 safety structure and a sophisticated Arm® v8-M instruction set for enhanced machine efficiency. TEGRION safety controllers supply ease of implementation, quick design-in and time-to-market, whereas supporting lengthy product lifecycles. The broad portfolio of TEGRION safety controllers is designed to help a variety of functions from sensible residence, sensible mobility and sensible {industry} to fee, identification and life-style.

“By investing in and launching the TEGRION safety controller household, Infineon is demonstrating its long-term dedication to the safety market. It's the strongest safety controller household the corporate has ever launched,” mentioned Ioannis Kabitoglou, Senior Vice President & Common Supervisor Digital Safety & Id at Infineon. “Primarily based on the optimistic buyer suggestions, we're assured that the TEGRION safety controller household will meet present and future safety utility necessities. And, as a matter of reality, our prospects will be capable to develop their working methods a lot sooner.”

TEGRION options Infineon’s distinctive Integrity Guard 32 {hardware} safety structure, which tremendously simplifies utility improvement. It permits design-for-security situations which might be important to sustainable success of right this moment’s and tomorrow’s linked functions. Integrity Guard 32 allows larger ranges of safety with out compromising on efficiency and reliability. It's primarily based on a holistic strategy that integrates the system’s processing core, on-chip recollections, buses, caches, crypto accelerators and peripheral interfaces right into a complete safety structure.

Extremely efficient error detection/correction codes and a self-checking dual-CPU core defend the system. Energy-efficient crypto accelerators allow quick knowledge encryption and digital signatures and different crypto operations whereas defending the system from side-channel, fault induction and bodily assaults. Integrity Guard 32 pushes the boundaries of {hardware} safety ahead, whereas lowering the entire value of possession over all the product lifecycle, thus enabling simpler utility improvement with considerably much less efforts for cover measures in software program.

The primary member of the brand new household, the SLC26P, was launched in November 2022 and contains EMVCo certification for fee markets. Over the previous six months, this product has skilled a really speedy ramp-up to quantity manufacturing, pushed by buyer demand. The primary implementation primarily based on a TEGRION safety controller, a SECORA™ Pay fee answer, has demonstrated industry-leading contactless and personalization efficiency. Primarily based on the brand new Mastercard 2023 efficiency guideline with 144-byte keys, a fee card with the SECORA Pay safety answer allows contactless transactions inside 155 ms – nearly halving the anticipated transaction time (lower than 300 ms).

The primary TEGRION safety controller household, the SLC26P for fee functions, is out there now and the portfolio is being constantly expanded. By the top of the 12 months, Infineon plans to handle the areas of presidency identification, transport ticketing in addition to eSIM and Safe Ingredient, bringing the advantages of superior 28 nm expertise to extra functions.
