High-quality signal processing from secured MCU eases motor control and power conversion

The PSOC Control C3, the newest family of Arm^® Cortex^®-M33-based MCUs from Infineon, allows developers to create motor-control and power-conversion systems which offer high performance, high efficiency and high security.

These new PSOC Control C3 MCUs enable the control of systems which need to respond to real-time events with minimal delay. The Cortex-M33 core of the MCU is supported by a DSP and a floating-point unit. A coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC), and hardware accelerator for mathematical functions, speed up the performance of control loop calculations. 

The MCU features are particularly well suited to EV charging applications. This MCU offers large Flash and SRAM memory provision, fast ADCs and multiple communication interfaces, all integrated in a QFP package.

PSA Certified™ to Level 2/EPC2 security, the MCUs provide the cyber-protection capabilities required by EV charging stations. Security features include a cryptographic accelerator, a TrustZone execution environment, and secured key storage, providing protection for both IP and firmware updates. PSOC Control C3 MCUs are also equipped with robust safety features such as Class B and SIL 2 safety libraries. 

The PSOC Control family is supported by the ModusToolbox™ unified platform consisting of tools and software solutions. The platform provides a dedicated ecosystem including the Motor Suite software library. ModusToolbox™ Motor Suite provides a seamless graphical user interface which streamlines evaluation and training, with real-time monitoring of performance, allowing engineers to identify issues and optimize designs.
