ARM® modules leading the way in the mass module market

In the race for market leadership, ARM® processor quantities are now ahead of x86 architecture, since many devices on the mass market, such as mobile telephones and PDAs rely on ARM processors. However, the x86 architecture still...

Software Programming Considerations for ISO26262 ASIL-B

Designing systems that meet the requirements of the various safety standards is a challenge facing an ever increasing number of engineers. One area in particular where more safety-critical systems are being introduced is in the...

Redundant Data Storage

One of the key techniques required for safety critical software implementation is the concept of redundant storage of data. For example, the throttle angle output variable in a drive-by-wire system has the potential to cause...

Was ist DAS

In everyday scenarios, the debug connection to Infineon 8, 16 and 32 bit micros ‘just works’ and as long as it does then everyone is happy. If for some reason there is a problem, normally with the reset circuit, then trying to...

When does 3x3=10?

Infineon recently announced the first details of its new family of micros which feature up to three next-generation TriCore processor cores; however this actually means there are 10 cores inside! This seemingly improbable...
