Infineon's new ARM® Cortex™-M4-based, 32-bit XMC microcontroller family was developed to deliver the power needed by industrial designers to meet the challenges of constant innovation and ever-decreasing development cycles.
The family combines Infineon's leading-edge peripheral set with an industry-standard ARM® Cortex™-M4 core to create a powerhouse for energy-efficient industrial applications.
XMC4500 is the first product generation in this novel microcontroller family. It is designed to enable extremely energy-efficient products. Thanks to Infineon’s in-depth microcontroller know-how, it combines optimum real-time performance with all the benefits of an industry standard CPU core.
XMC4500 controllers feature a configurable peripheral set that enables systems to be tailored to specific application needs. To capitalize fully on this flexibility, Infineon has launched the third generation of its industry-proven development environment DAVE™. DAVE™ 3 hosts a graphical user interface, low-level drivers, application libraries, an auto code generation engine and interfaces to generic or customer-selected development tools. The infrastructure eliminates the need for standard work, thus saving development time and enabling software developers to focus on truly innovative algorithms in applications. SOP: May 2012.
