Math Works and Infineon Technologies announced a hardware support package for MathWorks Simulink products for Infineon's latest AURIX TC4x family of automotive microcontrollers.
Automotive engineers designing advanced electric vehicles, sensor fusion and radar signal processing functions can use the hardware support package even before silicon is available. With the package, they can validate use cases, quickly and automatically generate embedded software, and test algorithms.
“Our newest family of AURIX TC4x microcontrollers will offer customers unmatched security and real-time protection performance,” said Marco Cassol, director of microcontroller product marketing for ADAS, Chassis and EE Architecture applications at Infineon Technologies. “These chips' support of MathWorks' widely used capabilities for model-based design allows engineers to start earlier in pre-silicon software development and automate code generation to accelerate that development. The resulting time-to-market benefits can significantly impact our customers’ success.”
“This close collaboration with Infineon will enable our mutual customers to accelerate the pace of electric vehicle system development,” said MathWorks Fellow Jim Tung. “Engineers can address complex systems while managing risk, with a better understanding of system-level behavior, continuous verification, and a digital thread to requirements. We are proud to contribute to these activities that help make vehicles cleaner, more efficient and more reliable.”
The partnership between MathWorks and Infineon offers capabilities that enable automotive engineers to accelerate the development of electric vehicles and driver assistance functions. These capabilities simplify the development of increasingly complex automotive systems.
Model-based design with MATLAB and Simulink can accelerate the development and verification of embedded systems by 30 to 40 percent over traditional approaches – making continued support of Infineon's automotive microcontrollers valuable to engineers and researchers.
This is the latest in a series of collaborations between Infineon and MathWorks. Another recent example is the inclusion of Infineon's SPICE models for OptiMOS 5 MOSFET devices in MathWorks' Simscape physical modeling environment, enabling faster design and effective control of electric motors for powertrains and cooling, pumps, and other automotive control features. to increase efficiency and decrease CO 2 emissions.
