The new PSOC Control C3M, a 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.
The new PSOC Control C3M MCUs enable the control of systems which need to respond to real-time events with minimal delay. The MCUs’ Cortex-M33 core operates at up to 180MHz, and is supported by DSP and a floating-point unit. A coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC), a hardware accelerator for mathematical functions, speeds up the performance of control loop calculations.
The MCU features are particularly well suited to EV charging applications. The PSOC Control C3 Main Line MCU includes a fast 12Msamples/s ADC, high-resolution PWMs, 64kbytes of SRAM and up to 256kbytes of read-while-write Flash memory. This makes it suitable for use in dc chargers, implementing a topology such as three-level Vienna PFC for the ac-dc stage.
Another potential use case is for the PSOC Control C3 Performance Line in the dc-dc stage of EV chargers which implement a three-phase dual active bridge topology. This MCU offers large Flash and SRAM memory provision, fast ADCs and multiple communication interfaces, all integrated in a 100-pin QFP package.
PSA Certified™ to Level 2/EPC2 security, the PSOC Control C3M MCUs also 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. The suite provides a seamless graphical user interface which streamlines evaluation and training, and enables real-time monitoring for valuable insights into performance, efficiency, and reliability. Specialized application environments enable engineers to quickly identify problems, optimize designs, and enhance system functionality.
