Infineon redefines real-time compute and control for software-defined vehicles and Physical AI with new AURIX™ RC1

What happened

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) is introducing a fundamentally new automotive MCU platform, AURIX RC1, the first MCU platform in its industry-leading AURIX series to leverage the open-standard RISC-V instruction set architecture, targeting software-defined vehicles (SDV), other SDX and Physical AI applications. The platform provides one common, highly scalable microcontroller basis across domains instead of point solutions, and integrates the strengths of Infineon's AURIX and TRAVEO T2G families; depending on the application, AURIX RC1 will integrate up to 12 32-bit processing cores, an advanced parallel processing unit for edge AI and up to 40 megabytes of embedded memory. Infineon is also planning to introduce a product lineup within the AURIX RC1 family that extends the traditional microcontroller domain with additional 64-bit microprocessor capabilities. The platform is designed to support applications up to the highest automotive safety level (ASIL D), features cybersecurity mechanisms meeting global standards and regulations such as ISO/SAE 21434 and the Cyber Resilience Act, and supports communication standards such as CAN-XL, 10BASE-T1S and multi-Gigabit Ethernet. Infineon supports the platform with the DRIVECORE software ecosystem and a complementary scalable portfolio of matching OPTIREG power supply solutions. Infineon will present the AURIX RC1 family concept at the electronica trade fair in Munich, Germany (10-13 November) and targets to provide samples in the first half of 2027 (a target, not an achieved result).
