Munich, Germany – 6 March 2025 – Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) leads the way for the adoption of RISC-V in the automotive industry: The company will launch a new automotive microcontroller family based on RISC-V within the coming years. This new family will become part of Infineon’s established automotive microcontroller brand AURIX™. It will extend the company’s existing automotive microcontroller portfolio, which is based on TriCore™ (AURIX TC family) and Arm® (TRAVEO™ family, PSOC™ family). The new AURIX family will cover a wide range of automotive applications from entry-level MCUs up to high-performance MCUs beyond what is available in the market today. At Embedded World 2025, Infineon now introduces a virtual prototype enabled by key ecosystem partners. This is a starter kit for Infineon’s partners to begin pre-silicon software development.
“Infineon is committed to making RISC-V the open standard for the automotive industry,” said Peter Schiefer, President of Infineon’s Automotive Division. “In the era of software-defined vehicles, real-time performance, safe and secured computing as well as flexibility, scalability and software portability become even more important than today. Microcontrollers based on RISC-V help to meet these complex requirements, reducing vehicle complexity and time to market at the same time.”
