Infineon is increasingly focusing on the open processor instruction set architecture RISC-V. Over the next few years, the manufacturer intends to launch a complete microcontroller portfolio with RISC-V technology under the brand name Aurix –, ranging from entry-level to high-end models. Infineon is announcing a virtual prototype of an Aurix microcontroller for the embedded world 2025 trade fair in Nuremberg.
This is an important milestone for the disclosed instruction set architecture, as Infineon is the largest European chip manufacturer and leads the automotive microcontroller market with a share of almost 29 percent.
