Infineon recently started PSOC Control C3X Family of the ARM-Cortex-M33 MCUS for real-time tax applications in engine control and power conversion systems. The family comprises 18 mcus, which were divided into two lines, the input line (C3P2, C3M3) and the main line (C3P5, C3M5). These MCUs can be used for various applications, including household appliances, industrial drives, robots, light electric vehicles (LEVS), solar systems and HLK systems.
The entry-level line works at up to 100 MHz and supports a 12-bit-SAR-ADC with a sample rate of up to 6 MSPs, which means that it is suitable for the basic tasks of the engine control and electricity conversion. In contrast, the main line offers a higher performance with a operation of up to 180 MHz, a faster 12-bit SAR ADC up to 12 MSPs and a high-resolution PWM (HRPWM) for precise control of 4-channel. It also supports wide frequency power supply systems (Wide Bandgap). Other characteristics of this MCU are DSPS, FPUS and Cordic Hardware Accelerators for fast control loop calculations. The security functions include hardware-based cryptography engines, safe starting units and storage protection units for sensitive data and firmware.

With regard to the software, the company mentions that the PSOC Control C3X real-time MCUS-SUPPORT MODUSTOOLBOX, an ECLIPSE-based development platform for configuring peripheral devices, middlware libraries and security functions such as PSA Level 2. It has a graphical interface and real time. DEBUGGEN, ensure faster and more efficient development. In order to simplify the development process, the company delivers three development kits in the Kit_PSC3M5_EVK, the General-Purple evaluation kit, the Kit_PSC3M5_CC2 Motor Control KIT and the Kit_PSC3M5_CC1 Strom conversion kit
The kit_psc3m5_evk is the general evaluation kit for the PSOC control of Infineon (PSC3M5FDS2AFQ1). The board has real-time control peripheral devices, including a programmable analogue subsystem, comparators, high-resolution timers and CAN FD interfaces. The KIT contains an onboard kitprog3 programmer/debugger, USB Type-C interface and compatibility with Arduino Uno R3 and microbus Shields for hardware expansion. It also offers users -LEDs, buttons and a potentiometer for analog outer simulation. Ideal for embedded systems, real -time control and communication applications.
The motor control kit kit_psc3m5_cc2 is also built around the PSC3M5FDS2AFQ1 MCU. It has a modular design with a MADK connection (M1/M3/M5) for compatibility with different current levels to drive different types of motor. The board contains an isolated onboard Segger J-Link Lite-Debugger for programming and debugging about USB, user-controlled and debugger LEDs and supports sensor or sensorless field-oriented control (FOC) for individual or two engine configurations. The KIT contains the engine tax card, the drive adapter card, the USB cable and the quick start manual so that it is ideal for industrial and embedded engine control applications.
The Kit_PSC3M5_CC1 is a digital power ratio rating card, which is again based on the PSC3M5FDS2AFQ1 MCU. The card integrates a PSOC Control C3 control card, an adapter card and an isolated Jink Debugger for a plug-and-play experience. The most important features of this kit include a USB Type-C interface, an isolated PMBus connection, an optional JTAG/SWD header and access to all IO pins on the tax card. This kit can be used in applications where precise digital performance control is required.
The new PSOC Control C3X series competes against other engine control microcontroller families such as the GigadeVice GD32E5 Cortex-M33 MCUS, NXP MCX A14X/A15X, support for BLDC/PMSM motor control or the more powerful.
At the time of the letter, Infineon mentions that the PSOC Control C3X real-time MCU family is now available, with a service line being expected later in 2025. However, when I checked your store side, the products were currently not in stock. You can find more information about the product on your product page and the press release.
