pls Programmierbare Logik & Systeme now also supports the 32-bit microcontroller TC1782, the latest member of Infineon’s TriCore family AUDO Max, with its modular components based Universal Debug Engine 2.6, the Universal Access Device 2 family and the Universal Emulation Configurator.
The MCU, which is optimized for engine and transmission controls in the automotive field, is based on a 32-bit core with floating point unit and DSP characteristics as well as a Peripheral Control Processor with its own instruction set and 32 bit processing width and can be clocked at 180 MHz maximum over the entire temperature range required by the automotive industry. In addition to up to 2.5 MB on chip flash for program code and 128 KB data flash, the user is also provided with up to 176 KB of integrated SRAM for data storage. Alongside its real-time capability, the device is particularly characterized by the diversity of the integrated interfaces and peripheral units.
The UDE and the UAD2 support all internal resources and peripherals of the new 32-bit MCU without restrictions. Thus, for example, a comfortable multi-core debugging of TriCore and PCP2 within one user interface is possible. The integrated flash programming function of the UDE reaches maximum possible speed in the entire cycle erase-download-program-verify.
With the UAD2, the JTAG interface, the modern Device Access Port with fewer signal lines at the same transfer speed or alternatively also the CANbus can be used as communication channel to the target. Connection of units to the host PC takes place via USB 2.0. With UAD2+, connection also takes place optionally via IEEE 1394 and 10/100 Mb Ethernet.
