Microcontrollers target HMI applications

Infineon Technologies AG has expanded its PSoC 4 portfolio of microcontrollers with the new PSoC 4100S Max family with its next-generation of CAPSENSE capacitive sensing technology. It offers expanded Flash memory and general-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIO) for human machine interface (HMI) applications to support the fifth generation CAPSENSE touch sensors. Target applications include industrial control, home automation, and large home appliances including robotics, inductive sensors, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, smart thermostats, and printers.

The PSoC 4100S Max, housed in 7 × 7 mm and 14 × 14 mm² packages, incorporates a 32-bit MCU subsystem with a 48-MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU with a DMA controller, up to 384K Flash memory (largest PSoC 4 Flash memory in its class), and a cryptographic accelerator. Other key features include up to 84 GPIOs, CAN-FD, and high-speed, long-range wired communication, as well as I²S master for fully embedded audio solutions. It also includes dual fifth generation CAPSENSE blocks for differentiated HMI and touch sensing solutions.

Available now for ordering, the PSoC 4100S is compatible with Infineon’s latest ModusToolbox 3.0 development platform. The ModusToolbox 3.0 also is compatible for embedded applications using Infineon’s PSoC 6, XMC, AIROC Wi-Fi, AIROC Bluetooth, and EZ-PD PMG1 microcontrollers. The toolkit is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
