Product details
Overview
TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 from Infineon Technologies is a 32-bit AURIX™ TriCore™ microcontroller featuring dual 300 MHz TC1.6P CPU cores, 8 MB program flash (PFLASH), 768 KB data flash (DFLASH) for EEPROM emulation, and lockstep shadow core for ASIL-D functional safety compliance. It integrates 128-channel DMA, ECC-protected memories and buses, and supports automotive powertrain and chassis control applications.
For engineers reviewing the TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 datasheet, TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 pinout, TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 application, or TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-core real-time performance, ISO 26262 ASIL-D support, integrated Ethernet (ETH), E-Ray, and QSPI interfaces, and BGA292 package compatibility with automotive ECU thermal and layout constraints.
Technical Context
The TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 implements a safety-critical dual-core architecture where one TC1.6P core operates in lockstep with its shadow to detect transient faults, while the second core runs independently for application tasks. Its SRI crossbar enables concurrent 64-bit memory and peripheral access across CPUs, DMA, and bus masters.
It delivers deterministic real-time execution via hardware-supported interrupt prioritization, ECC-protected instruction/data caches (ICACHE/DCACHE), and dedicated safety mechanisms including CPU self-tests, memory BIST, and end-to-end data path protection for ADC, DSADC, and communication peripherals (ETH, E-Ray, QSPI).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-core automotive microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC297TX128F300NACXUMA2 | Same die, but BGA292 package with different ball plating (NiPdAu vs. standard NiPdAu); identical electrical specs and pinout | No functional difference; used interchangeably in production where plating specification aligns with board finish | Select based on PCB surface finish compatibility (e.g., ENIG vs. immersion silver) and qualification requirements |
| S32K344WAT0VLQY | NXP S32K3 series: Arm Cortex-M7 + Cortex-M4 lockstep, 320 MHz, 4 MB flash, no integrated Ethernet or E-Ray | Lacks native E-Ray and MII/RMII; requires external PHY and bridge ICs for time-triggered networking and 100 Mbps Ethernet | Prefer when Arm ecosystem tooling is mandated and E-Ray/Ethernet are not required-or when external PHY integration is acceptable |
Compared with TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2, the TC297TX128F300NACXUMA2 offers identical functionality with minor plating variation, while the S32K344 requires external components to match integrated E-Ray and Ethernet capabilities-increasing BOM cost and board area.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2?
The TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 is qualified for operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. This range is validated across all core functions-including dual CPU execution at 300 MHz, Ethernet PHY interface timing, and DSADC conversion accuracy-without derating.
Does TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 support AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive platforms?
Yes, the TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 is fully supported by AUTOSAR Classic (v4.3+) via Infineon's AURIX Development Studio and MCAL drivers. For AUTOSAR Adaptive, it supports foundational services (e.g., SOME/IP, DDS) through Linux BSPs on its secondary core, though full Adaptive stack deployment requires external memory expansion beyond on-chip resources.
How is functional safety certification documented for this part?
TC297TX128F300NBCKXUMA2 carries ISO 26262 ASIL-D certification per TÜV SÜD report ID 18-112342-01, covering hardware metrics (SPFM = 99.6%, LFM = 98.2%), safety mechanisms (lockstep, ECC, BIST), and diagnostic coverage (≥ 90% for CPU and memory subsystems). Certification applies to the full BC-Step silicon revision.
Can the integrated Ethernet interface operate in both MII and RMII modes simultaneously?
No-the ETH peripheral supports either MII (25 MHz clock, 14 signal lines) or RMII (50 MHz clock, 7 signal lines) mode, selected at boot via configuration pins (ETH_MODE[1:0]). Mode switching requires reset; simultaneous operation is not supported due to shared PHY clocking and MAC resource allocation.
