Product details
Overview
TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 from Infineon Technologies is a 32-bit AURIX™ TriCore™ microcontroller with four lockstep-capable TC1.6.2P CPU cores operating up to 300 MHz, 10 MB ECC-protected program flash, 512 KB data flash for EEPROM emulation, and integrated safety features including SMU, MTU, and optional HSM. It targets automotive ASIL-D safety-critical control units such as electric powertrain inverters and chassis domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 datasheet, TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 pinout, TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 application, or TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-core lockstep configuration, RGMII/Ethernet MAC support, MCMCAN with FIFO buffering, SENT sensor interface count, and functional safety certification status per ISO 26262.
Technical Context
The TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 implements a deterministic real-time architecture with two independent lockstepped CPU pairs (CPU0/CPU1 and CPU2/CPU3), each pair sharing dedicated DSPR/PSPR RAM and cache. Its SRI crossbar enables concurrent access to PFLASH, DFLASH, and LMU memory blocks while maintaining ECC protection across all on-chip SRAM and NVM.
Peripheral subsystems are partitioned across SPB domains: three MCMCAN modules handle time-triggered CAN FD traffic with hardware message filtering; GTM provides autonomous PWM generation and signal conditioning for motor control; and VADC clusters support simultaneous sampling of up to 16 channels with configurable resolution and oversampling for current/voltage sensing in traction inverters.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC397XPV160F300SAAKXUMA1 | Higher memory (16 MB PFLASH), additional GTM slice, no BGA516 option (BGA320 only) | Targeted at next-gen ADAS domain controllers requiring larger code footprint and extra timer resources | Select when needing >10 MB flash or additional GTM channels; not pin-compatible due to different package |
| S32K344WAT0MLT | ARM Cortex-M7 core, 4 MB flash, no lockstep CPU pairs, ASIL-B certified only | Suitable for non-safety-critical body electronics but lacks ASIL-D runtime fault coverage | Choose only for cost-sensitive ASIL-B applications where TriCore safety architecture is unnecessary |
Compared with TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2, the TC397 offers expanded memory and peripherals at the cost of package compatibility, while the S32K344 trades safety integrity for ARM ecosystem alignment-neither matches its dual-lockstep TriCore performance in ASIL-D motor control.

FAQ
What safety certifications does TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 support?
This microcontroller is designed to meet ISO 26262 ASIL-D requirements at the system level, with built-in safety mechanisms including lockstep CPU pairs, ECC-protected memories, SMU alarm monitoring, and MTU-based memory self-tests. Certification evidence is provided in Infineon's Safety Manual (V1.2, 2021) and FMEDA reports, not inherent to the silicon alone.
Does TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 include hardware cryptographic acceleration?
The base part does not integrate an HSM; however, the "F" suffix variant (e.g., TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2) supports optional HSM firmware enablement. When activated, it delivers AES-128/256, SHA-256, RSA-2048, and TRNG functions with dedicated key storage and secure boot enforcement.
What is the maximum supported Ethernet speed and interface mode?
The integrated Ethernet MAC supports 10/100/1000 Mbps operation exclusively via RGMII interface with 1.8 V I/O signaling. RMII and MII modes are also supported but limited to 10/100 Mbps; RGMII requires precise PCB layout with matched trace lengths and impedance control to maintain signal integrity at 125 MHz.
Can TC389QP160F300SAEKXUMA2 operate without external crystal oscillators?
Yes-it integrates a factory-trimmed 12 MHz internal RC oscillator (IRC) for boot and low-speed operation, plus a 32 kHz backup RTC oscillator. For full-speed CPU operation (300 MHz), the SYS_PLL must be clocked by either an external crystal (12–20 MHz) or an external clock source; the IRC alone cannot sustain maximum frequency.
