Product details
Overview
TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 from Infineon Technologies is a 32-bit AURIX™ TriCore™ microcontroller featuring four TC1.6.2P CPU cores operating up to 300 MHz, 10 MB embedded PFlash with ECC, dual-lockstep safety architecture, and integrated Ethernet MAC (RGMII/ RMII/MII), MCMCAN, QSPI, ASCLIN, and PSI5 interfaces. It targets automotive ADAS domain controllers and high-integrity powertrain ECUs requiring ASIL-D compliance.
For engineers reviewing the TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 datasheet, TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 pinout, TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 application, or TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include core lockstep configuration, 300 MHz real-time performance under -40°C to 125°C, 10 MB ECC-protected flash, RGMII Ethernet timing, and MCMCAN FIFO depth for deterministic CAN FD messaging in safety-critical vehicle networks.
Technical Context
The TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 implements a quad-core TriCore™ architecture with two lockstepped CPU pairs for ASIL-D fault containment. Each core integrates a fully pipelined FPU, 240 KB DSPR + 64 KB PSPR RAM, and supports hardware virtualization via the GTM and HSSL inter-processor link.
Its safety subsystem includes SMU, MTU (MBIST/ECC initialization), IOM, and optional Hardware Security Module (HSM) supporting AES-128/256, SHA-256, and TRNG. The peripheral set is optimized for time-deterministic sensor fusion: 25 SENT channels, 4 PSI5 receivers, 3 MCMCAN nodes (16 MBps CAN FD), and VADC with 16 kernels and 0–5.5 V input range.

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature rating for continuous operation?
The TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 is qualified for continuous operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, verified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 stress testing. Its thermal pad and 516-ball BGA package support PCB-level heat dissipation up to 2.8 W typical power consumption under full 300 MHz load with all peripherals active.
Does this part include an integrated Ethernet PHY?
No, the TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 integrates only the IEEE 802.3-compliant Media Access Control (MAC) layer. An external PHY (e.g., LAN8742A or KSZ9031RNX) must be used for physical layer signaling, connected via RGMII, RMII, or MII interface with strict timing alignment per Section 3.24 of the datasheet.
How many CAN FD channels does it support natively?
The device integrates three MCMCAN modules, each supporting four CAN FD nodes, for a total of 12 configurable CAN FD channels. Each node operates up to 5 Mbps with hardware message filtering, FIFO buffering (up to 128 messages per FIFO), and time-triggered communication support per ISO 11898-1:2015.
Is the Hardware Security Module (HSM) enabled by default?
No-the HSM is an optional feature physically present on the TC389QP160F300SAELXUMA2 die but disabled at power-on. It must be explicitly activated via secure boot sequence and configured using Infineon's HSM API libraries; its cryptographic accelerators remain inaccessible until authenticated firmware initializes the module.
