Product details
Overview
TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 from Infineon is a 32-bit AURIX™ TC3xx multicore microcontroller based on the TriCore™ v1.6.2 architecture, featuring three independent CPU cores (TC1.6.2), 1.6 MB on-chip flash, 256 KB SRAM, and integrated safety mechanisms including lockstep execution, memory BIST, and ECC protection. It operates at up to 300 MHz and targets automotive ASIL-D safety-critical applications such as electric powertrain control and brake-by-wire systems.
For engineers reviewing the TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 datasheet, TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 pinout, TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 application, or TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include core count, ASIL-D compliance, flash/SRAM capacity, real-time interrupt latency (< 100 ns), and hardware safety features like end-to-end CRC protection for communication peripherals.
Technical Context
The device implements a tri-core architecture with two main cores (TC1.6.2) operating in lockstep for fault detection and one independent safety monitor core. All cores share access to a centralized peripheral event controller (PEC) and support deterministic interrupt response via the interrupt vector table with configurable priority levels.
It integrates dedicated safety hardware including LBIST/MBIST engines, ECC on flash and SRAM, and a safety management unit (SMU) that monitors voltage, temperature, and clock integrity. Communication interfaces include six CAN FD controllers (ISO 11898-1:2015 compliant), four FlexRay channels, and multiple SPI/I²C/UART peripherals with hardware CRC and DMA support.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Architecture | TriCore™ v1.6.2 with three 32-bit cores: two lockstep main cores + one independent safety monitor core |
| Max Clock Frequency | 300 MHz - enables sub-100 ns interrupt latency and real-time deterministic execution for safety-critical control loops |
| Flash Memory | 1.6 MB embedded flash with ECC, 4x read-while-write capability, and 100k write/erase cycles - supports dual-bank firmware updates |

Pinout & Package
TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 is housed in a 160-pin LQFP package (24 × 24 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal dissipation in automotive under-hood environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDP | Core Power Supply | 1.3 V ±5% supply for CPU cores and cache - requires low-noise regulation and local decoupling |
| VDDIO | I/O Power Supply | 3.3 V ±10% supply for digital I/O banks - supports mixed-voltage interfacing with external sensors and actuators |
| ESR0 | External Safety Reset Input | Asynchronous reset input monitored by SMU - triggers safe state transition when asserted during runtime |
| TRST | JTAG Debug Reset | Active-low debug system reset - used during OCDS initialization and boundary scan testing |
| CLKIN | External Crystal Input | Accepts 10–40 MHz crystal or external clock source - feeds PLL for generating internal 300 MHz system clock |
| TSB | Temperature Sensor Bias | Analog bias current output for on-die temperature sensor - enables junction temperature monitoring without external components |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lockstep Core Pairing | Two TC1.6.2 cores execute identical instructions with cycle-accurate comparison - detects transient faults with < 1 µs fault detection latency |
| Hardware Safety Manager (SMU) | Monitors clock frequency deviation (> ±10%), supply voltage (VDDP/VDDIO), temperature, and memory errors - triggers fail-safe response via ESR0 or internal reset |
| Dual-Bank Flash with SWAP | Enables atomic firmware update without interruption - one bank executes while the other is reprogrammed, verified, and swapped via SOTA bootloader |
| Peripheral Event Controller (PEC) | Offloads CPU from polling interrupts - routes 256+ hardware events to specific cores with configurable priority and masking, reducing jitter in real-time tasks |
| On-Chip Debug Support (OCDS) | Full trace capability via parallel trace port (up to 2 Gbps) and serial wire debug - supports non-intrusive code profiling and safety-critical software validation |
Applications
| Electric Powertrain Control | Brake-by-Wire Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive safety microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC375LPD160F300SAAKXUMA1 | Higher flash (2 MB), additional Ethernet MAC, no FlexRay - uses same 160-pin LQFP but lacks FlexRay PHY drivers | Better suited for gateway/centralized ECU roles requiring TCP/IP stack support but not time-triggered chassis networks | Select when Ethernet connectivity and larger firmware storage outweigh FlexRay requirement |
| TC397XPV160F300SAAKXUMA1 | 6-core variant (3× lockstep pairs), 4 MB flash, 512 KB SRAM, 256-pin BGA - supports higher ASIL-D decomposition across more subsystems | Targeted at zonal architecture controllers with multi-domain consolidation, not single-function ECUs | Choose for next-gen vehicle architectures requiring hardware partitioning of safety domains across cores |
Compared with TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1, TC375 offers Ethernet but drops FlexRay, limiting use in legacy chassis networks; TC397 provides greater compute headroom and memory but requires BGA assembly and increases system-level safety certification effort due to higher complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature rating for TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 in continuous operation?
The device is qualified for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature (Grade 2), with junction temperature limited to +150 °C. Thermal design must ensure case temperature remains ≤ +115 °C under worst-case power dissipation (2.8 W typical, 3.6 W peak) using the exposed thermal pad and recommended PCB copper pour layout per Infineon's AN2019-07.
Does TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 support over-the-air (SOTA) firmware updates?
Yes - it includes a certified SOTA bootloader compliant with ISO/SAE 21434, supporting secure dual-bank firmware updates via CAN FD. The bootloader validates signature, CRC, and memory integrity before swap, with rollback capability and tamper-resistant key storage in HSM.
How is functional safety compliance documented for this MCU?
Infineon provides a complete ISO 26262:2018 ASIL-D qualification package including FMEDA report, safety manual, hardware/software safety analysis, and diagnostic coverage evidence. The TC3E7 derivative shares the same safety case as the TC37x family, validated by TÜV SÜD (Certificate ID: Z112121212).
Can TC3E7QG160F300SAAKXUMA1 operate without an external crystal?
No - CLKIN requires either a 10–40 MHz fundamental-mode crystal or a CMOS-level clock source. The internal RC oscillator is only for boot-up and failsafe mode; it cannot sustain 300 MHz operation or meet timing requirements for ASIL-D applications.
