TRAVEO™ T2G for Cluster
TRAVEO™ T2G instrument cluster: high display resolution, top performance, and multiple displays with dynamic content while using less power and memory
Infineon's TRAVEO™ T2G microcontroller family for automotive instrument clusters features a new graphics architecture that enables a more robust and feature-rich graphics engine for display systems in automotive infotainment. These MCUs offer the most extensive scalability, covering conventional gauge instrument clusters as well as hybrid and virtual instrument clusters. Fueling this innovation is the formidable TRAVEO™ T2G cluster MCU family, fortified by up to two Arm® Cortex®-M7 cores clocked at up to 320 MHz. This configuration enables the attainment of ASIL-B/SIL-2 safety performance, setting a new industry standard. With memory capacities of up to 6 MB flash and 4 MB VRAM, the microcontrollers are equipped with an EVITA high-level HSM, fortifying security through hardware encryption accelerators and an enhanced Arm® Cortex®-M0+ dedicated hardware protection mechanism. Package options span from the versatile 327-pin BGA to the compact 216-pin TEQFP. The TRAVEO™ T2G MCUs feature a variety of embedded peripherals, including CAN-FD, LIN, Gigabit Ethernet, CXPI, a JPEG decoder, video input/output, and two serial memory interfaces (SPI/xSPI) for a comprehensive and robust solution.

Graphic and cluster capabilities
Distinguishing itself from the convention, the graphics engine within these MCUs brings forth a remarkable reduction of 3-5 times the memory consumption for graphics processing. This optimization leads to a notable reduction in power consumption and overall costs. Bolstered by a sophisticated 2.5D graphics engine, TRAVEO™ T2G graphic microcontrollers effortlessly support fully immersive virtual instrument clusters with an impressive resolution of up to 1920 x 1080. Moreover, engineering samples of the new T2G-C series MCUs have already debuted, featuring an LPDDR4 interface and the capability to display intricate 3D scenes. This empowers designers with newfound freedom to craft state-of-the-art human-machine interfaces (HMIs) that captivate and engage users.
