XMC1000 overview

The XMC™ microcontroller family is based on Arm® Cortex®-M cores. It is dedicated to applications in the segments of power conversion, factory and building automation, transportation and home appliances. XMC1000 brings together the Arm® Cortex®-M0 core and market-proven and differentiating peripherals in a leading-edge 65 nm manufacturing process. It serves to bring traditional 8-bit designs to the next level, addressing a broad application spectrum from typical 8-bit applications up to digital power conversion, lighting, and motor control.

Key features​

  • Arm® Cortex®-M0 core, up to 48 MHz and 80 CoreMark
  • Control peripherals like PWM timers run on up to 96 MHz
  • The MATH co-processor boosts standard Cortex®-M0 computing performance enabling divisions and trigonometric operations like SIN and COS
  • The BCCU eases digital LED dimming and color control applications
  • 30ns comparators enable AC-DC and low voltage DC-DC SMPS control e.g. up to 4 channel buck converters
  • The ERU is a programmable hardware interconnect matrix that provides on-chip connectivity for real-time control and offloads the CPU
  • The CCU PWM-timers feature rich and application oriented configurability like for motor control, SMPS or combustion engine control
  • Hall sensors and optical encoders can be connected to POSIF, a position interface for motor position control
  • With a 1Msps 12-bit ADC, XMC1000 microcontrollers are outstanding in their price / performance class
  • MultiCAN provides connectivity with 2 nodes and 32 message objects

XMC1000 family sub-categories​

  • XMC1100 - XMC1100 serves for a broad range of price sensitive applications however demanding state of the art functionality. The XMC1100 series devices are designed for general purpose applications.
  • XMC1200 - XMC1200 is equipped with smart application oriented features. The XMC1200 series devices are optimized for LED Lighting applications and Human-Machine interface (HMI).
  • XMC1300 - XMC1300 focuses on low-cost embedded control applications. XMC1300 family can integrate all the control and analog interface functions required for sensor less Field Oriented Control (FOC), brushless (BLDC), brushed DC and PMSM motors.
  • XMC1400 - XMC1400 series devices are optimized for motor control, power conversion and LED Lighting applications and Human-Machine Interface (HMI). The performance of XMC1400 will be increased with 70% over existing XMC1000 due to the 48 MHz of the core frequency and the 2 CAN nodes interfaces.
  • XMC-SC - The XMC™ wireless power controller helps the next-generation wireless charging systems meet strict safety, environmental and regulatory requirements, while still enabling industry-leading charging performance and efficiency. This controller works seamlessly with Infineon's power devices in a scalable architecture to provide a complete charging solution for everything from a fast charge smartphone, to a 20 W robot, to a 60 W drone and beyond, to 80 W power tool applications.
