PSOC™ Control C3 Microcontrollers

The PSOC Control family of microcontrollers from Infineon are the next generation of MCUs developed specifically for motor control and power conversion applications. This high-performance Arm® Cortex®-M33 microcontroller family enables designers to deliver the market innovations customers expect from their next-generation devices.

The PSOC Control C3 enables real-time control of motor and power conversion systems that need to respond to real-time events with minimal delay and low utilization. It uses fast analog and digital peripherals to support wide-bandgap (WBG) systems and has integrated features to reduce system BOM costs. The PSOC Control C3 MCUs are PSA Certified™ Level 2 for advanced security and safety and come with ready-to-use code examples and development tools supported in the ModusToolbox™ software suite. This latest family of microcontrollers will increase performance and efficiency for next-generation products.

Advanced features of the PSOC Control microcontroller include the high-performance ADC and an integrated coordinate rotation digital computer (CORDIC) accelerator. With true synchronous idle sampling of up to 16 analog signals from the single-core ADC, up to 25% faster results are possible without any sampling jitter. The CORDIC accelerator can off-load CPU and increase computational power for real-time critical tasks such as field-oriented motor control algorithms. In addition, the programmable timer/counter pulse-width modulator (TCPWM) has a motion interface (MOTIF) block that can be used to communicate motor control signals. This unique combination of power and performance will bring the next generation of industrial solutions to market.

To enable a variety of applications with optimized solutions, Infineon offers multiple PSOC Control C3 product lines to enable motor control and power conversion applications.

PSOC Control C3 Entry Line - Baseline Arm Cortex‑M33 MCU family (up to 100 MHz) optimized for cost‑efficient motor control, providing essential real‑time control, 6 Msps ADCs and a CORDIC co‑processor for mainstream industrial and consumer applications.

PSOC Control C3 Main Line - Mid‑tier Arm Cortex‑M33 MCU family (up to 180 MHz) with enhanced 12 Msps ADCs and CORDIC, targeting more demanding motor control and combined motor/power‑conversion designs while remaining pin‑ and software‑compatible across the C3 portfolio.

PSOC Control C3 Performance Line - High‑end family combining a 180 MHz Arm Cortex‑M33 with one or two 200 MHz programmable power control accelerators (PPCA), 25 Msps ADCs, advanced PWMs and up to PSA L3/PQC‑ready security for real‑time digital power conversion and motor systems.
