In the ever-evolving world of embedded systems, Infineon Technologies continues to support developers with sophisticated microcontroller solutions. The microcontroller families such as AURIX, TRAVEO T2G, and PSOC Automotive, offer high performance, flexibility, and ease of use and are designed for a wide range of applications. To further support developers, Infineon introduces new affordable development kits and free integrated development environments (IDEs), supported by comprehensive software tools, tutorials, and an extensive ecosystem.
Infineon’s development kits, including the AURIX TC375 Lite, TRAVEO Lite, and PSOC HV MS kits, are designed to meet the requirements of modern embedded systems. Thanks to their affordable price, they are equally accessible to hobbyists, start-ups, and large companies. Free IDEs such as AURIX Development Studio and ModusToolbox™ enable developers to focus on implementing their ideas instead of dealing with license costs, whether for automotive, industrial, or consumer applications. Additionally, Infineon’s extensive ecosystem provides numerous resources, including tutorials, application notes, code examples, and community forums, providing developers with a platform to share knowledge and get support.
