Flash microcontrollers for high temps

Infineon has announced availability of an 8-bit

embedded flash microcontroller (MCU) product family

that is qualified for operation of up to +140°C. The new

XC866 HOT microcontrollers exceed today’s maximum

temperature performance of +85°C for industrial

applications. Such high-temperature applications

include motor controls for heating and furnace systems,

and electronic controls embedded inside motor drives.

The microcontrollers are suitable for use in system

designs with high environmental or operating

temperatures that would typically require costly and

complex heat dissipation or cooling systems. XC866 HOT products can be applied

directly onto the application diminishing the need for elaborate cooling and thus

reducing overall system cost. www.infineon.com
