Infineon launches the PSoC Control C3 high-performance product family, setting new benchmarks for real-time control and post-quantum cryptographic security

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) recently announced the launch of the PSOC Control C3 high-performance microcontroller series, designed to enable real-time control for power and motor applications. This new MCU series delivers industry-leading system performance thanks to its high control loop frequency, high precision and system efficiency. The PSoC Control C3 high-performance MCU series is based on the Arm Cortex-M33 multi-core architecture and is designed to meet the demands of precise, high-speed control in power conversion. It is suitable for applications such as AI data centre server power supplies, photovoltaics, switching power supplies, electric vehicle charging and high-end motor control.

Infineon’s PSoC Control C3 high-performance product family combines high-performance real-time control with post-quantum support to empower the next generation of power and motor control applications.

This series of MCUs meets the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) requirements for firmware protection set out in the CNSA Suite 2.0, and also complies with the PSA Level 3 standard. Backed by these dual standards, Infineon’s high-performance PSoC Control C3 product line can address the security needs of a wide range of industrial applications, helping them enhance their security capabilities and make a smooth transition to the post-quantum cryptography era.

Steve Tateosian, Senior Vice President and General Manager of IoT, Consumer and Industrial MCUs at Infineon Technologies, stated: “This series is specifically designed for digital control applications requiring higher switching frequencies, balancing precision, security features and maximised system efficiency. In the fields of power conversion and motor control, the industry is transitioning from analogue to digital control, whilst the world is also preparing for the post-quantum cryptography era. The PSoC Control C3 high-performance product line meets market demands for higher performance, system flexibility, security and scalability without increasing device size.”

Infineon’s PSoC Control C3 high-performance product family combines high-performance real-time control with post-quantum support to empower the next generation of power and motor control applications.
