Project Description
Introduction
SMH Technologies is excited to announce full support for Infineon’s advanced TLD4020-3ET devices. These cutting-edge devices, powered by Arm® Cortex® M23 core architectures, are an integral part of Infineon’s renowned LITIX™ family. The TLD4020-3ET devices are designed as three-channel controllers with integrated, protected output stages, making them ideal for controlling RGB LEDs in a wide range of automotive and industrial applications. Their advanced design ensures robust performance, energy efficiency, and protection for connected components.
Dual protocol functionalities
One of the key features of these devices is their dual-protocol programming capabilities. With support for both LIN (Local Interconnect Network) and SWD (Serial Wire Debug) protocols, the TLD4020-3ET devices are fully compatible with FlashRunner technology, providing a streamlined and efficient flashing experience. FlashRunner ensures quick and reliable programming, allowing users to easily integrate and manage these devices in their projects.
Interfacing TLD4020-3ET with FlashRunner
Additionally, SMH Technologies offers a unique advantage by enabling the seamless switching of the two protocols during runtime. This means that users can access full microcontroller flashing functionality using either SWD or FastLIN protocols, all within the same project, without the need for manual reconfiguration or complex setups. While SWD provides faster programming speeds for the main Flash memory, FastLIN supports exclusive access to the 1000TP memory, which is crucial for certain operations. FastLIN is also the only protocol capable of locking the connection ports via FlashRunner, adding an extra layer of security and integrity during the flashing process.
For those seeking comprehensive guidance on how to connect and utilize TLD4020-3ET devices, SMH Technologies has created a dedicated Wiki page. This resource offers detailed instructions, step-by-step examples, and a full list of supported commands for both LIN and SWD protocols, ensuring users can quickly and efficiently integrate these devices into their projects.
Future
Looking ahead, SMH Technologies continues to collaborate closely with Infineon’s engineers, ensuring ongoing support for the next generation of devices in the LITIX™ family. This partnership guarantees that future releases will be fully compatible with SMH Technologies’ solutions, further enhancing innovation, usability, and compatibility for our users. We are committed to providing cutting-edge solutions and continuous updates to keep our customers ahead of the curve in their development processes.
