Altium's TASKING brand first to support all Infineon microcontrollers

Altium Limited (ASX: ALU), announced that it is the first and only compiler vendor to support all microcontrollers from Infineon Technology. Altium has introduced support in the TASKING development toolsets for four new microcontrollers from Infineon Technologies, the 8-bit C868, the 16-bit XC161 and XC164, and 32-bit TC1765. The support includes the availability of Special Function Register files, debugger connectivity to evaluation boards, and quick-and-easy selection and configuration of the new devices from within the development suites.

Infineon Technologies will announce its new high performance microcontrollers - which are targeted at industrial and automotive market segments - at the Embedded Systems Show 2002 in Nuremberg. The C868 is Infineon's latest addition to the popular and still growing C500/8051 microcontroller market. The XC161 and XC164 are the new feature-loaded microcontrollers in the C166 family, and are based on the C166S V2 core. The new TriCore TC1765 is a powerful and cost-effective extension of Infineon's TriCore microcontroller line.
