XMC stands for "cross-market microcontrollers", meaning that this family can cover due to compatibility and configuration options, a wide range in industrial applications.
[2] This microcontroller family uses the Cortex-M4 processor core with DSP function which is represented in numerous applications.
Target applications in the industrial sector and multi-market can be: Actuators, solar inverters, manufacturing and building-automation, renewable energy and transportation.
The XMC4000 family is specifically designed for the industrial sector and positioned in the Infineon microcontroller portfolio between the 16 - bit and 32-bit MCU technology.
The focus is on target areas such as logistics, transportation, renewable energy, building control, and automation.
The goal is to reduce energy consumptions in controls of motors, solar inverters, SMPS I/O devices, without burdening this performance.
The Human Interface Board also (HMI), in addition to the OLED display plus audio, a touch and SD / MMC function.
The board contains the XMC4500 microcontroller (XMC4500-F100F1024 AA, Package: PG-LQFP-100), an ARM Cortex-M4F CPU running at 120 MHz, 1 MB Flash and 160 kB RAM.
DAVE includes a GNU - compiler, a Debugger, and a visualization utility for graphic presentation of data.
Following development tool vendors support the XMC4000 family: The amount of documentation for all ARM chips is daunting, especially for newcomers.
