The development of a microcontroller is a complex task that requires many people involved working on different modules and phases of the process. Simulators are getting closer to reality and are also primarily used by Infineon to check such a device. However, there are still features that can only be validated using the actual silicon component. In addition, the automotive industry uses such devices to perform the most critical functionalities inside a vehicle, such as airbags, bumpers, and brake systems, requiring a rigorous safety protocol to confirm that the system is robust assertive.
The mission of this internship is to compose the Validation team for the most critical event at the MC VAL team: the release of the new family of Infineon's microcontrollers AURIX 3rd generation. I worked on the Power Management System group, mainly coding the automation algorithm for the test sequences. Other tasks were performed as well, all of them related to the validation process. |
