Infineon XMC5000 microcontroller series available at Rutronik: High-performance dual-core MCUs for motor control, power conversion and industrial applications

04/09/2026 Product News

With the XMC5000 microcontroller series from Infineon, Rutronik offers a powerful and scalable solution for industrial control and drive systems. The series combines a dual-core architecture, high processing performance and extensive peripherals, making it particularly suitable for motor control, power conversion and industrial applications. The modules and the accompanying evaluation kit are available at www.rutronik24.com.

The XMC5000 series is based on a high-performance dual-core architecture featuring an Arm® Cortex®-M4F core with up to 160 MHz and an additional Cortex®-M0+ core dedicated to security and cryptographic tasks. This architecture enables efficient separation of control, communication and safety functions within a single system.

The series is structured into three scalable families – XMC5100, XMC5200 and XMC5300 – allowing developers to select the optimal performance level for their application: 

The XMC5100 series targets cost-sensitive and moderately demanding applications. It offers an 80 MHz Cortex®-M4F core, up to 576 KB Flash and 64 KB SRAM, as well as a solid peripheral set including up to 4 CAN FD interfaces and multiple ADC channels. This makes it suitable for basic motor control and general industrial control tasks.

The XMC5200 series significantly increases system performance with a 160 MHz Cortex®-M4F core and expanded memory of up to 1088 KB Flash and 128 KB SRAM. It also provides enhanced peripheral capabilities, including up to 6 CAN FD interfaces and a higher number of timer and ADC channels. This positions it for more complex control systems and multi-axis motor control applications.

At the top end, the XMC5300 series delivers maximum performance and integration density. With up to 2 MB Flash and 256 KB SRAM, as well as the most extensive peripheral configuration – including up to 8 CAN FD interfaces and advanced timer resources – it is designed for highly integrated systems and demanding real-time control applications.

Across all series, the MCUs integrate a wide range of peripherals, including flexible communication interfaces (SPI, I²C and UART), multiple SAR ADC units and advanced PWM/timer modules for precise motor control.

A key differentiating feature of the XMC5000 series is its ability to support dual motor control and power factor correction (PFC) within a single microcontroller. This reduces system complexity and cost while enabling higher efficiency and integration.

The devices support an extended supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V and operate across a temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C, making them suitable for harsh industrial environments. Additional features such as low-power modes, integrated safety functions and support for Class B and SIL 2 standards contribute to high system reliability.
