The age of simple MCUs has given way to much more complex low-cost devices.
More devices are being connected to the internet and to each other, transforming what used to be a simple microprocessor with fixed memory and limited connectivity into a much more complex and versatile device. These new MCUs need more compute power, more memory both on and off-chip, and on-the-fly encryption/decryption. Sivaram Trikutam, vice president of the Wi-Fi product line at Infineon, talks about the proliferation of “connected controllers,” capable of running a full network stack, and where one size no longer fits all.
