IAR Expands Support for TMC THA6 Gen2 Series Automotive MCUs
IAR has announced its support for the THA6 Gen2 series automotive-grade MCUs from Tongxin Microelectronics. This collaboration, achieved through the latest release of IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm v9.60.3, enables developers to meet next-generation automotive electronics’ high-performance and functional safety demands.
The TMC THA6 Gen2 series is the first Arm Cortex-R52+ ASIL D MCU in China. Operating at a frequency of 400 MHz, it is built on the modern Armv8 architecture, offering both performance and scalability. Additionally, it integrates the latest GTM 4.1 (Generic Timer Module), supports high-resolution PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), and complies with EVITA-Full, a standard for automotive cybersecurity ensuring secure communication and encryption. Featuring a built-in hardware RDC (Resolver-to-Digital Converter) module, the chip supports both software and hardware decoding of resolver signals, which are critical for motor position sensing. This combination provides a reliable foundation for E/E architectures (Electrical/Electronic architectures), addressing the demands of applications such as powertrain, chassis, body systems, and intelligent driving.
