Automotive-Grade Memory Certified for MediaTek Platform
Infineon Technologies and MediaTek have jointly announced that Infineon’s 512Mb automotive-grade Quad SPI NOR Flash memory has completed certification on MediaTek’s Dimensity Auto Cockpit C-X1 platform. This certification marks a significant advancement in smart cockpit memory solutions, offering automakers, Tier-1 suppliers, and developers a validated high-capacity memory option to meet the demands of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) for large-capacity storage and high-performance computing.
Infineon’s 512Mb NOR Flash memory utilizes MirrorBit technology, supports operating temperatures up to 125°C, and has achieved AEC-Q100 automotive-grade certification, ensuring stable operation in extreme environments. The product features functional safety and encrypted boot capabilities, effectively preventing malicious system intrusions while providing critical redundancy to enhance overall security. The memory is primarily used to store firmware and boot code, supporting AI-driven functions on MediaTek’s C-X1 platform, including voice assistants, driver monitoring, vlog generation, environmental sensing, and personalized audio-visual recommendations.
High-Capacity Memory as a Key Enabler for Software-Defined Vehicles
Rainer Hoehler, Senior Vice President of Infineon’s Memory Solutions Division, stated that software-defined vehicles rely on high-performance system-on-chips (SoCs), complex firmware, and large-capacity storage. The proliferation of digital cockpits and over-the-air (OTA) software updates is driving continuous growth in demand for higher-capacity NOR Flash memory. He noted that this certification will streamline the adoption process for automakers and suppliers, providing a more reliable memory foundation for smart cockpits.
