At the FAST 2024 conference, which took place from July 9th to 11th in Dresden, Germany, Infineon bestowed the "Best Automotive Demand Creation Distributor Award" upon Rutronik. This recognition highlights Rutronik's exceptional performance in promoting Infineon's products and solutions with a strong focus on design-in projects in the automotive industry in Europe. As a trusted partner for over two decades, Rutronik has played a significant role in advancing the adoption of Infineon's high-quality automotive business line. "Rutronik is deeply honored to receive the "Best Automotive Demand Creation Distributor Award" from Infineon at FAST 2024. Our longstanding partnership has been built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence," said Ralf Kern, Line Manager for Infineon at Rutronik.
Rutronik's dedication to providing value-added services, technical support, and customized solutions has solidified its position as a key player in the electronics distribution landscape. The award serves as a testament to the enduring partnership between Infineon and Rutronik, driving progress and shaping the future of mobility. "Rutronik is a trusted partner when it comes to consulting customers and providing field engineering know-how. Their dedication to design-in projects and pre-development support has been essential in our joint success,” said Ricardo Echevarria Exposito, Head of Distribution Marketing Automotive EMEA at Infineon. "Rutronik's technical expertise ensures seamless integration of Infineon's solutions into diverse applications. We value their contributions and look forward to continuing this dynamic collaboration.”
Infineon microcontrollers as key components of Rutronik System Solutions Base Boards
As part of the Rutronik Development Kit RDK4 by Rutronik System Solutions, the automotive microcontroller PSoCTM 4100S Max with a low-cost Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core and next-generation CAPSENSETM technology is the developer board's centerpiece. There is not only a microcontroller but also a system base chip on the board. The built-in OPTIREGTM Mid-Range+ system base chip from Infineon offers a high level of integration, performance, and scalability. With its voltage diagnostics and monitoring function, it supports a functional safety concept for motor control units, as required in automotive applications. Rutronik System Solutions also provides software examples; the Base Board - like the other Base Boards and Adapter Boards - is already integrated in Infineon's ModusToolboxTM development environment. In addition, developers benefit from the wide range of possible applications and the easy combination with other boards thanks to the Arduino interface.
The Rutronik Development Kit RDK4, featuring Infineon's microcontrollers, offers a comprehensive platform for rapid prototyping and product development for automotive motor control units. The applications for example include electric tailgate control, seat heating, and air conditioning.
