The XC2300E series is the high-performance extension of the XC2300 microcontroller family focussing on Safety applications. The integrated instruction cache (iCache) offers a strong performance boost of up to 30%. In addition the frequancy increase of up to 128MHz brings further performance improvements. The new devices of this series, equipped with up to 1MB embedded Flash and optional FlexRay are geared towards automotive Safety applications, like high-end Airbag, Electric Power-Steering (EPS) or Braking, requiring a higher range of performance or the potential for future performance improvements.
