Infineon Provides Components For Microsoft Xbox 360 Game Console
Infineon announced that it will supply three components for the Microsoft Xbox 360 game console. Infineon will provide a removable solid-state memory unit product, a single-chip ASIC wireless gamepad controller, and an advanced security chip.
Xbox 360 consoles are expected to be on the shelves in the fourth quarter of this year.
Infineon is leveraging its IP in areas such as security, memory control and embedded firmware into ASIC-based system solutions for the Xbox 360. For the memory unit, the company designed an ASIC memory controller, created the embedded software that runs on the chip and designed the system printed circuit board. And the security chip is a custom implementation of Infineon’s proven authentication technology.
The chips were developed in Germany, Israel and Italy and will be manufactured in France.
