Technology Readiness Level
SeaSideTech supports you in the realization of your innovation project. Our field of expertise covers TRLs 2 to 8 described in the graph below, and in particular stages 3 to 6 which constitute our core business. As designers/developers, our job is to transform your idea into a qualified industrial product, ready to be deployed on your market, with an optimized time-to-market.
TRL 1
Basic principles observed and reported
Not covered by SeaSideTech, this level of research is generally carried out by official research laboratories
TRL 2
Concepts or applications of the technology formulated
Feasibility study, calculations and system architecture analysis
TRL 3
Analyzed and tested critical function or characteristic proof of concept
Proof of Concept, detailed architecture
TRL 4
Laboratory validation of the component or artefact
Implementation of the results of the previous steps in a first functional prototype (proto A / A+)
TRL 5
Validation in a meaningful environment of the component or artefact
Second prototyping and pre-series phase (Proto B/B+, pre-series)
TRL 6
Demonstration of the system/sub-system model or prototype in a meaningful environment
Pre-series integrated into the client system for system interfacing and qualification
TRL 7
Demonstration of the prototype system in an operational environment
Customer support, on-site debugging, joint testing session (on customer site)
TRL 8
Complete final system qualified through tests and demonstrations
Complete qualification campaign and delivery of associated documentation. Safety case finalized and delivered to client
TRL 9
Final system proven through successful operations/missions
Not covered By Seasidetech, the customer / OEM handles the evidence by operation / transaction

Infineon Preferred Design House
(PDH)
Automotive industry is changing. Fast.
Since the late 1990s, embedded electronics have steadily taken over an increasing number of functions in vehicles, progressively adding key passenger security and comfort features. Driving has shifted from a practical means of getting from one place to another to a full “user experience”. The rise of Electric Vehicles and Autonomous Driving features and solutions reinforces the key role embedded electronics have acquired in the past few years, and this trend seems to be stronger every day.
When starting an embedded electronics development project, selecting the chip that will handle the processing is a key step to reaching a successful outcome and ensuring that your design will deliver the expected functions reliably. Functional Safety considerations add a layer of complexity to the selection of the microcontroller, as they will have significant impact on the global architecture (hardware and software).
Infineon Technologies is a world leader in semiconductor solutions and has developed a wide variety of tools and solutions specifically for automotive applications. The 32-bit AURIX™ TriCore Microcontroller is a powerful family uniting the elements of a RISC processor core, a microcontroller and a DSP in one single MCU. Their architecture ideally suits Functional Safety features thanks to their TriCore architecture allowing a wide range of configurations to meet safety-critical mission profiles. This Range of MCUs fulfill the requirements of the most demanding embedded control applications with performance, real-time behavior, data bandwidth and power consumption performances optimized to meet the needs of a highly demanding industry.
As an expert in Functional Safety Embedded Electronics, SeaSideTech has been using products from the AURIX™ family for years and developed a significant expertise in their deployment in embedded electronics solutions. We are very proud of having been appointed Preferred Design House for this product family, and are always eager to provide advice, support and technical assistance to engineers looking to implement these products in their system. This means you can approach us concerning the challenges you might come across during your AURIX™ project and will be greeted with an enthusiastic support to help make your development project a successful one.
