What an embarrassing moment for Infineon. IME their products tend to be very nicely engineered... and onerously documented, but that's probably a good thing if you're NASA. This, though, is concerning. With companies like Infineon, Analog, ST, etc. you're literally buying black boxes and an unenforceable promise that those black boxes will behave the way the datasheet says. This is a pretty egregious breach of trust, and Infineone really must do better to uphold their image.


Does this seem like a one-off mistake or is this a systemic problem that is likely to strike again?


Hard to say. I sure hope it's a one-off blunder.
