innovative designs. This line of products encompasses
a broad product portfolio that includes application and
evaluation boards, Arduino compatible shields,
and 2GO kits.
Infineon shields for Arduino
Infineon started offering shields for the widely popular
and immensely flexible and easy-to-use Arduino platform
in 2015. These shields are designed and built with the
Arduino UNO form-factor in mind to ensure that no further
configuration or assembly is required. All these shields
interface seamlessly with most standard Arduino boards
and components, and many of Infineon’s microcontroller
boards are also compatible with the Arduino IDE, which
allows developers to get started quickly and build
prototypes.

All products in the Shield2Go catalog are equipped with at
least one Infineon IC, and they all come with a ready-to-use
Arduino (and sometimes Raspberry Pi) library. All devices in
the Shield2Go portfolio follow a standardized form-factor
and they share the same pin-layout. Besides that, they can
be stacked and connected without soldering. Developers
are free to combine the various Shield2Go boards and
third-party boards to form a complex prototype that exactly
