New NXP MCUs aid SDV zonal and electrification architecture development

Launched at Embedded World today, the S32K5 MCU family extends the NXP CoreRide platform and combines leading-edge core performance with embedded MRAM memory to enable ECU consolidation with a focus on latency or efficiency to help automakers shift to software-defined vehicles.
At Embedded World today in Nuremberg, Germany, NXP Semiconductors unveiled its new S32K5 family of automotive microcontrollers (MCUs). The automotive industry’s first 16-nm FinFET MCU with embedded magnetic RAM (MRAM) will extend the NXP CoreRide platform with pre-integrated zonal and electrification system solutions for scalable software-defined vehicle (SDV) architectures.
NXP says that automakers are embracing zonal architectures with diverse approaches to the distribution and integration of ECU (electronic control unit) functions. The foundation of these zonal solutions is a next-generation MCU architecture that combines real-time performance with low-latency deterministic communication, and innovative isolation features.
“The new S32K5 family pushes the boundaries of MCU performance without sacrificing the safety, efficiency, and isolation that are essential for zonal solutions,” said Manuel Alves, SVP and GM for Automotive Microcontrollers at NXP.
