Automotive platform extended for new software-defined vehicles
Summary
NXP Semiconductors NV has released two new processor families that expand the benefits of its innovative S32 automotive platform with safe, high-performance real-time processing. To design real-time processors with the performance and deterministic behaviours needed for the next generation of software-defined vehicles demands deep collaboration over the automotive ecosystem. "The S32Z and S32E processors offer a performance increase of a factor of 2 compared to embedded NVM MCUs, key integration platform features and scalable memory with LPDDR4 DRAM and flash. The S32E processors add smart actuation capabilities, particularly advanced timers, high-resolution ADCs and 5V analog and I/Os, for xEV integration applications with direct-drive motor control. "We offer our customers a scalable, compatible real-time roadmap that extends to 5nm technology to design the consolidated and software-defined vehicles of the future."
