S32K3 Automotive MCUs
NXP’s Cortex® M7 automotive MCUs expand S32 into zone control and edge nodes while reducing software cost and complexity
NXP's S32K3 family of 32-bit, AEC-Q100-qualified MCUs combine a scalable family of Arm Cortex®-M7-based microcontrollers in single, dual, and lockstep core configurations supporting up to ASIL D functional safety for automotive and industrial applications. S32K3 MCUs feature a hardware security engine (HSE) with NXP firmware as well as support for firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates and free ISO 26262-compliant real-time drivers (RTD) for AUTOSAR® and non-AUTOSAR.
S32K3 MCUs are available in NXP's MaxQFP package which reduces the package footprint by up to 55% when compared to the standard QFP package.
