Product details
Overview
FS32K118LAT0MLFR from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-grade Arm® Cortex-M0+ microcontroller designed for safety-critical body electronics and powertrain control. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, supports -40 °C to 125 °C ambient temperature (M-grade), delivers up to 48 MHz CPU frequency, integrates 128 KB flash with ECC, and features CSEc security engine - deployed in electronic control units requiring ASIL-B compliance.
For engineers reviewing the FS32K118LAT0MLFR datasheet, FS32K118LAT0MLFR pinout, FS32K118LAT0MLFR application, or FS32K118LAT0MLFR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated package mapping, confirmed memory architecture, real-world timing constraints (HSRUN/RUN mode switching for EEPROM/CSEc), and precise alternative selection guidance for automotive ECU design.
Technical Context
The FS32K118LAT0MLFR implements a single-core Arm Cortex-M0+ processor without FPU, operating at up to 48 MHz in RUN mode and not supporting HSRUN mode (unlike M4F variants). It uses NXP's system-level MPU for memory protection across AXBS-Lite crossbar masters, and relies on dedicated low-power peripherals including LPUART, LPSPI, LPI2C, and FlexCAN (1 channel, CAN-FD capable).
Its memory subsystem includes 128 KB program flash with ECC, 2 KB FlexNVM for EEPROM emulation, 25 KB SRAM (including FlexRAM), and 2 KB cache. Power management supports five modes (RUN, STOP, VLPR, VLPS, HSRUN disabled), with CSEc and EEPROM operations restricted to RUN mode only - a hard architectural constraint confirmed in S32K1xx Rev. 15 datasheet Section 1.1 and Figure 3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm Cortex-M0+, no FPU, fixed 48 MHz max - eliminates floating-point overhead and simplifies ASIL-B functional safety certification. |
| Flash Memory | 128 KB program flash with ECC - ensures bit-error resilience in automotive environments with extended temperature cycling. |
| Data Storage | 2 KB FlexNVM + 2 KB FlexRAM for EEPROM emulation - enables wear-leveling and nonvolatile parameter storage without external EEPROM. |
| Operating Temp | -40 °C to +125 °C (M-grade) - qualified for under-hood ECU placement where junction temperature reaches 135 °C in RUN mode. |
| Security | Cryptographic Services Engine (CSEc) - provides AES-128, SHA-256, RNG, and secure boot; requires RUN mode (80 MHz not supported; only 48 MHz active). |
| Peripherals | 1x FlexCAN (CAN-FD), 3x LPUART, 3x LPSPI, 2x LPI2C, 1x 12-bit ADC (32-channel), 1x CMP+8-bit DAC - optimized for distributed sensor/actuator communication in body control modules. |
| Power Modes | RUN, STOP, VLPR, VLPS - no HSRUN mode support; CSEc/EEPROM writes prohibited in VLPR - enforces deterministic low-power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
FS32K118LAT0MLFR is packaged in a 48-pin LQFP (Lead-Free, RoHS-compliant) with 0.5 mm pitch and exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are defined per S32K11x IO Signal Description multiplexing tables; all GPIOs support interrupt capability and configurable pull-up/down.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VDDA, VREFH | Analog & digital supply rails | Must be shorted on PCB with local decoupling; VDDA/VREFH ≤ VDD + 0.1 V ensures ADC accuracy within spec. |
| RESET_B | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous, level-sensitive; internal pull-up ensures safe startup if left unconnected during debug. |
| SWD_CLK / SWD_IO | Serial Wire Debug interface | Two-pin debug port supporting full JTAG/SWD functionality - enables production programming and runtime trace via NXP S32DS. |
| CAN0_TX / CAN0_RX | FlexCAN differential bus interface | Direct connection to ISO 11898-1 transceiver; supports CAN FD data rates up to 5 Mbps with flexible bit timing. |
| ADC0_SE0–ADC0_SE31 | Analog input channels | 32 dedicated pins mapped to 12-bit SAR ADC; supports hardware-triggered conversions via PDB or LPIT for deterministic sampling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ASIL-B Ready Architecture | System MPU, ECC on flash/SRAM, CRC module, dual watchdog (WDOG + EWM), and lockstep-capable peripherals enable ISO 26262-compliant safety mechanisms. |
| Low-Power Peripheral Set | LPUART/LPSPI/LPI2C retain full DMA support and wake-from-STOP capability - reduces system wake latency to < 4 µs in body control sleep states. |
| CSEc Security Engine | Hardware-accelerated AES-128/SHA-256/RNG with key vault; requires explicit mode switch from VLPR/RUN to execute - prevents concurrent high-speed execution and crypto ops. |
| FlexRAM Configuration | 2 KB on-chip RAM usable as SRAM or EEPROM emulation - eliminates external serial EEPROM, reducing BOM count and board area in cost-sensitive ECUs. |
| Robust Clock System | FIRC (48 MHz), SIRC (8 MHz), LPO (128 kHz), and SOSC (4–40 MHz) with failover and trimming - ensures reliable clocking across battery voltage sag and thermal drift. |

FAQ
Does FS32K118LAT0MLFR support HSRUN mode?
No, FS32K118LAT0MLFR does not support HSRUN mode. As confirmed in the S32K1xx Rev. 15 datasheet Feature Comparison (Figure 3), only S32K14x devices with M4F cores support 112 MHz HSRUN operation. The FS32K118LAT0MLFR uses an Arm Cortex-M0+ core rated for up to 48 MHz in RUN mode only - a fixed architectural limitation affecting both performance ceiling and CSEc/EEPROM execution constraints.
What is the maximum ambient temperature rating for FS32K118LAT0MLFR?
The FS32K118LAT0MLFR is M-grade qualified for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature operation. Per Table 5 in the S32K1xx datasheet, this rating applies in RUN mode with junction temperature limited to 135 °C - enabling deployment in under-dash or near-engine locations where thermal stress exceeds standard automotive grades.
Can CSEc security functions be executed in VLPR mode on FS32K118LAT0MLFR?
No. CSEc operations (AES, SHA, secure boot) are explicitly prohibited in VLPR mode on FS32K118LAT0MLFR, as stated in the S32K1xx datasheet Section 1.1 and Feature Comparison footnote 1. Execution requires RUN mode only - and even then, only at 48 MHz. Attempting CSEc in VLPR triggers error flags and halts secure operation until mode transition completes.
How much SRAM is available on FS32K118LAT0MLFR?
The FS32K118LAT0MLFR provides 25 KB of total on-chip SRAM, comprising dedicated system RAM and configurable FlexRAM. Of this, 2 KB FlexRAM can be allocated as general-purpose SRAM or EEPROM emulation memory - a key differentiator from lower-tier S32K116 that lacks FlexRAM configurability and has only 64 KB total SRAM.
Is FS32K118LAT0MLFR pin-compatible with other S32K1xx devices in 48-pin LQFP?
Yes, FS32K118LAT0MLFR is pin-to-pin compatible with all S32K1xx devices offered in the 48-pin LQFP package, including S32K116LAT0MLFR and S32K142WAT0MLFR (48-pin variant). Per Figure 3 and Section 3.1 of the S32K1xx datasheet, shared packages guarantee identical pinouts - enabling hardware reuse across performance tiers, provided peripheral enablement and software configuration align with target device capabilities.
