Product details
Overview
FS32K118LFT0VLHT from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-grade Arm® Cortex-M0+ microcontroller designed for safety-critical body electronics and powertrain control. It operates at up to 48 MHz, supports -40 °C to 105 °C ambient temperature, features 128 KB flash with ECC, 25 KB SRAM (including FlexRAM), and integrates CSEc security engine and 12-bit ADC with 32-channel input capability.
For engineers reviewing the FS32K118LFT0VLHT datasheet, FS32K118LFT0VLHT pinout, FS32K118LFT0VLHT application, or FS32K118LFT0VLHT equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases in automotive subsystems, and two validated alternative parts with functional and thermal distinctions.
Technical Context
The FS32K118LFT0VLHT implements a single-core Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU without FPU, operating at 48 MHz in RUN mode with support for HSRUN mode disabled (as confirmed by S32K11x feature comparison). Its memory subsystem includes 128 KB program flash with ECC, 25 KB total RAM (4 KB FlexRAM + 21 KB SRAM), and no FlexNVM or EEPROM emulation - consistent with K118 base configuration.
It integrates one 12-bit ADC (1 Msps, up to 32 channels), one LPUART/LIN, one LPSPI, one LPI2C, one FlexCAN (CAN-FD capable), one FlexTimer (16-bit, 8 channels), one LPIT (4 channels), and CSEc security engine. All peripherals are accessible via 48-pin LQFP package with 43 GPIOs and full SWD debug support.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
FS32K118LFT0VLHT is housed in a 48-pin LQFP package (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and moisture-sensitive level 3. Pin assignments follow NXP's standardized S32K11x 48-pin LQFP layout with dedicated VDD/VSS pairs, JTAG/SWD debug pins, and configurable GPIOs supporting interrupt, DMA, and peripheral multiplexing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VDDA, VREFH | Power supply inputs | Separate digital/analog supplies ensure noise isolation; VREFH must be ≤ VDDA + 0.1 V for ADC accuracy. |
| PTA0–PTA31, PTB0–PTB10 | GPIO banks | 43 total GPIOs with interrupt, DMA trigger, and peripheral function multiplexing (e.g., LPUART0_RX/TX, LPSPI0_SCK/PCS). |
| SWD_DIO, SWD_CLK | Debug interface | Two-pin Serial Wire Debug port enables non-intrusive programming, real-time trace, and secure firmware update. |
| CAN0_TX, CAN0_RX | FlexCAN signal pair | Differential CAN-FD transceiver interface compliant with ISO 11898-1; requires external CAN transceiver for physical layer. |
| ADC0_SE0–ADC0_SE31 | Analog inputs | 32 dedicated ADC channel inputs mapped across GPIO pins; supports simultaneous sampling via hardware triggers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ASIL-B Ready Architecture | Integrated System MPU, ECC on flash/SRAM, CRC module, and dual watchdog (WDOG + EWM) enable ISO 26262-compliant system design. |
| Low-Power Operation | Five power modes (RUN, STOP, VLPR, VLPS, HSRUN) with clock gating - achieves sub-μA stop current and fast wake-up (< 5 μs from VLPS). |
| Hardware Security | CSEc engine supports AES-128 encryption, SHA-256 hashing, and secure boot with immutable root-of-trust - prevents firmware cloning and unauthorized access. |
| Automotive Communication Suite | Single FlexCAN (CAN-FD), LPUART/LIN, LPSPI, and LPI2C - covers all major in-vehicle bus protocols with low-power operation and DMA offload. |
| Robust Analog Front-End | 12-bit ADC with 32-channel input, programmable gain amplifier (PGA) support, and hardware-triggered conversions - eliminates need for external signal conditioning in sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FS32K116LFT0VLHT | 64 KB flash, 16 KB SRAM, no CSEc - smaller memory and no hardware security engine. | Limited to cost-sensitive, non-security applications like basic lighting control or simple sensor nodes. | Select when firmware size < 64 KB and cryptographic operations are handled externally or omitted. |
| FS32K142LFT0VLHT | 256 KB flash, 512 KB SRAM, Arm Cortex-M4F core @ 80 MHz, dual FlexCAN, Ethernet MAC - higher performance and expanded peripheral set. | Suitable for advanced ADAS gateways or domain controllers requiring real-time processing and network connectivity. | Choose when migrating from K118 to higher compute density, CAN redundancy, or IEEE-1588 time synchronization is required. |
Compared with FS32K116LFT0VLHT, the FS32K118LFT0VLHT adds CSEc and doubles flash/RAM capacity for secure firmware and complex state machines; versus FS32K142LFT0VLHT, it trades M4F performance and dual CAN for lower cost and power - ideal for entry-level automotive ECUs where ASIL-B compliance and CAN-FD are mandatory but Ethernet is not.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the FS32K118LFT0VLHT?
The FS32K118LFT0VLHT operates at a maximum frequency of 48 MHz in RUN mode. Unlike higher-tier S32K14x devices, it does not support HSRUN mode (112 MHz) - its Arm Cortex-M0+ core is optimized for deterministic low-power control rather than peak throughput. This frequency is fully supported across its -40 °C to +105 °C operating range and aligns with AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements.
Does the FS32K118LFT0VLHT include hardware security features?
Yes, the FS32K118LFT0VLHT integrates the Cryptographic Services Engine (CSEc), which provides hardware-accelerated AES-128 encryption/decryption, SHA-256 hashing, and secure key storage. It supports secure boot with immutable root-of-trust and is certified for automotive security standards. CSEc operation requires switching from HSRUN (not applicable here) to RUN mode - but since FS32K118LFT0VLHT runs only at 48 MHz, CSEc executes directly in its native RUN mode without mode transition overhead.
What package type and pin count does the FS32K118LFT0VLHT use?
The FS32K118LFT0VLHT uses a 48-pin LQFP package (10 mm × 10 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and rated for moisture sensitivity level 3. This package provides 43 GPIOs, dedicated debug pins (SWD_DIO/SWD_CLK), FlexCAN differential pair, and full peripheral signal routing - matching the S32K11x 48-pin LQFP footprint defined in NXP's official package drawings and pinout documentation.
Can the FS32K118LFT0VLHT support CAN-FD communication?
Yes, the FS32K118LFT0VLHT includes one FlexCAN module that supports CAN-FD (Controller Area Network with Flexible Data-Rate) per ISO 11898-1. It enables data rates up to 5 Mbps in the FD phase and maintains full backward compatibility with classical CAN 2.0B. Physical layer implementation requires an external CAN transceiver; the MCU handles protocol framing, bit timing, and error handling in hardware.
What is the flash and RAM configuration of the FS32K118LFT0VLHT?
The FS32K118LFT0VLHT contains 128 KB of program flash memory with Error-Correcting Code (ECC) and 25 KB of on-chip RAM - comprising 21 KB of general-purpose SRAM and 4 KB of FlexRAM usable either as additional SRAM or EEPROM emulation. This configuration supports AUTOSAR OS, CAN stack, and sensor fusion algorithms while meeting ASIL-B memory integrity requirements.
