Product details
Overview
FS32K146UAT0VLHR from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-grade 32-bit Arm® Cortex-M4F microcontroller with 2 MB flash, 256 KB SRAM (both with ECC), and dual-core capability (M4F + M0+). It operates at up to 112 MHz in HSRUN mode, supports CAN-FD, FlexCAN, LPUART/LIN, LPSPI, LPI2C, and integrates CSEc security engine and 12-bit ADCs. It targets body control modules and gateway ECUs requiring ASIL-B compliance.
For engineers reviewing the FS32K146UAT0VLHR datasheet, FS32K146UAT0VLHR pinout, FS32K146UAT0VLHR application, or FS32K146UAT0VLHR equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40 °C to 105 °C ambient rating (V-grade), 100-pin LQFP package, 156 GPIOs, integrated safety mechanisms (MPU, CRC, WDOG, EWM), and mandatory RUN-mode execution for CSEc/EEPROM operations.
Technical Context
The FS32K146UAT0VLHR implements a dual-core architecture with Arm Cortex-M4F (primary) and Cortex-M0+ (auxiliary), sharing AXBS-Lite crossbar and system-level MPU for memory protection across masters. Its clock system includes SPLL (up to 112 MHz), FIRC (48 MHz), SIRC (8 MHz), and LPO (128 kHz), with configurable power modes (HSRUN, RUN, STOP, VLPR, VLPS).
It features two independent 12-bit ADCs (up to 32 channels each), eight FlexTimer modules (64 PWM/IC/OC channels), three FlexCAN controllers (CAN-FD capable), and FlexIO for protocol emulation. Security is enforced via CSEc (SHE-compliant), 128-bit UID, and ECC on flash/SRAM - all validated per ISO 26262 up to ASIL-B.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-core execution | M4F handles real-time control and signal processing; M0+ manages low-power housekeeping - reduces software complexity and improves determinism. |
| ASIL-B safety architecture | System MPU enforces memory access rights per master (Core, DMA, Ethernet); CRC, WDOG, and EWM provide runtime fault detection and recovery. |
| CSEc cryptographic engine | Hardware-accelerated AES-128/256, SHA-256, RNG, and key vault - enables secure boot, OTA updates, and key provisioning without CPU overhead. |
| Flexible power management | Five power modes (HSRUN/RUN/STOP/VLPR/VLPS); clock gating per peripheral; LPTMR/LPIT enable precise wake-up timing from deep sleep. |
| QuadSPI with HyperBus™ | Supports external XIP flash up to 133 MHz; reduces boot time and offloads internal flash wear - critical for firmware update resilience. |
| FlexIO programmable interface | 8-pin module emulates UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, LIN, PWM, or custom protocols - eliminates need for external glue logic in mixed-interface systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| S32K144UAT0VLHR | 1 MB flash, 192 KB SRAM, 2× FlexCAN, 64-pin LQFP - lower memory and I/O count. | Suitable for cost-sensitive gateways or simpler BCMs with fewer bus nodes. | Select when full 2 MB flash and 3× FlexCAN are not required; offers identical V-grade temp range and pinout compatibility within 64-pin footprint. |
| S32K148UAT0VLHR | 2 MB flash, 384 KB SRAM, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC, 2× SAI, 144-pin LQFP - adds networking and audio interfaces. | Required for domain controllers needing IEEE 1588 time-synchronized Ethernet or audio streaming. | Choose when Ethernet connectivity or multi-channel audio I/O is essential; shares same core, security, and safety architecture but larger package. |
Compared with S32K144UAT0VLHR, FS32K146UAT0VLHR delivers higher memory capacity and third FlexCAN channel for expanded network topology; versus S32K148UAT0VLHR, it omits Ethernet and SAI to reduce BOM cost and PCB area while retaining full CAN-FD and safety feature set.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the FS32K146UAT0VLHR, and under what conditions?
The FS32K146UAT0VLHR achieves up to 112 MHz in HSRUN mode, delivering 140 DMIPS performance. However, CSEc security operations and EEPROM writes/erases are prohibited at this frequency and require switching to 80 MHz RUN mode. This restriction is enforced by hardware error flags to ensure deterministic execution during safety-critical memory operations - a design requirement verified in the S32K1xx Reference Manual.
Does the FS32K146UAT0VLHR support CAN-FD, and how many instances are available?
Yes, the FS32K146UAT0VLHR integrates three independent FlexCAN modules, all supporting CAN-FD (ISO 11898-1) with bit rates up to 5 Mbps in FD mode. Each module includes dedicated message buffers, FIFOs, and loopback/self-test capabilities - confirmed in the S32K1xx Data Sheet Rev. 15 feature comparison table and functional description.
What package type and pin count does the FS32K146UAT0VLHR use?
The FS32K146UAT0VLHR uses a 100-pin LQFP package (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. This matches the pinout definition for S32K14x devices in the 100-pin LQFP option, enabling drop-in compatibility with other members of the family such as S32K144 and S32K148 in the same footprint - per Figure 3 and ordering information in the datasheet.
How does the FS32K146UAT0VLHR implement functional safety per ISO 26262?
The FS32K146UAT0VLHR achieves ASIL-B compliance through hardware-enforced safety mechanisms: System MPU enforces memory access rights per master (Core, DMA), CRC module validates data integrity, dual watchdogs (WDOG + EWM) provide independent fault detection, and ECC protects flash/SRAM. These features are documented in the S32K1xx Data Sheet Section 1.1 and validated per ISO 26262 Part 5.
Is the FS32K146UAT0VLHR qualified for automotive temperature grade, and what is its range?
Yes, the FS32K146UAT0VLHR is V-grade qualified with an ambient operating temperature range of -40 °C to +105 °C, validated for HSRUN mode operation. Junction temperature is rated to 125 °C under these conditions - specified in Table 5 (Thermal Operating Characteristics) of the S32K1xx Data Sheet Rev. 15.
