Product details
Overview
MPXN2120VMG116 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a 32-bit Power Architecture microcontroller featuring an e200z650 CPU core, 2 MB on-chip flash with ECC, 128 KB on-chip ECC SRAM, and dual FlexCAN controllers. It operates at a static 116 MHz clock speed, supports IEEE 802.3 Fast Ethernet via FEC, and integrates six CAN modules - five FlexCAN and one legacy CAN - for automotive networked control applications.
For engineers reviewing the MPXN2120VMG116 datasheet, MPXN2120VMG116 pinout, MPXN2120VMG116 application, or MPXN2120VMG116 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 208-ball MAPBGA-17×17 mm package, 10-bit 32-channel ADC with 64 internal inputs, 32-channel eDMA, and support for FlexRay, MLB, and Nexus Class 3 debug - all critical for real-time automotive ECU and chassis domain controller designs.
Technical Context
The MPXN2120VMG116 implements a dual-core architecture: the e200z650 main CPU (116 MHz, 32 KB unified cache, FPU/SPE, MMU) and the e200z0 I/O processor (58 MHz), connected via a crossbar switch. Its memory subsystem includes 2 MB flash supporting read-while-program/erase and EEPROM emulation, plus 128 KB ECC SRAM - distinct from the PXN20 variant's 592 KB SRAM.
Peripheral integration centers on high-reliability automotive interfaces: six FlexCAN modules (64 mailboxes total), dual-channel FlexRay (128 message buffers), Fast Ethernet MAC (MII/7-wire), and four I²C, four DSPI, and eight UART/LIN modules. The device lacks Ethernet and MLB (present in PXN20), but adds a 16-entry MPU and Cross-Triggering Unit (CTU) for synchronized ADC triggering.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for MPXN2120VMG116?
The MPXN2120VMG116 is rated for operation from –40 °C to +105 °C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood automotive applications. This specification is confirmed in the PXN20 data sheet, Table 1, where "V" in the part number denotes the –40 °C to 105 °C temperature grade. Thermal derating guidelines are provided in Section 4.2 of the official documentation.
Does MPXN2120VMG116 support IEEE 802.3 Fast Ethernet?
No, MPXN2120VMG116 does not include a Fast Ethernet Controller (FEC). Unlike the PXN20 variant (e.g., MPXN2020VMG116), the PXN21 family omits Ethernet functionality entirely - as confirmed in Table 2 of the PXN20 data sheet under "Ethernet (FEC): No". Designers requiring Ethernet must select the PXN20 series or alternative platforms.
How many CAN controllers does MPXN2120VMG116 integrate?
The MPXN2120VMG116 integrates five FlexCAN modules - each configurable with up to 64 mailboxes - for a total of 320 CAN message buffers. This is explicitly stated in Table 2 ("Controller Area Network (CAN) Controller: 5") and supported by pin assignments for PD0–PD11 covering FlexCAN_A through FlexCAN_F (five active channels, one reserved).
Is MPXN2120VMG116 pin-compatible with MPXN2020VMG116?
Yes, MPXN2120VMG116 and MPXN2020VMG116 share identical 208-ball MAPBGA packaging and mechanical footprint (17 mm × 17 mm), and both use the same ball map per Figure 4 in the PXN20 data sheet. However, functional pin mapping differs - for example, MPXN2120VMG116 repurposes FEC-related pins (PG6–PG15) for eMIOS and ADC, while MPXN2020VMG116 assigns them to Ethernet signals.
What debug interface does MPXN2120VMG116 support?
The MPXN2120VMG116 supports the Nexus Development Interface (NDI) compliant with IEEE-ISTO 5001-2003, offering Nexus Class 3 debug capabilities on the e200z650 core and Nexus Class 2+ on the e200z0 core. This is confirmed in Section 1.2 and Figure 3 of the PXN20 data sheet, and requires the 208-ball MAPBGA package - which MPXN2120VMG116 uses.
