Product details
Overview
S32K348GHT1VPCSR from NXP Semiconductors is an ASIL-D certified automotive MCU featuring dual Arm Cortex-M7 cores in lockstep configuration, 8 MB ECC-protected program flash, 1152 KB SRAM with 192 KB TCM, and operation across -40 °C to 125 °C. It integrates eight FlexCAN modules with CAN FD support, one 1 Gbps Ethernet AVB/TSN interface, and three 12-bit ADCs (24-channel each), targeting safety-critical vehicle control units and domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the S32K348GHT1VPCSR datasheet, S32K348GHT1VPCSR pinout, S32K348GHT1VPCSR application, or S32K348GHT1VPCSR equivalent, key selection criteria include ASIL-D compliance, lockstep core architecture, QuadSPI interface supporting up to 2 Gbps (8-bit), uSDHC controller, and hardware security engine (HSE_B) with AES-256 acceleration.
Technical Context
The S32K348GHT1VPCSR implements a dual-core lockstep Arm Cortex-M7 platform running at 240 MHz per core, with independent I/D caches, FPU, and DSP extensions. Its memory subsystem includes ECC on all on-chip memories and supports RWW (Read-While-Write) for OTA updates via A/B swap.
Timing and safety are enforced through integrated modules: System Timer Modules (STM), Logic Control Units (LCU), Body Control Trigger Unit (BCTU), and centralized Functional Safety Control Unit (FCCU). The device uses two PLLs, FXOSC (8–40 MHz), FIRC (48 MHz), SIRC/SXOSC (32 kHz), and supports autonomous RTC with API function.
