Overview
S32K358GHT1VPCST from NXP Semiconductors is an ASIL-D compliant, lockstep dual-core Arm Cortex-M7 automotive MCU operating up to 240 MHz, featuring 8 MB ECC-protected program flash, 1152 KB SRAM with 192 KB TCM, and integrated hardware security engine (HSE-B). It supports CAN FD, Ethernet AVB/TSN, QuadSPI (up to 2 Gbps), and is qualified for -40 °C to 125 °C operation in safety-critical vehicle control units.
For engineers reviewing the S32K358GHT1VPCST datasheet, S32K358GHT1VPCST pinout, S32K358GHT1VPCST application, or S32K358GHT1VPCST equivalent, key selection criteria include ASIL-D functional safety certification, lockstep core redundancy, 240 MHz real-time performance, HSE-B cryptographic acceleration, and support for high-bandwidth interfaces including 1 Gbps Ethernet and 8-bit QuadSPI.
Technical Context
The S32K358GHT1VPCST implements two Arm Cortex-M7 cores in lockstep configuration with full error detection and correction across all memories (ECC) and data paths (EDC), enabling ISO 26262 ASIL-D compliance. Its clock system integrates dual PLLs, FXOSC (8–40 MHz), FIRC (48 MHz), SIRC/SXOSC (32 kHz), and SPLL for deterministic timing control in safety-critical domains.
It features a 64-bit crossbar fabric, three 12-bit ADCs (24-channel each), BCTU for cross-triggering between analog and timer subsystems, and XRDC-based memory protection enforcing strict master access rights-critical for domain-separated automotive software architectures.
