Product details
Overview
S5LS20216ASPGEMEP from Texas Instruments is a radiation-tolerant, GEIA-STD-00021-1 qualified 16/32-bit RISC Flash microcontroller based on the ARM® Cortex™-R4F CPU, operating at up to 140 MHz with 2 MB flash (ECC), 160 KB SRAM (ECC), and dual-lockstep CPUs for safety-critical aerospace control systems.
For engineers reviewing the S5LS20216ASPGEMEP datasheet, S5LS20216ASPGEMEP pinout, S5LS20216ASPGEMEP application, or S5LS20216ASPGEMEP equivalent, this device delivers deterministic real-time control with integrated FlexRay, dual CAN, LIN/UART, NHET timer, and dual 12-bit MibADCs - all validated for operation from –55°C to 125°C in military-grade LQFP-144 packaging.
Technical Context
The S5LS20216ASPGEMEP implements dual ARM Cortex-R4F CPUs in lockstep with BIST, ECC on flash/SRAM, parity on peripheral memories, and an Error Signaling Module (ESM) with external error pin - forming a hardware-level fault-detection architecture compliant with GEIA-STD-00021-1 for aerospace electronics. Its FMzPLL clock module provides frequency-modulated phase-locked loop operation with oscillator and PLL monitoring.
It integrates three MibSPI interfaces (each with 128 buffers and parity), two LIN/SCI UARTs supporting LIN 2.0, two DCAN controllers (64 mailboxes each, CAN 2.0B), and a 25-channel High-End Timer (NHET) with dedicated transfer unit and parity-protected 128-word RAM - all accessible via a 16-bit External Memory Interface (EMIF) and managed by a Vectored Interrupt Module (VIM).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-R4F dual-core in lockstep, 1.6 DMIPS/MHz, up to 140 MHz - enables SIL3-aligned functional safety without software redundancy overhead. |
| Memory | 2 MB flash with SECDED ECC + 160 KB SRAM with SECDED ECC - ensures data integrity across full temperature range without external scrubbing. |
| Peripherals | 2 × DCAN (CAN 2.0B, 64 mailboxes each), 2 × LIN/SCI, 3 × MibSPI (128 buffers/parity), 25-channel NHET, dual 12-bit MibADC (20 total channels, 64-word parity buffers each). |
