STMicroelectronics SPC564AADPT324S

Overview

SPC564AADPT324S from STMicroelectronics is a mini evaluation module designed for the SPC564A80B4 32-bit automotive microcontroller (BGA324 package), forming part of the SPC56xx modular evaluation system with SPC56XXMB motherboard. It provides full I/O signal access, dual CAN (HS + LS/FT), dual FlexRay, two LIN, one SCI, four user buttons/LEDs, potentiometer input, and configurable 3.3 V/5 V logic levels.

For engineers reviewing the SPC564AADPT324S datasheet, SPC564AADPT324S pinout, SPC564AADPT324S application, or SPC564AADPT324S equivalent, this module enables rapid validation of powertrain control, body electronics, and chassis domain controllers using the SPC564A series MCU - requiring no soldering and supporting jumper-based peripheral enablement and voltage-level selection.

Technical Context

The SPC564AADPT324S is a daughter card that mates exclusively with the SPC56XXMB motherboard to form a complete evaluation platform; it does not operate standalone without the motherboard. Its BGA324 footprint matches the SPC564A80B4 MCU, and all 324 I/O signals are routed to expansion headers or prototyping area.

Onboard L9758 regulator delivers three regulated supplies (1.2 V core, 3.3 V I/O, 5 V peripheral) with jumper-selectable logic level configuration per peripheral block. CAN, LIN, SCI, and FlexRay transceivers are enabled via hardware jumpers, allowing isolated testing of each interface under defined voltage and termination conditions.

FAQ

Does the SPC564AADPT324S include the SPC564A80B4 microcontroller?

No. The SPC564AADPT324S is a bare mini module - the SPC564A80B4 MCU must be purchased separately and soldered onto the board. The module provides the precise BGA324 footprint, thermal pad layout, and signal routing required for that device, but ships unpopulated.

Can the SPC564AADPT324S operate without the SPC56XXMB motherboard?

No. This is a daughter card designed exclusively for use with the SPC56XXMB motherboard. It lacks onboard power regulation beyond the L9758 input stage, has no debug interface, and relies on the motherboard for JTAG/SWD connectivity, USB-to-SCI bridging, and system-level clock distribution.

What voltage levels can be configured for CAN and LIN interfaces?

The board supports jumper-selectable 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels for both CAN and LIN peripherals, aligning with target MCU I/O voltage requirements. Configuration is per-interface block and independent of the L9758's fixed 3.3 V and 5 V rails - achieved via level-shifter jumpers near each transceiver.

Is the FlexRay interface fully populated on this module?

Only one FlexRay channel is fully populated with transceiver and DB9 male connector; the second channel includes footprints only - requiring external transceiver placement and manual routing. This allows flexibility for custom FlexRay PHY selection while maintaining signal integrity for the primary channel.
