Product details
Overview
SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-core automotive microcontroller featuring a 160 MHz e200z4 CPU and an 80 MHz e200z2 CPU, 3 MB on-chip flash, 384 KB SRAM with end-to-end ECC, and integrated HSMv2 security module. It supports ISO 26262 ASIL-B functional safety and targets engine control units (ECUs), transmission control, and battery management systems in 125°C ambient environments.
For engineers reviewing the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 datasheet, SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 pinout, SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 application, or SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-core deterministic timing, FlexCAN FD + Ethernet AVB connectivity, hardware security for secure boot, and qualification for automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C).
Technical Context
The SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 implements a crossbar switch architecture enabling concurrent access to flash, SRAM, and peripherals by multiple bus masters-including both e200z4 and e200z2 cores, eDMA, and ENET. Its memory subsystem includes triple-ported 64-bit flash controller with three page buffers and SMPU with 32 region descriptors for fine-grained memory protection.
Timing and safety are enforced via FMPLL with frequency modulation, RTC, 16 PITs, two STM modules, FCCU fault collection, and CMU clock monitoring. All critical buses-core, flash, RAM, peripherals-employ SECDED ECC covering 64-bit data and 29-bit address paths.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPC5748G | Higher flash (4 MB), larger SRAM (512 KB), adds third e200z2 core; no HSMv2 (HSMv1 only) | Targeted at complex ADAS domain controllers requiring more code space and multi-threaded middleware | Choose MPC5748G when >3 MB flash or additional core resources are required; not drop-in compatible due to pin count (256 BGA vs 176 LQFP) |
| SPC58NG84C3 | Tri-core (e200z7 + dual e200z4), 8 MB flash, 2 MB SRAM, ASIL-D capable, supports AUTOSAR 4.3+ | Designed for zonal architectures and central compute where ASIL-D decomposition is mandated | Choose SPC58NG84C3 for next-gen E/E architectures requiring higher safety integrity or AUTOSAR OS compliance; requires PCB redesign |
Compared with MPC5748G and SPC58NG84C3, the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 delivers optimal balance of ASIL-B safety, dual-core determinism, and 176-pin LQFP packaging-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained ECUs where footprint and qualification maturity are prioritized over raw scalability.

FAQ
What is the package type and thermal specification of the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6?
The SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 uses a 176-pin LQFP-EP (exposed pad) package with 0.5 mm pitch and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C ambient). Its thermal resistance θJA is specified at 28.5°C/W on a 2s2p board, and maximum junction temperature is 150°C. The exposed pad must be soldered to a thermal plane for reliable operation in under-hood environments.
Does the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 support CAN FD, and how many channels are available?
Yes, the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 integrates eight FlexCAN3 modules, all supporting CAN FD protocol (up to 5 Mbps data phase) with programmable bit timing, flexible data length (up to 64 bytes), and built-in CRC and error confinement. Channels FlexCAN0 through FlexCAN7 are fully independent and can operate simultaneously on separate networks.
What security features does the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 include, and are they production-ready?
The SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 includes HSMv2 with cryptographic accelerators (AES-128/256, SHA-256, ECDSA), Password and Device Security (PASS) for lifecycle management, and secure boot enforcement. These features are production-qualified per ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155, and supported by NXP's Secure Bootloader (SBL) and EdgeLock® SE050 integration reference designs.
How is functional safety implemented in the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 for ASIL-B compliance?
The SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 achieves ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance through hardware fault collection (FCCU), lockstep-capable peripherals (e.g., eMIOS, SWT), SMPU memory protection, end-to-end ECC on all memory and buses, and diagnostic libraries certified by TÜV SÜD. Safety mechanisms are documented in the FMEDA report and supported by NXP's SafeAssure™ development tools.
Can the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 operate with both 3.3 V and 5 V I/O supplies, and how is flash powered in each case?
Yes, the SPC5746CSK1AMKU6 supports mixed-voltage I/O: VDD_HV_A/B/C may be independently set to 3.3 V or 5 V. When VDD_HV_A = 3.3 V, VDD_HV_FLA is shorted to it; when VDD_HV_A = 5 V, VDD_HV_FLA is internally regulated to 3.3 V using the on-chip flash regulator-requiring only a decoupling capacitor (Cflash_reg = 1.32–3 µF).
