For engineers reviewing the SPC5748CK1MKU6 datasheet, SPC5748CK1MKU6 pinout, SPC5748CK1MKU6 application, or SPC5748CK1MKU6 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin mapping for the 176 LQFP-EP package, real-world use cases in automotive networking, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The SPC5748CK1MKU6 implements a triple-core heterogeneous architecture: two high-performance e200Z4 CPUs (160 MHz, VLE, single-precision FPU, 8 KB I-cache/4 KB D-cache) plus one e200Z2 CPU (80 MHz, VLE), all sharing a 64-bit AHB bus with end-to-end SECDED ECC across flash, RAM, and interconnects. Its memory subsystem includes 6 MB flash with three port buffers and 768 KB SRAM distributed across three ports with SMPU protection.

Yes, the SPC5748CK1MKU6 supports CAN FD on all eight FlexCAN modules, as confirmed in the MPC5748G datasheet Rev. 6, Table 1 (Family Comparison) and Section 6.4.1 (Communication Interfaces). Each FlexCAN module operates at data rates up to 5 Mbit/s in FD mode and includes hardware timestamping, bus-off recovery, and error counters - essential for high-bandwidth vehicle networking applications.
What package type and pin count does the SPC5748CK1MKU6 use?
The SPC5748CK1MKU6 uses a 176-pin Low-Profile Quad Flat Package with Exposed Pad (LQFP-EP), as indicated by the "KU" suffix in its part number per NXP's ordering guide (Section 3.2). This package is thermally optimized for automotive under-hood environments and supports all I/O features specified for the MPC5748G family, including 246 GPIOs in larger BGA variants - though pin count is fixed at 176 for this LQFP variant.
Is the SPC5748CK1MKU6 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the SPC5748CK1MKU6 is automotive-qualified with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating (-40°C to +125°C ambient), functional safety compliance to ISO 26262 ASIL-B, and qualification status "S" (Automotive qualified) per NXP's ordering nomenclature. Its design includes hardware fault detection (FCCU), memory built-in self-test (MBIST/LBIST), and dual SMPUs - all validated for automotive ECU deployment.
What security features does the SPC5748CK1MKU6 include?
The SPC5748CK1MKU6 includes HSMv2 (Hardware Security Module version 2) with cryptographic acceleration, Password and Device Security (PASS/TDM) for secure boot and lifecycle management, and a Fault Collection and Control Unit (FCCU) for centralized fault handling. These features are documented in the MPC5748G datasheet Rev. 6, Sections 1 (Features) and 6.5 (Security), and are enabled in the SPC5748CK1MKU6 variant per its "S" qualification and "K" security option code.
