NXP Semiconductors SPC5748GK1MMN6

Overview

SPC5748GK1MMN6 from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-qualified Power Architecture® microcontroller featuring dual 160 MHz e200Z4 cores and one 80 MHz e200Z2 core, 6 MB on-chip flash with ECC, 768 KB SRAM, and integrated HSMv2 security module. It supports ISO 26262 ASIL-B functional safety and targets vehicle gateway, body control, and domain controller applications requiring high-integrity communication and real-time processing.

For engineers reviewing the SPC5748GK1MMN6 datasheet, SPC5748GK1MMN6 pinout, SPC5748GK1MMN6 application, or SPC5748GK1MMN6 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin assignments for the 324-pin MAPBGA package, confirmed CAN FD/Ethernet/USB/FlexRay peripheral support, and two rigorously cross-referenced alternative parts for gateway and safety-critical automotive designs.

Technical Context

The SPC5748GK1MMN6 implements a triple-core architecture with two high-performance e200Z4 CPUs (160 MHz) handling safety-critical tasks and one e200Z2 CPU (80 MHz) managing background operations, all sharing end-to-end ECC protection across flash, SRAM, and bus transactions. Its memory subsystem includes 6 MB flash with three-port controller and 768 KB SRAM distributed across three ports to enable concurrent access by multiple bus masters via crossbar switch.

Peripheral integration centers on automotive networking: eight FlexCAN3 modules (all supporting CAN FD), dual 10/100 Ethernet controllers with AVB, IEEE 1588, and L2 switching, dual-channel FlexRay 2.1, and 18 LINFlexD modules. Clocking uses FMPLL with 8–40 MHz FXOSC, 32 kHz SXOSC, and internal FIRC/SIRC oscillators, while debug conforms to IEEE-ISTO 5001-2008 Nexus Class 3+ for both core types.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the SPC5748GK1MMN6 CPU cores?

The SPC5748GK1MMN6 integrates two e200Z4 cores operating at up to 160 MHz and one e200Z2 core at up to 80 MHz. These frequencies are guaranteed across the full automotive temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) under specified voltage conditions (VDD_LV = 1.2–1.32 V, VDD_HV = 3.15–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V), as documented in Section 4.2 of the MPC5748G Data Sheet Rev. 6.

Does the SPC5748GK1MMN6 support CAN FD, and how many channels are available?

Yes, the SPC5748GK1MMN6 supports CAN FD on all eight FlexCAN3 modules. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the Family Comparison table (Table 1) and block diagram (Figure 1) of the MPC5748G Data Sheet Rev. 6, enabling high-speed, payload-expanded communication for modern vehicle networks.

What package type and pin count does the SPC5748GK1MMN6 use?

The SPC5748GK1MMN6 uses a 324-ball MAPBGA package (package code MN), measuring 15 mm × 15 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch and an exposed thermal pad. This package supports 246 general-purpose I/O pins and is rated for automotive temperature operation (–40°C to +125°C), as specified in Section 8 and Table 1 of the MPC5748G Data Sheet Rev. 6.

Is the SPC5748GK1MMN6 certified for functional safety standards?

Yes, the SPC5748GK1MMN6 is certified to ISO 26262 ASIL-B for specific functions, including its memory protection units, ECC implementation, and fault collection unit (FCCU).
