Product details
Overview
SVF512R3K2CMK4 from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-core heterogeneous application processor integrating an ARM Cortex-A5 core (400 MHz) and ARM Cortex-M4 core (133 MHz), with OpenVG GPU, 512 KB on-chip SRAM (ECC), dual 12-bit SAR ADC (1 MS/s), and dual 12-bit DAC - designed for industrial HMI, automotive infotainment gateways, and embedded vision edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the SVF512R3K2CMK4 datasheet, SVF512R3K2CMK4 pinout, SVF512R3K2CMK4 application, or SVF512R3K2CMK4 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin mapping, confirmed alternative options, and supply-ready availability details - all grounded in NXP's VYBRID RS Series EC Rev. 8 specification.
Technical Context
The SVF512R3K2CMK4 implements a tightly coupled dual-core architecture where the Cortex-A5 handles high-level OS tasks (Linux/Android) while the Cortex-M4 executes real-time control loops, sensor fusion, and safety-critical functions - with shared memory coherency maintained via hardware interconnect and TrustZone isolation. It integrates dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs with IEEE 1588 timestamping, FlexCAN3 interfaces, and dual USB OTG controllers with integrated PHYs.
Its memory subsystem includes an 8/16-bit DRAM controller supporting LPDDR2/DDR3 up to 400 MHz (ECC enabled only for 8-bit mode), dual Quad SPI with XIP, and 8/16/32-bit FlexBus for legacy peripheral bridging - all coordinated by a centralized power management unit enabling multiple stop/wait/run modes and per-module clock gating.
