NXP Cortex-R52 NXP S32Z and S32E Real-Time Processors

The NXP S32Z and S32E real-time processors extend the NXP’s S32 Automotive Platform and target new consolidated domain and zonal vehicle architectures. Designed to provide the real-time behavior of microcontrollers, but with an unparalleled combination of gigahertz speed, safe multi-app integration and memory expansion capabilities, the devices target propulsion domain control, electrification and safety applications.

NXP S32Z and S32E Real-Time Processors

The S32Z2 and S32E2 series devices are manufactured in 16 nm technology and combine eight Arm® Cortex®-R52 cores, running at 600 MHz to 1 GHz, with Cortex-M33 cores for special purposes like system management and communications. For advanced timer functions to be realized in real-time applications, a clustered Generic Timer IP Module (GTM v4.1) is implemented. A network-on-chip (NoC) ensures fast communication between the main core clusters and other functional blocks. Depending on the device, up to 64 MB integrated flash memory is available. The non-volatile memory can be extended with external QuadSPI NOR, eMMC or SDHC NAND memories, as well as with LPDDR4 flash memory supporting large applications and data.
