S32K3xx chip's feature comparison</EM> of datasheet (Rev. 9).</P> <P>There you can see that S32K388 have 1xM7 LS + 3xM7 or 2xM7 LS + 1xM7 ("LS" means Lockstep core).</P> <P>Additionally you can refer to <EM>Figure 10. Block diagram – S32K388</EM>, where you can see that <BR />Core 2 is Permanent Lock-Step, but Cores 0 and 1 can be decoupled:</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="2025-02-27_12-50-52.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.nxp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/326089iB4B67609D67BCFC8/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="2025-02-27_12-50-52.png" alt="2025-02-27_12-50-52.png" /></span></P> <P>Hope it helps you.</P> <P>Have a nice day!</P> <P> </P> Thu, 27 Feb 2025 18:55:35 GMT https://community.nxp.com/t5/S32K/S32kxx/m-p/2053201#M46309 _Leo_ 2025-02-27T18:55:35Z
