NXP’s S32N55 device is the first in NXP’s new 5nm S32N family of vehicle super-integration processors for central compute applications. We will walk through the main modules and features shown in the S32N55 block diagram to explain them in more detail.

The S32N55 virtual prototype from Synopsys provides a comprehensive development platform for the S32N55 enabling software developers to debug and analyze their software efficiently, leading to faster turnaround and higher software quality. It includes the processing subsystem, the security subsystem, functional safety models, PCI Express communication interface, multi-port TSN Ethernet switch and CAN hub. 

The S32N55 is the first member of the S32N family of vehicle super-integration processors.  It targets centralized, safe, real-time vehicle control in software-defined vehicles (SDVs).

To support the transition to future vehicles where capabilities and features are defined with software code, rather than with hardware boxes, a new approach to design them is required. NXP's new S32N family targets the super-integration of vehicle functions for central compute applications in SDVs.
