FS26 - MICROCONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY

[ESof]

Good evening,
I have the following questions regarding the FS26 - S32KXX family compatibility. 
1-Is there a single orderable FS26 option compatible both with a s32k344 and s32k396?
2-what do the third and fourth last digits of the FS26 part number stand for? (i.e. MFS2633HMDE4AD referring to E4)  Is the compatibility with a specific microcontroller defined in those digits?

Thank you

Hello Enrico,

No, there is no single pre-programmed, orderable FS26 part number that natively supports both MCUs.

Regarding the part number suffix (for example E4 in MFS2633HMDE4AD), this suffix represents a specific OTP/programmed variant. It is not by itself a generic MCU compatibility field. The actual base device capability is mainly defined by the FS26xyB/FS26xyD portion of the part number, which defines the silicon feature set (for example VCORE capability, number of trackers, LDT/FS1B presence and ASIL B vs ASIL D), while the suffix identifies the exact programmed version.

Thank you for your answer.
-What makes a preprogrammed FS26 compatible with the s32k396 non-compatible with the s32k344, since the s32k344 has less current consumption compared to the s32k396?
-Is there a document that defines the various programmed versions?

Thanks,
Enrico

Hello Enrico,

Even if S32K344 has lower current consumption, a version programmed for S32K396 may still differ in voltage settings, sequencing, monitoring thresholds and safety configuration, so it should not be assumed to be interchangeable. The detailed programmed-version definition is provided in the FS26 datasheet, especially in the orderable part number tables, the OTP description section and the complete OTP content table referenced by the datasheet.
