Historically focused on vehicle dynamics systems such as braking, chassis and powertrain control, functional safety now extends across the vehicle application spectrum from body control modules and battery management systems (BMS) to zone and motor control ECUs. Central to this is the role of the MCU either as the primary safety and application processor or as a safety companion IC. To address this growing market need, NXP has enabled the S32K3 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M7 based MCU family with robust hardware safety features and custom-made safety software that can be employed in both automotive as well as industrial designs.
