NXP S32N Automotive Super Integrated Processor FAQs
1. What is "vehicle super integrated processor"?
The vehicle super integrated processor combines scalable real-time application processing functions with hardware isolation and virtualization technology to support the integration of different vehicle electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicle central computing applications.
2. In what scenarios are vehicle-mounted super integrated processors usually used?
This type of processor is used in automotive central computing. Central computing is an advanced technology that centrally integrates vehicle control, management and service processing in a software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture. Central computing core components may include an on-board central controller dedicated to real-time applications, and an on-board central calculator responsible for processing applications.
3. Why does OEM need central computing processing?
Centralized computing enables automakers to integrate, update, customize and reconfigure vehicle functionality in a unified, functionally safe and information-secure manner. In addition, it can reduce the complexity, cost and weight of the car by reducing the number of ECUs scattered throughout the different cars.
4. What macro trends does the S32N series products respond to?
The S32N series responds to the transformation of automotive electronic and electrical architecture, which eliminates ECU boxes and reduces wiring by integrating automotive functions into system-on-chip (SoC). This shift moves cars from hardware-defined to software-defined, bringing more flexible development methods and many benefits to car manufacturers and consumers. The S32N series focuses on the core need to hyper-integrate the functions of different cars into central computing ECUs. These ECUs will become the brains of software-defined cars, working together with regional controllers and end nodes in new cars.
5. How many chip products does the S32N series automotive super-integrated processor include?
The S32N series will launch a variety of chips, each with scalable real-time application processing capabilities.
6. What process technology does the S32N series processor use?
NXP leverages the computing power and energy efficiency of TSMC's 5nm process to meet the high levels of integration, energy efficiency and performance required for central computing applications.
