With new NXP CPUs
System-on-Module gets Update
MicroSys Electronics is expanding its System-on-Modules (SoM) product family with the »miriac MPX-S32G399A« with the »S32G« processor from NXP Semiconductors. According to the manufacturer, the new module offers 33 percent higher performance for real-time data processing than the predecessor module.
Major improvements include octal eight Cortex-A53 cores instead of four, as well as four Arm Cortex-M7 dual-core lockstep pairs instead of three. OEMs utilizing this new miriac SoM from the NXP Gold Partner MicroSys benefit not only from more processor bandwidth for their safety-critical applications but also from the System-on-Modules’ inherent instant access to prototyping and extended connectivity for their dedicated use cases as well as comprehensive software support and safety documentations mandatory for certifications. The new System-on-Module offers multiple native CAN interfaces, as well as comprehensive FlexRay, LIN and TSN Ethernet support. Target markets are real-time connected vehicles, mobile machinery and automotive test and measurement equipment. Further applications include data loggers, edge gateways and fail-safe programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
The NXP S32G vehicle network processor is targeted for ASIL D safety applications in OEM and Tier-1 automotive applications. MicroSys Electronics extends its application areas to SIL certifications for any market where functional safety standards analog to IEC 61508 are required, including railway technology (EN 50155), aviation (DO-160), stationary and mobile machinery (ISO 13849), as well as manufacturing robots (ISO 10218), control systems (IEC 62061), and drive systems (IEC 61800 5 2). Approvals in the aviation context (DO-254/DO-160) can be supported with manufacturer documentation.
The features of the SoM at a glance:
- Memory: 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM with 3200 MT/s, up to 32 GB non-volatile eMMC Memory and 64 MB QuadSPI-Flash
