The S32K3 MCUs of 32/bit AEC-Q100 qualified MCUs combine a scalable family of Arm^® Cortex^®-M7-based microcontrollers in single, dual, and lockstep core configurations, supporting up to ASIL D functional safety automotive and industrial applications.

S32K3 MCUs feature hardware security engine (HSE) with NXP firmware, support for firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates and free ISO 26262 compliant Real-Time Drivers (RTD) for AUTOSAR^® and non-AUTOSAR.

S32K3 MCUs are available in the new NXP MaxQFP package, which reduces the package footprint by up to 55% when compared to the standard QFP package.
