What is a “Vehicle Super-Integration Processor”?
A vehicle super-integration processor combines scalable real-time and applications processing with hardware isolation and virtualization technologies to support the consolidation of cross-vehicle electronic control units (ECUs) in vehicle central compute applications.
What application is a vehicle super-integration processor typically utilized for?
Vehicle super-integration processors are used in automotive central compute applications. Central compute is the centralized consolidation of vehicle control, management and services processing in a software-defined vehicle (SDV) architecture. Central compute can include a central vehicle controller, which focuses on real-time applications and a central vehicle computer, which addresses applications processing.
Why do OEMs need central compute processing?
Central compute provides automakers a consistent way to consolidate, update, customize and reconfigure vehicle functionality in a safe and secure manner. Consolidation of distributed, cross-vehicle ECUs also reduces the complexity, cost and weight of vehicles.
What are some of the macro trends that the S32N family addresses?
The S32N family address the vehicle E/E architectural shift that removes ECU boxes and reduces wiring with consolidation of vehicle functions into system-on-chips (SoCs). This shift moves vehicles from hardware-defined to software-defined vehicles and allows for more agile development and benefits to carmakers and consumers. The S32N family addresses a key need of cross-vehicle function super-integration into central compute ECUs that will serve as the brain of SDVs, working with zonal controllers and end nodes in the new vehicles.
How many silicon products are in the S32N family of vehicle super-integration processors?
The S32N family will include multiple devices with a range of scalable real-time and application processing.
What process technology is used for the S32N family of processors?
Leveraging the computing power and power efficiency of TSMC's 5 nm technology, NXP meets the high levels of integration, power efficiency and performance required for central compute applications.
