Mouser Electronics is now stocking the S32R274 radar microcontroller from NXP Semiconductors. Engineered to meet the high-performance computation demands required by modern beam-forming and fast chirp-modulation radar systems, the S32R274 combines signal-processing acceleration with a multicore architecture to provide up to four times the power performance in industrial and automotive applications, compared to previous generations of products.
The microcontroller offers four Power Architecture cores — including an e200Z4 32-bit CPU for its safety core, and e200Z7 32-bit CPUs for its dual computation cores — to provide exceptional power performance, integration, safety, and reliability. Other features include 2MB of flash with ECC, 1.5MB of SRAM with ECC, and a Signal Processing Toolbox (SPT) for radar signal processing acceleration. For memory protection, the S32R274 provides 24 entries for each core memory protection unit, a data and instruction bus system memory protection unit, and register protection.
Security features of the S32R274 include a Cryptographic Security Engine for advanced security management, a Password and Device Security module that supports censorship and lifecycle management, and a diary control for tamper detection. With support for ISO 26262 SEooC up to ASIL-D classification and a rating for AEC-Q100 Grade 1, the S32R274 is an ideal solution for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
The S32R274 is supported by the S32R274RRUEVB evaluation board, also available from Mouser. which offers a variety of interfaces, including RS232/SCI, FlexRAY, LINFlexD, Ethernet, and two CAN interfaces.
