New family of MCUs helps automakers shift to SDVs with a range of zonal and electrification architecturesCombines leading-edge core performance with embedded MRAM memory to enable ECU consolidation without sacrificing latency or efficiencyNXP CoreRide platform enables faster time to market and reduced lifecycle costs via pre-integrated software and reference solutions from partner ecosystemNUREMBERG, Germany, March 11, 2025 — EMBEDDED WORLD — NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI), the trusted partner for innovative solutions in the automotive market, today unveiled its new S32K5 family of automotive microcontrollers (MCU), the automotive industry’s first 16nm FinFET MCU with embedded magnetic RAM (MRAM). The S32K5 MCU family will extend the NXP CoreRide platform with pre-integrated zonal and electrification system solutions for scalable software-defined vehicle (SDV) architectures.Automakers are embracing zonal architectures with diverse approaches to the distribution and integration of electronic control unit (ECU) functions. The foundation of these zonal solutions is a next-generation MCU architecture that combines real-time performance with low-latency deterministic communication, and innovative isolation features.“The new S32K5 family pushes the boundaries of MCU performance without sacrificing the safety, efficiency and isolation that are essential for zonal solutions,” said Manuel Alves, SVP and GM, automotive microcontrollers at NXP. “The NXP CoreRide platform featuring S32K5 will help automakers and Tier-1s accelerate the development of zonal architectures, providing a scalable foundation for software-driven innovation.”NXP’s new S32K5 family features Arm® Cortex® CPU cores running up to 800 MHz and offers power-efficient application performance, enabled by the 16nm FinFET process. Optimized accelerators are available to boost key workloads, including network translation, security and digital signal processing
