The SPC56 family of 32-bit automotive microcontrollers is designed using Power Architecture™ and ST’s 90 nm embedded Flash technology. Developed within the framework of the STMicroelectronics/Freescale Joint Development Program (JDP), it combines a scalable range of e200 cores with innovative peripheral sets that are optimized for building efficient applications in engine management, chassis, safety, body control and instrument clusters.
The modular design concept and the ultimate performance of the technology together with the rigorous implementation of a zero-defect strategy will make it a reference platform for the next generation of automotive applications. |
