Cypress S6J342 automotive MCU features secure, high-speed networking

Automotive designs are bursting at the seams with electronics and all of these sub-systems are totally relying on two very important things. Networking and security are critical in today’s cars and trucks.

The Traveo (S6J342xxx) 32-bit microcontroller targets gateways, body control modules, HVAC, and collision-warning systems and features six-channel CAN FD networking support with Secure Hardware Extension (SHE). The MCU offers single-supply operation and a 132-MHz Cortex-R5 core. The IC has 512, 822, or 1,000 Kbytes of flash with a 1-Ms/s 64-channel 12-bit A/D converter and an optional 14-channel multi-function serial (MFS) communication block.

The Traveo S6J342xxx is sampling now and will be in production in early 2017. The IC operates at up to 125°C and comes in four package sizes with 100 to 176 pins. Power supply current is typically 85 mA in full operation and 1.3 mA in low-power timer mode. The chip's flash memory retention time is up to 20 years. It has ASIL-B support on the ISO26262 specification.
