Tri-core MCU targets advanced engine control

Tri-core MCU targets advanced engine control

The Qorivva MPC5777M three-core microcontroller enables a new generation of automotive engine management designs. The 55 nm power architecture based chip provides functional safety enhancements along with 596 Kbytes of total SRAM, 8 Mbytes of flash with ECC, and advanced DMA.

The IC meets ISO26262 functional safety certification for ASIL-D safety integrity with redundant 300 MHz processors, plus a 200 MHz I/O processor. It features a dual-channel FlexRay controller, an Ethernet controller, five CAN controllers, six LINFlex ports, and LFAST Zipwire inter-processor communication. The device operates from -40° to 125°C and comes in a PBGA416, MWPBGA292, or PBGA512 package. (From $12 ea/high volume – samples available now.)
