The new S32J family of high-performance Ethernet switches and network controllers by NXP Semiconductors provide 80Gbps bandwidth with ports ranging from 10Mb to 10Gb, and powerful dual Arm Cortex-R52 cores to address the requirements of new vehicle architectures.
The S32J devices meet time-sensitive networking (TSN) automotive standards and provide robust ASIL-D safety, hardware security engine (HSE) and MACsec ports for mixed-critical data traffic.
The S32J family shares a common switch core, NXP NETC, with NXP’s latest S32 microcontrollers and processors. A common networking switch core simplifies integration and software re-use with other solutions within the recently announced NXP CoreRide platform and offers OEMs more efficient and re-configurable networking choices.
The combination of the S32J family with the NXP CoreRide platform provides production-grade networking solutions with pre-integrated software and tooling. The solutions include a complete software enablement kit for HSE and MACsec security, TSN stacks and remote configuration and monitoring capabilities. A virtual development kit for the S32J family will be available by the end of 2024 and the solution will be available to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in 2025.
Meindert van den Beld, senior vice president and general manager of in-vehicle networking at NXP, said, “The S32J and NXP CoreRide networking solutions provide production-ready building blocks for these new software-defined network architectures.”
