SPC560P, SPC56EL - 32-bit microcontrollers
for chassis and safety

STMicroelectronics’ SPC560P, SPC56EL, MCU families are members of a set of 32-bit Flash microcontrollers dedicated to the specific needs of chassis and safety applications with special focus on functional safety and advanced three-phase motor control.

The unique modularity and scalability of the device architectures provides compatible devices covering the wide range of chassis and safety applications with optimum cost, safety and performance trade-off.

 
 
SPC560P, SPC56EL - 32-bit microcontroller families benefits for automotive
Efficient and safe processing of application data
High-performance 32-bit PowerPC cores: e200z0 with VLE for best code efficiency, e200z4d dual issue, cache memory, DSP and vector floating point
Integrated safety: SPC56EL global SIL3/ASILD safety implementation including a sphere of replication, HW diagnostic capability (BIST), centralized fault collection and control unit - HW safety measures release application processing power since not relying on SW measures
SPC56EL unique configurability: use of both e200z4d cores in either highest safety integrity mode (lock-step) or performance mode (parallel)
