S32M2 Series Integrated Solution for 12 V Motor Control

NXP S32M2 family is designed for 12 V motor control applications. Based on a system-in-package (SiP) design, it integrates high-voltage analog functionalities (MOSFET gate pre-drivers, physical communication interfaces (LIN/CAN FD), and voltage regulators) with a robust embedded MCU core (S32K Arm® Cortex®-M4/M7 series core), ensuring high-performance and functional safety compliance with ISO 26262 up to ASIL B.

Key features include a platform-based design of motor control edge nodes, enabling faster time-to-market, advanced data analysis capabilities, inverter and motor diagnostic capabilities, and advanced algorithms to minimize in-cabin noise.

Through compatibility with the NXP S32 automotive platform, the S32M2 family enables seamless firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates, software reuse, and flexibility.

With attention to cost at the system level, S32M2 integrates voltage regulators, pulse width modulators, analog-to-digital converters, timers, and non-volatile memory to reduce overall component count and reduce board space in a 64-pin LQFP-EP package.

The S32M276SFFRD is a reference design board for three-phase BLDC and PMSM motors for automotive motor control applications. It is based on the S32M24x integrated solution that offers a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 S32K1 microcontroller and analog die with voltage regulator, gate driver, current sensing, and LIN/CAN physical layer in a system-in-package (SiP) design.

The S32M276SFFRD is designed to offer BOM and PCB size reduction. In a less than 2" diameter (5 cm diameter), the boards can drive BLDC/PMSM motor control applications.
