There are up to four FlexCAN Modules for CAN communication, a standard popular both in automotive and industrial applications. In addition to FlexCAN, there is an Ethernet controller, the emerging backbone of industrial networks. For on board and external peripherals there are up to four enhanced SPI modules and 2 enhanced SCI modules. The existing Power™ parts currently operate up to 144MHz with plans to extend that with dual core options running at 200MHz plus. To provide designers the range of solutions to meet their specific demands, the MPC5500 family offers a range of products with different levels of program memory and integration. Today the MPC5500 supports products that feature anywhere between 1MB flash memory up to 3MB flash memory with plans to offer both smaller and larger flash memory derivatives in the future. Stemming from the demands on quality by the automotive industry, the MPC5500 family delivers less than a ppm failure rate, meaning designs have the peace of mind to know that there MPC5500 range is one of the most robust and reliable in the industry today. In addition to product reliability, the big advantage NXP offers is longevity of support. Both the Automotive and Industrial arena products must be supported through the entire life of an end system, which can range from 5-15 years or more. In addition, upgrades and new derivatives are continually being launched to ensure developers have the right product for their application.
