NXP Semiconductors N.V. has announced an all new control and compute concept for connected, electric and autonomous cars. The NXP S32 platform is the world’s first fully-scalable automotive computing architecture, the company reported.
Soon to be adopted by both premium and volume automotive brands, it offers a unified architecture of microcontrollers/microprocessors (MCU/MPU) and an identical software environment across application platforms.
Automotive industry estimates reveal there are more lines of code in an advanced vehicle than a modern passenger aircraft. This complexity places carmakers and automotive suppliers under pressure to satisfy market expectations for higher electronic functionality within tightening time-to-market constraints.
Leading OEMs are now using pre-silicon emulation and development tools available from NXP’s key third party partners.
