S32M241LCABMKHSR

Microcontrollers Overview

The S32M241LCABMKHSR is a System in Package (SiP) automotive microcontroller from the NXP S32M2 family, designed for 12V motor control applications. It integrates an Arm Cortex-M4F processor running at 80MHz with high-voltage analog features and gate drivers. The device includes 128kB of flash memory, 32kB of SRAM, and a 6-channel MOSFET Gate Driver Unit (GDU). It supports direct connection to vehicle networks via an integrated LIN/CXPI physical interface and provides a 5V output for external loads.

Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrates an Arm Cortex-M4F core with floating-point capabilities alongside high-voltage analog functionalities and voltage regulators operating directly from a car battery.
• Features a built-in 6-channel MOSFET Gate Driver Unit (GDU) for driving up to three-phase BLDC or PMSM motors.
• Includes an integrated LIN/CXPI physical interface allowing direct connection to the communications bus without external PHY components.
• Provides hardware security options through CSEc and meets ISO 26262 functional safety standards.

Microcontrollers Applications

• Single Brushless DC (BLDC) motor control
• Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive applications
• Up to three Brushed DC motor control systems

Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'R' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration. Confirm the 'L' designation corresponds to the LIN/CXPI physical layer option rather than CAN-FD. Ensure the 'M' temperature grade matches the required -40°C to +125°C ambient range for your application environment.

Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select this part when a cost-effective, system-level solution for 12V motor control is required. It is suitable for designs needing integrated gate drivers and physical layer communication to reduce component count. Choose over the S32K series if high-voltage regulation and pre-drivers are needed on-chip.

Microcontrollers Part Context

This component belongs to the S32M2xx family, which combines general-purpose MCU capabilities with application-specific high-voltage features. It shares architectural similarities with the S32K series but adds integrated voltage regulators and MOSFET pre-drivers specifically for automotive motor control environments.
