NXP MPC5604E ultra-reliable 32-bit MCU

The MPC560xE family of MCUs enables advanced driver assistance, surround view, camera-based systems and industrial applications.These MCUs are gateway systems, designed to move data from different sources via Ethernet to a receiving system and vice versa. Allows for greater levels of system integration, enables miniaturization of camera modules and  helps reduce system costs and time-to-market.Comprehensive development tools simplify and accelerate system design (MPC5604ES includes a SW license package consisting out of Ethernet Streaming & Camera Application SW as well as Autosar OS).

Additional features

Key Technical Characteristics

• Automotive AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified (passed >=2x AEC for robustness validation of C90 process) hence suitable for harsh environmental conditions (up to 150°C junction).
• Core complies with the Power Architecture technology
• Designed to move data from different sources via Ethernet (bandwidth of 10/100 Mb/s) to a receiving system and vice versa. Supported data sources and sinks:
• Video data (with 8/10/12 bits per data word)
• Audio data (6 x stereo channels)
• RADAR data (2 x 12-bit with <1 us per sample, digitized externally and read in via DSPI)
• Other serial communication interfaces, including FlexCAN, LINFlex and DSPI

Highlights

• Enables real-time broadcast of compressed video and audio data over Ethernet with its embedded Motion J-PEG compression engine, precision time stamping hardware (IEEE 1588) and fast Ethernet controller (FEC)
• Low latency MJPEG compressed 1.2 Mpixel, 30 fps video stream fits 100 Mbps Ethernet link
• Camera synchronization via IEEE 1588v2 PTP real-time clock
• Predictive compression control allows high quality factor
• Negligible degradation of object detection rate at high quality factor
• 12-bit per YUV color space component for high dynamic range
• IEEE 1722 Layer 2 AVB transport protocol
• Ethernet simplifies system architectures
• Reduces system costs by moving away from costly cable networks (e.g. LVDS) to less expensive two-wire systems (Unshielded twisted pair).

Applications

• Gateway systems for video & audio compression
• ADAS surround camera
• Aircraft audio management unit
• Booster AVB audio
• Forklift truck rear camera
