On January 14, according to foreign media reports, recently, Dutch chip maker NXP Semiconductors ( NXP   Semiconductors) announced the new S32G vehicle network processor.

This new type of processor has played a key role in shifting the standards of the automotive industry to high-performance domain-based automotive frameworks, marking an important turning point in the design and implementation of automotive architecture. In addition, it simplifies typical software complexity and improves vehicle safety.

The S32G processor is the latest member of the S32 family launched by NXP Semiconductors in 2017, and is the world's first to integrate the traditional   MCU   Processor integrated with ASIL D functional safety support, network acceleration and high-performance application processor. It offers a higher level of functionality than previously provided in a single device.

This processor supports the latest service-oriented gateways and will help OEMs transform from car manufacturers to vehicle data-driven service providers, thereby expanding business opportunities. At present, it has been adopted by the world's top OEM manufacturers.

The S32G processor takes the vehicle's data transmission securely and protects safety-critical applications from malicious attacks, thereby elevating automotive network security to a new level.

However, S32G is not just a network processor. Its unique combination of functions enables it to support the latest ADAS applications and provide secure and reliable communication functions, which greatly promotes the overall integration of vehicle networks.

The S32G series includes four devices, and the S32G274A, the first of four devices in the series, has begun to provide samples to its major customers.

Audi ECU   Autonomous driving   R & D Director Bernhard Augus   ti   n means: "We Believes that the unique combination of network, performance, and security features of the S32G processor is ideal for use in our next-generation ADAS domain controller. "

The NXP S32 architecture addresses the challenges of future automotive development through a series of architectural innovations, enabling automakers to bring rich in-vehicle experiences and autonomous driving capabilities to the market faster.
