This microcontroller is a 32-bit system-on-chip (SoC) device intended for use in mid-range engine control and automotive transmission control applications.

It is compatible with devices in ST’s SPC56xx family and offers performance and capability above that of the SPC563M devices.

The microcontroller’s e200z4 host processor core is built on the Power Architecture technology and designed specifically for embedded applications. In addition to the Power Architecture technology, this core supports instructions for digital signal processing (DSP).

The device has two levels of memory hierarchy consisting of 8 KB of instruction cache, backed by a 128 KB on-chip SRAM and a 2 MB internal flash memory.

For development, the device includes a calibration bus that is accessible only when using the STMicroelectronics calibration tool.

SPC56A-DISP Discovery+开发套件

The SPC56A-DISP Discovery+ kit helps to discover SPC56 A line Power Architecture Microcontrollers with full access to CPUs, GPI/O’s and peripherals such as CAN, UART, JTAG, K-Line, LIN at budget price.

Free ready-to-run application firmware examples are available inside SPC5Studio to support quick evaluation and development.

SPC5Studio includes visual configurable code generation engine, board support package (BSP), startup routines, interrupt services, free RTOS (optional) and a full set of low level drivers. SPC5Studio includes HighTec GNU "C" compiler, with a 30-days full free trial license. SPC5Studio is available for free download.

The SPC56A line is designed to address the most complex automotive power train and transmission applications.

The SPC56A key functionality is Time processing units (eTPU) a coprocessor to create events in sync with internal or external signals without flooding the CPU with interrupt to serve.

An E2E Community is available on ST WEB to get ST experts support in getting started quickly with SPC56 microcontrollers
