NXP Doubles Its Portfolio of MagniV Microcontrollers Serving the Growing Global Automotive Motor Control Market
Comprehensive Additions to NXP's MagniV Product Line Are Engineered to Speed and Simplify Motor Control Systems
DETROIT,, Oct. 05, 2016 –
According to IHS Markit Technologies, approximately three billion electric motors for automotive applications will be shipped this year, with the vast majority being DC and brushless DC motors.*
NXP's new MagniV solutions are single-chip, high-voltage MCUs housing the power supply, physical communication layer (PHY) and application-specific drivers. The solutions also feature advanced development tool enablement technologies such as the Motor Control Development Toolbox, MCAT and FreeMASTER for shorter tuning and debug cycles. And for even faster time to market, NXP now supports all MagniV devices with the
NXP's addition of 17 new MagniV MCUs more than doubles the size of the popular portfolio for the control of a wide array of automotive systems and motor applications. Like all MagniV MCUs, these new additions share a common platform for streamlined development and optimized hardware and software reuse.
"The continued electrification of vehicles is driving significant growth for electric motors controlling a wide array of automotive systems including fluid pumps, cooling fans, and more," said
Product and Technical Details
NXP's new offerings for automotive motor control applications include:
- Additions to the S12ZVM MCU family now ranging from 16KB to 256KB embedded flash, and featuring new options with onboard physical layer for CAN or High Voltage PWM (HV-PWM), while adding more LIN versions for reuse of software and hardware across applications such as pumps and fans, and across different carmaker platforms and multiple communication protocols. The new S12ZVMA and S12ZVMB members address a variety of uni-, and respectively bi-directional DC motor applications driven by MOSFETs.
- The S12VR MCU family, which adds new, cost-effective 32-pin versions featuring 16KB to 32KB embedded flash, and targets entry-level, anti-pinch window lift and sunroof applications in
China and other fast-growing markets. - The highly optimized and production ready AMMCLib, which is free of charge for evaluation and development. Production license fees have been reduced by 50 percent and are applicable across the NXP Automotive portfolio, including S12 MagniV, S32K and MPC56xx/57xx MCUs.
- New advanced motor control algorithms in the AMMCLib to support PMSM sensor-less operations in both single and dual-shunt configuration for current sensing.
- The Motor Control Development Toolbox for model-based software development, as well as the FreeMASTER Run-Time Debugging Tool which now support MagniV MCUs and are offered free of charge across the NXP Automotive portfolio.
- A new level of robustness: depending on package options these new products support full automotive qualification according to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 for operation in harsh environments up to 150 degree ambient temperature. Additionally, all new MagniV products have been developed according to the stringent ISO26262 standard and come with a guide to accelerate compliance to functional safety requirements.
