SPC560P40L1CEFAR

SPC560P40L1CEFAR is an automotive 32-bit microcontroller from NXP Freescale, in the SPC560P family. It uses the Power Architecture e200z0 core and typically runs up to about 40 MHz, with on‑chip flash and RAM.
Key aspects (variant dependent):
- Automotive‑grade MCU for control units (body, powertrain, etc.)
- Peripherals: multiple serial interfaces (CAN, LIN, SCI/UART, SPI, I2C), PWM/timers, ADCs/DACs, eDMA, CRC, watchdogs
- On‑chip memory and peripheral options sized per device variant
- Safety/reliability features common to automotive MCUs (certification/qualified processes)
Suffix notes:
- “CEFAR” indicates a specific package/revision and related packaging options (RoHS/commercial variations exist).
Development:
- Tools like CodeWarrior or S32 Design Studio; standard automotive software practices.
For exact memory sizes, pinout, package, voltage, and peripheral counts, consult the SPC560P40L1CEFAR datasheet and electrical specifications.

- Pin count: 144 pins (LQFP package).
- Function: 32‑bit automotive microcontroller (SPC560P family) based on the Power Architecture e200z core, with on‑chip Flash/RAM and a full set of peripherals (SCI/SPI/I2C, ADC, PWM, timers, etc.) for automotive control applications.

- Manufacturer: NXP Semiconductors N.V. (the SPC560P40L1CEFAR is part of the SPC5 automotive MCU family; originally Freescale, now under NXP).
