MPC574xP

The MPC574xP is a high-performance 32-bit microcontroller family from NXP Semiconductors, built on the Power Architecture core. It features advanced processing capabilities, including a dual-core or single-core configuration with up to 180 MHz clock speed, enabling efficient real-time control and complex algorithm execution. The device integrates multiple peripherals such as high-resolution PWM modules, flexible timer units, and a rich set of communication interfaces like CAN FD, FlexCAN, SPI, I²C, and UART, making it ideal for demanding automotive and industrial applications. Core features include support for functional safety through integrated error detection and correction (ECC) in memory, watchdog timers, and self-test mechanisms compliant with ISO 26262 ASIL-D standards. The MPC574xP also offers robust power management with multiple low-power modes, allowing optimized energy consumption without compromising performance. Its memory architecture consists of up to 2 MB of flash memory and 256 KB of SRAM, with hardware protection mechanisms for secure code execution and data integrity. The microcontroller supports real-time operating systems (RTOS) and includes a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) for secure memory partitioning, enhancing system reliability in multi-tasking environments. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive set of analog peripherals, such as high-precision ADCs with up to 16-bit resolution and programmable gain amplifiers, enabling accurate sensor signal acquisition in motor control, battery management, and powertrain systems. Designed for automotive applications, the MPC574xP is widely used in electric vehicle (EV) inverters, motor control units, chassis control systems, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Its high computational throughput and deterministic response make it suitable for applications requiring precise timing, such as engine control units (ECUs), transmission control, and electronic braking systems. In industrial settings, it supports servo drives, robotics, and automation controllers due to its strong real-time performance and extensive peripheral set. NXP’s development ecosystem includes tools like the CodeWarrior Development Studio, integrated debuggers, and software libraries that accelerate time-to-market. The MPC574xP’s flexibility, scalability, and compliance with industry standards ensure reliable deployment across safety-critical and performance-sensitive applications in both automotive and industrial domains.
