New S32J Family of Safe and Secure Ethernet Switches Enables Scalable Vehicle Networks, Extending NXP CoreRide Platform

• New S32J family of high-performance switches (80Gbps) share a common switch core with NXP S32 processing devices to maximize software re-use and simplify network configuration and integration
• Production-grade networking functions with pre-integrated software from NXP and market-leading software partners helps reduce development efforts and optimize system performance
• NXP CoreRide networking solution, built on the S32J family, will help OEMs and Tier 1s navigate complex network challenges associated with software-defined vehicles (SDVs)
  

EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NXP Semiconductors N.V. ( NXPI), the worldwide leader in automotive processing and networking, has introduced the new S32J family of high-performance Ethernet switches and network controllers.

The S32J family shares a common switch core, NXP NETC, with NXP’s latest S32 microcontrollers and processors, allowing them to operate together as one expanded virtual switch. The common networking switch core simplifies integration and software re-use with other solutions within the recently announced NXP CoreRide platform and offers OEMs more efficient and re-configurable networking choices.

The S32J provides 80Gbps bandwidth with ports ranging from 10Mb to 10Gb, and powerful dual Arm® Cortex®-R52 cores to address diverse requirements of new vehicle architectures. The S32J devices meet time-sensitive networking (TSN) automotive standards and provide robust ASIL-D safety, hardware security engine (HSE) and MACsec ports for mixed-critical data traffic.

The combination of the S32J family with the NXP CoreRide platform provides production-grade networking solutions with pre-integrated software and tooling. The solutions include a complete software enablement kit for HSE and MACsec security, TSN stacks and remote configuration and monitoring capabilities. A virtual development kit for the S32J family will be available by the end of 2024. The solution will be available to OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in 2025.

The building blocks for SDV networks
“The transition to software-defined vehicles requires OEMs to simplify their network architectures and reduce the software and hardware integration complexity,” said Meindert van den Beld, senior vice president and general manager of in-vehicle networking at NXP. "The S32J and NXP CoreRide networking solutions provide production-ready building blocks for these new software-defined network architectures.”
