NXP Semiconductors NV is deepening its collaborations with local ecosystem partners including Inventec Inc (英業達) to swiftly deliver its new zonal processors for new-generation vehicles, the company said yesterday.The company’s S32K series automotive microcontroller processing unit (MCU), core of NXP’s newly-released Coreride Z248 zonal reference design, is built on 16-nanometer FinFet technology with embedded magnetic RAM (MRAM) in Taiwan, NXP senior vice president and general manager for automotive systems and platforms Sebastien Clamagirand said at a news conference in Taipei.In addition, a more sophisticated MCU series, called S32M, is to be built on more advanced 5-nanometer process technology later this year in Taiwan, he said.
