Building on the same 5 nm foundation as the S32N55, NXP Semiconductors unveiled the S32N7 Series super-integration processor, paving the way for a new era in which carmakers can digitalize every vehicle’s core functions, including propulsion, vehicle dynamics, body, gateway, and safety domains, reducing complexity and enabling AI-powered innovation at scale.
With unwavering safety and security, the S32N7 series is designed to combine software and data into a single centralized hub at the center of the vehicle.
By eliminating dozens of hardware modules and improving wiring, electronics, and software efficiency, the new processor series enables carmakers to significantly simplify vehicle architectures and lower total cost of ownership by as much as 20%.
Automakers can scale AI-driven innovation throughout the entire vehicle by centralizing intelligence. This speeds up software business models and makes advanced capabilities like virtual sensors, predictive maintenance, and personalized driving possible.
The S32N7 series’ high-performance data backbone guarantees a future-proof route for updating to the newest AI silicon without re-architecting the vehicle, thus enabling automakers to consistently stand apart.
Scalable hardware and software across models and brands are made possible by the S32N7, which is designed for the software-defined future and redefines vehicle architectures by digitizing the vehicle’s key functions.
Centralizing software lowers total cost of ownership and speeds up development. The S32N7 series becomes the primary AI control point for next-generation mobility thanks to its high computational performance and access to essential vehicle data.
Accelerating Software-Defined Mobility with Bosch
Bosch is the first to deploy the S32N7 in its vehicle integration platform. Together, NXP and Bosch have co-developed reference designs, safety frameworks, hardware integration, and an expert enablement program, accelerating system deployment and reducing integration effort for early adopters.
Key Comments
Matthias Breunig, SVP Compute Enhanced, Bosch Mobility, said: “Bosch’s vehicle- integration platform is at the heart of new E/E architectures enabling truly software-defined vehicles. Our intensive collaboration with NXP on its S32N7 processor series demonstrates how we combine leading semiconductor technology with our deep system expertise and highest standards of safety and security. By having Bosch ECU samples ready with the first NXP S32N7 silicon, we deliver to our customers a significant head start for development, ensuring rapid implementation and robust performance for next-generation vehicle computers.”
“Our new S32N7 processor series redefines mobility by unlocking innovation well beyond infotainment and autonomy – deep into the core vehicle functions,” said Robert Moran, Vice President Automotive Processors at NXP. “For OEMs, it means simplification and measurable cost savings. For drivers, it means an experience so intuitive, the vehicle anticipates their every need.”
The S32N7 series offers a scalable portfolio with 32 compatible variants, delivering application and real-time compute with high-performance networking, hardware isolation technology, AI and data acceleration on a system-on-chip (SoC), while meeting the strict timing, safety, and security requirements of the vehicle core.
It is a key element of NXP’s S32 automotive processing platform, designed to accelerate the shift toward intelligent, next-generation vehicles.
