AEK-MCU-C4MLIT3

AEK-MCU-C4MLIT3 is a cost-optimized and compact size MCU discovery kit for SPC58EC80E5 Chorus 4M automotive microcontroller with CAN-FD and unified automotive connector. The AEK-MCU-C4MLIT3 evaluation kit consists of an MCU board (AEK-MCU-C4M3) and a connector board (AEK-CON-LIT). The AEK-MCU-C4M3 is designed to address automotive and transportation applications as well as other applications requiring automotive safety and security levels. A cryptography-dedicated MCU core, employed as HSM, is paired with a dual 180MHz general-purpose 32-bit core, hosted by on-board SPC58EC80E5 MCU, featuring 4MB of flash memory. 2 CAN-FD transceivers support high-speed CAN-FD applications, up to 8Mbps communication speed, featuring low quiescent current, EMC and ESD. The board also hosts an OpenOCD debugger/programmer, MCU peripheral connectors, wake up and reset buttons. MCU ADC reference voltage is provided by a stable LDO embedded in L5963 IC or by L99VR02JTR IC depending on the chosen voltage.

• 12V DC power supply connector for external supply (board supplied via automotive unified connector)
• L5963 automotive dual monolithic switching regulator with LDO
• Two voltage configurations for the microcontroller (5V or 3.3V)
• JTAG connector, five generic LEDs, Reset and wakeup buttons
• Four 3.3V/5V SPIs and one SPI working at 3.3V (thanks to a fixed voltage-level translator)
• Two CAN-FD transceivers and reverse battery-protection dedicated circuit
• Extremely low quiescent current in standby conditions
• Compact size: AEK-MCU-C4M3: 127mm x 90mm and AEK-CON-LIT: 127mm x 65mm
