The S32Z and S32E real-time processors from NXP have Arm Cortex-R52 split-lock processors for multi-tenant software integration plus lockstep Arm Cortex-M33 processors for system management. They combine multicore, real-time processing with core-to-pin hardware virtualization, DSP/ML processing, communications acceleration, with hardware security and ISO 26262 ASIL D safety.

The S32Z processors address safety processing and domain and zonal control, while the S32E processors serve applications like electric vehicle control and smart actuation. The software-compatible S32Z and S32E processors help enable software-defined vehicles, reduce software integration complexity, and enhance security and safety. The S32Z and S32E processors are part of the NXP S32 Platform.
