1 Introduction
The S32R is a 32-bit heterogeneous multi-core microcontroller
family primarily intended for use in computationally intensive
automotive RADAR applications. The device family
incorporates Power Architecture

cores arranged as two
independent e200z7260 for general computation and the
S32R274 device also features an e200z420 core with an
e200z419 checker core running in delayed lockstep
configuration for safety-critical and housekeeping tasks. The
family integrates high-performance signal processing features
designed to support sophisticated automotive RADAR
applications, and the S32R274 also integrates high accuracy
analog features to further enhance it's ability to interface with
a wide range of RADAR RF devices.
This application note illustrates the S32R family power supply
options and details the external circuitry required for power
supplies, oscillator connections, and supply decoupling pins. It
also discusses configuration options for clock, reset, ADC
modules and the RADAR analog front-end, as well as
recommended debug and peripheral communication
connections (including MIPI-CSI2) and other major external
hardware required for the device.
The S32R family requires multiple external power supplies to
operate. The main cores internal logic requires a 1.25 V power
supply. This can be supplied from an external source or on
some devices this can alternatively be provided by an internal
DC-DC regulator that requires a dedicated supply. 3.3 V is
