Getting started with SPC564A-DISP discovery board
Introduction
The SPC564A-DISP is an evaluation tool supporting STMicroelectronics SPC56 M Line
microcontrollers.
The discovery board SPC564A-DISP is based on SPC564A70L7 32-bit 150 MHz e200z4
Power Architecture
®
core, 2Mbyte on-chip in an LQFP176 package.The numerous
interfaces including CAN/SCI/K-LINE/DSPI/GPIO make the SPC56M-DISP an excellent
starter kit for customer quick evaluation and project development.

The SPC56 M family is designed to address cost sensitive powertrain and transmission
applications.
The SPC56 M line key functionality is Time processing units (eTPU) a coprocessor to create
events in sync with internal or external signals without flooding the CPU with interrupt to
serve.
