NXP Semiconductors FS23 Safety System Basis (SBC) PMICs

NXP Semiconductors FS23 Safety System Basis (SBC) PMICs are pin-to-pin / software compatible and include CAN / LIN transceivers, along with a number of system and safety features for emerging automotive electronic control units (ECU). The FS23 SBC is scalable from the linear voltage regulator version to the DC-DC regulator version and from QM to ASIL B. These devices provide a high level of integration to optimize the bill of material (BOM) cost for the body and comfort market.

The highly flexible PMICs are suitable for S32K processor-based applications and multi-vendor processors. Several device versions are available, offering choices in output-voltage settings, operating frequency, power-up sequencing, and input/output configurations to address multiple applications.
