Fault Collection Unit
The FCU provides an indipendent fault reporting mechanism even in case the CPU is
misbehaving.
The FCU module has the following features:
●
FCU status register reporting the device status
●
Continuous monitoring of critical fault signals
●
User selection of critical signals from different fault sources inside the device
●
Critical fault events trigger 2 external pins (user selected signal protocol) that can be
used externally to reset the device and/or other circuitry (ex: safety relay, Flexray
transceiver)
●
Faults are latched into a register
3.3.15
System Integration Unit (SIU-Lite)
The SPC560Px SIU-Lite controls MCU pad configuration, external interrupt, general
purpose I/O (GPIO), internal peripheral multiplexing.
The pad configuration block controls the static electrical characteristics of I/O pins. The
GPIO block provides uniform and discrete input/output control of the I/O pins of the MCU.
The SIU provides the following features:
●
Centralized general purpose input output (GPIO) control of up to 82 input/output pins
and 26 analog input only pads (package dependent)
●
All GPIO pins can be independently configured to support pull-up, pull down, or no pull
●
Reading and writing to GPIO supported both as individual pins and 16-bit wide ports
●
All peripheral pins, except ADC channels, can be alternatively configured as both
general purpose input or output pins
●
ADC channels support alternative configuration as general purpose inputs
●
Direct readback of the pin value is supported on all pins through the SIU
●
Configurable digital input filter that can be applied to some general purpose input pins
for noise elimination
–
Up to four internal functions can be multiplexed onto 1 pin
3.3.16
Boot and censorship
Different booting modes are available in the SPC560Px: booting from internal flash memory
and booting via a serial link.
The default booting scheme is the one which uses the internal flash memory (an internal
pull-down is used to select this mode). The alternate option allows the user to boot via
FlexCAN or LINFlex (using the boot assist module software) or via FlexRay.
A censorship scheme is provided to protect the content of the flash memory and offer
increased security for the entire device.
