NXP Semiconductors introduced the S32N7 processor series to centralize and digitalize core vehicle functions, a change the company said was intended to reduce system complexity and support broader in-vehicle computing capabilities.

The company described potential reductions in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of as much as 20% through the removal of dozens of hardware modules and reductions in wiring, electronics, and software complexity, and it linked centralization to scaling AI-driven features such as personalized driving, predictive maintenance, and virtual sensors.

The S32N7 series was built on the same 5 nm foundation as the S32N55 and consolidated software and data into a centralized hub with safety and security features. The series included a system-on-chip portfolio with 32 compatible variants, providing application and real-time compute, high-performance networking, hardware isolation technology, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data acceleration while meeting timing, safety, and security requirements.

Bosch was the first to deploy the S32N7 in its vehicle integration platform, and NXP and Bosch co‑developed reference designs, safety frameworks, hardware integration, and an expert enablement program to accelerate system deployment and reduce integration effort for early adopters.

“Our new S32N7 processor series redefines mobility by unlocking innovation well beyond infotainment and autonomy - deep into the core vehicle functions,” said Robert Moran, Vice President Automotive Processors at NXP. “For OEMs, it means simplification and measurable cost savings. For drivers, it means an experience so intuitive, the vehicle anticipates their every need.”

The S32N79, the superset of the series, was sampling with customers, and NXP said the S32N7 provided a path for upgrading to the latest AI silicon without re-architecting the vehicle.
