MPC563MZP56

Introduction: The MPC563MZP56 is an automotive-grade 32-bit MCU in NXP Freescale’s MPC56xx family. It is built around the Power Architecture e200 core for deterministic real-time control and integrates flash, RAM, and a broad set of peripherals for automotive/industrial use. Key features typically include PWM and timer modules, ADCs/DACs, eDMA, SCI/UART, SPI, I2C, and serial communications, plus automotive interfaces such as CAN/LIN. It comes in a 56-pin package (MZP56) suited for compact ECU boards. It targets engine, body/chassis electronics, motor control, and industrial automation. Development is supported by standard toolchains (CodeWarrior, IAR, GCC) and middleware/RTOS options (MQX, FreeRTOS). For exact feature set, memory sizes, package options, operating voltages and CAN/LIN availability, consult the latest datasheet and product brief, as NXP updates the portfolio.
