SPC560S50x, SPC560S60x 32-bit MCU for cluster applications with stepper motor,
TFT graphic controller and LCD driver

The SPC560Sx family represents a new generation of 32-bit microcontrollers based on the ower ArchitectureTM. These devices are targeted to address the next wave of automotive instrument cluster applications driven by significant growth in demand for color Thin Film Transistor (TFT) displays within the vehicle. The advanced and cost-efficient processor core of the family complies with the Power Architecture™ embedded category, which is 100% user-mode compatible with the original PowerPC user instruction set architecture (UISA). It offers high performance processing optimized for low power consumption, operating at speeds up to 64 MHz. The family itself is fully scalable from 256 KB up to 1 MB internal flash memory. The memory capacity can be further expanded via the on-chip QuadSPI serial flash controller module. Larger memory versions with greater graphics functionality are planned for the future.

The SPC560Sx family benefits from the extensive development infrastructure for Power
Architecture devices which is already well established. This includes full support from
available software drivers, operating systems and configuration code to assist with users
implementations.

The SPC560Sx family platform has a single level of memory hierarchy supporting on-chip
SRAM and flash memories. The 1 MB flash version (SPC560S60) features 160 KB of onchip graphics SRAM to buffer cost effective color TFT displays driven via the on-chip
Display Control Unit (DCU).
The SPC560Sx family of microcontrollers are designed to reduce development and
production costs of TFT-based instrument cluster displays by providing a single-chip solution with the processing and storage capacity to host and execute real-time application software and drive the TFT display directly. Operating at speeds of up to 64 MHz, these devices offer high performance processing with low power consumption. Memory and storage capacity can be further expanded via the on-chip Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and QuadSPI peripheral modules.
The SPC560Sx platform features up to 1 MB of on-chip flash memory, up to 160 KB of onchip graphics SRAM and an on-chip Display Control Unit (DCU) designed to drive color TFT displays.

SPC560Sx devices are compatible with the existing development infrastructure of current
Power Architecture™ devices and are supported with software drivers, operating systems
and configuration code to assist with application development.

Figure 2 outlines an Instrument Cluster application supporting a color TFT display built around the SPC560S60 microcontroller. With its internal Display Control Unit, it is capable of directly driving up to a Wide Quarter VGA (WQVGA) color TFT display using internal memory resources only. Further, it supports a Parallel Digital Interface (PDI) for cost effective, simple video input. Increased graphical content can be achieved using external serial flash memory and can be further extended with external flash and/or SRAM connected to the serial peripheral interface (QuadSPI).
