The SPC56xx family of 32-bit automotive microcontrollers implements the Power Performance Computing (PPC) core and STMicroelectronics’ 90 nm embedded Flash technology. It combines core scalability and innovative peripheral sets that are optimized for automotive applications which include engine management, chassis, safety, body control and instrument clusters.

Explore the capabilities of the SPC56xx family and the creation of CAN and LIN applications with the SPC563 Primer. This simple easy-to-use tool provides everything you need to program an SPC56xx microcontroller and control application execution. New software updates are available today! To obtain the SPC56xx Primer hardware contact your STMicroelectronics' sales office or representative.

Raisonance application development tools for SPC56xx include Ride7 software for editing and debugging applications, and the RFlasher device programming interface. Ride7 and RFlasher allow programming and debugging of executables produced by a range of compilers including those from Cosmic Software, GreenHills Software and Windriver.

Software tools are delivered with the RLink debugger/programmer and REva starter kits for PowerPC.
