Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How many CPU cores does SAK‑TC389QP‑160F300S AE have?
A: 4×TriCore™ v1.6.2 cores @300 MHz plus 2 hardware lock‑step checker cores, 2700 DMIPS with FPU/DSP support.
Q2: What is the flash & SRAM capacity?
A: 10 MB ECC‑protected Flash (supports A/B mirror swap for OTA); 1.34‑1.53 MB ECC‑protected SRAM.
Q3: What package is this part in?
A: PG‑LFBGA‑516, 516‑pin, 17×17 mm SMD. This package enables full peripherals including Gigabit Ethernet.
Q4: Where can I get datasheet & volume pricing?
A: Please submit inquiry form for datasheet, CAD files, real‑time stock and bulk quotation.
Q5: What do the part‑number suffixes mean?
A: SAK=automotive grade; QP=4‑core + full HSM; 160=memory/package variant(not frequency); 300=300 MHz; AE=silicon stepping revision.
Q6: Difference between TC389QP and TC387QP?
A: TC389QP has full‑feature HSM and complete peripheral set. TC387QP comes with reduced HSM and fewer interfaces for cost‑sensitive designs.
Q7: Are there pin‑compatible alternatives?
A: SAK‑TC389QP‑160F300S‑AA (earlier silicon stepping); SAK‑TC389QP‑96F300S‑AE (9.6 MB Flash). Firmware validation is required before substitution.
Q8: SAK vs SAL prefix for AURIX MCUs?
A: SAK = automotive‑grade with AEC‑Q100 qualification. SAL = industrial‑grade, same temperature range but no automotive certification.
Q9: Can all peripherals work at the same time?
A: No. Pins are multiplexed; some peripherals cannot be enabled simultaneously. Refer to official datasheet for pin‑mux configuration.
Q10: Difference between 516‑ball and 292‑pin packages?
A: PG‑LFBGA‑516 offers full peripherals (Gigabit Ethernet, max CAN‑FD/LIN). 292‑pin package has fewer I/O and limited functions for low‑end automotive applications.
Q11: What is the maximum junction temperature?
A: Ambient:‑40~+125°C; Max junction Tj:165°C. Follow datasheet thermal derating for real‑world designs.
