MRS Micro Gateway 32-bit – CAN/LIN Gateway

The new Micro Gateway is a compact gateway for automotive applications. The core piece, the 32-bit processor, provides you with higher performance and thus secure routing and gateway functionality at high bus loads. Thanks to the reduced housing size, you can now also use the gateway in standard relay boxes with a height of 40 mm. The 2 I/Os are now also PWM capable. Implement larger and more complex programs and applications by increasing the flash memory to 2 MB. The RAM has also been increased from 12 KB to 256 KB. This gives you even more memory to temporarily store the higher amount of data The Micro Gateway is available in the following variants: 2 x CAN bus + 2 x LIN Master or 2 x I/Os. The CAN/LIN variant offers you the option of integrating 12 V as well as 24 V LIN sensors, for example for operating a 12 V rain light sensor in a commercial vehicle. This function is only available in a separate version. The module is also CAN FD capable.

Architecture and memory

According to the datasheet, the core of the gateway is an NXP S32K148 (Arm Cortex-M4F) processor with an 80 MHz clock, 2 MB flash, 256 K RAM and 4 K EEPROM (emulated). These resources are meant for routing at high bus loads and for larger applications.

CAN and LIN interfaces

  • There are two CAN channels: CAN0 on pins 7 and 9, CAN1 on pins 1 and 3. The CAN interface is CAN 2.0 A/B (ISO 11898-2) and CAN-FD capable.
  • Depending on the assembly variant, LIN is provided on pin 5 (LIN0) and pin 8 (LIN1); pin 5 can alternatively carry an optional 12 V reference output.
  • The LDF interpreter in Applics Studio generates the LIN data points and schedule tables from the LDF file; the software channel identifier used to address the LIN bus is generated automatically.

I/Os, supply and housing

  • Variant-dependent 2 I/Os: 0…33 V analog input, digital input, high-side digital output (1 A) or PWM output (3 Hz…1000 Hz).
  • Supply 9…32 V; variants with LIN 15…32 V (Code F, according to ISO 16750-2).
  • Weight 30 g. IP6K8 is achieved with the correct mounting direction and the waterproof plug-in socket.
  • Accessories: Applics Studio Bundle (1.100.200.00) and PCAN-USB FD interface (503750).

Which gateway?

If two CAN channels and a housing that fits a relay box are enough, the Micro Gateway 32-bit is a good fit. If you need more CAN, see the MRS Universal Gateway 5x CAN with its 5 x CAN interface. For other products: MRS Electronic, Control units.

EHR Elektronik develops application software for MRS Electronic control units.

Frequently asked questions

How many CAN interfaces are there, and is CAN FD supported?

There are 2 x CAN interfaces (CAN0 and CAN1). The module is CAN FD capable and the interface is CAN 2.0 A/B, ISO 11898-2.

How is LIN configured?

Depending on the assembly variant, LIN is provided on pin 5 and pin 8. The LDF interpreter in Applics Studio generates the data points and schedule tables from the LDF file.

Do the I/Os support PWM?

Yes. The 2 variant-dependent I/Os can also be configured as a PWM output (3 Hz…1000 Hz).
