Product Description：

The GD32A722BXJ3TB is a high-integration, security-optimized automotive microcontroller from GigaDevice's GD32A722 series. It is built around a modern Arm® Cortex®-M33 core featuring integrated Arm TrustZone® technology, providing a robust hardware foundation for isolating safety-critical and security-sensitive software components. This is further reinforced by a dedicated Hardware Security Module (HSM), establishing a dual-layer, hardware-rooted security architecture that is paramount for next-generation connected and software-defined vehicles. Engineered to meet AEC-Q100 Grade 2 standards and support ISO 26262 functional safety development, it also incorporates essential high-speed automotive communication interfaces. The utilization of a Ball Grid Array (BGA) package makes this MCU exceptionally suitable for complex, space-constrained electronic control units (ECUs) where maximum integration, superior thermal performance, and advanced security are non-negotiable requirements.

Key Features：

Architected for Security: Centers on an Arm Cortex-M33 core with Arm TrustZone®, enabling hardware-enforced isolation between secure and non-secure software domains. This is critical for protecting cryptographic operations, secure boot, and over-the-air (OTA) update mechanisms.

Dedicated Cryptographic Hardware: Integrates a standalone Hardware Security Module (HSM) equipped with a comprehensive suite of cryptographic accelerators (e.g., AES, SHA, TRNG, PKA). The HSM provides a secure vault for keys and accelerates encryption/authentication for protocols like Secure Onboard Communication (SecOC).

Automotive Qualification & Safety: Compliant with AEC-Q100 Grade 2 reliability standards (-40°C to +105°C). The silicon and supporting ecosystem are designed to aid in the development of systems targeting ISO 26262 ASIL-B functional safety level.

High-Speed Automotive Networking: Features a curated set of advanced communication peripherals essential for modern E/E architectures, including:

Automotive Ethernet (e.g., 100BASE-T1 or 1000BASE-T1) for high-bandwidth domain/zone communication.

Multiple CAN FD channels for deterministic, high-speed data exchange on legacy and new networks.

Additional serial interfaces (SPI, I²C, UART, LIN) for sensor and actuator connectivity.

Substantial Memory Resources: Packaged with significant embedded Flash and SRAM (commensurate with the series, e.g., 1-2MB Flash, 512KB+ SRAM) to accommodate partitioned secure/non-secure firmware, communication stacks, and cryptographic libraries.

Mixed-Signal & Control Capabilities: Includes high-precision analog peripherals (ADCs, DACs) and advanced timers for precise system monitoring and control.

High-Density Package: Housed in a Ball Grid Array (BGA) package. This allows for a very compact footprint, efficient thermal dissipation, and a high number of interconnects, which is ideal for complex, multi-layer PCB designs found in central computing and high-performance domain controllers.

Typical Applications：

Secure Central Gateway / Domain Controller: As the heart of a vehicle's communication network, securely routing and filtering data between domains while enforcing security policies.

High-Performance ADAS Domain Controller: Processing and fusing data from cameras, radars, and lidars in a secure environment, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of sensor data and decision-making algorithms.

Vehicle Computer (VCU) / Zonal Controller: In centralized or zonal E/E architectures, acting as a high-performance, secure processing node managing a cluster of vehicle functions and I/Os.

Next-Generation Telematics & V2X Control Unit: Serving as the secure core in TCUs, handling encrypted V2X communications, secure GNSS, and protected OTA updates.

Electric Vehicle Central Control Units: In Battery Management System (BMS) masters or integrated vehicle control units where secure communication and functional safety are critical.

Aerospace, Defense, and High-Assurance Industrial Systems: For applications demanding the highest levels of security, reliability, and processing in a compact form factor.
