1 Introduction
MPC5746R is a multi-core 32-bit microcontroller 
intended for automotive powertrain applications. It is 
based upon e200z4 Power
®
 
Architecture cores running at 
up to 200 MHz.
Throughout this application note, MPC5746R refers to 
the family of devices: MPC5743R, MPC5745R, and 
MPC5746R.
This application note details the options of MPC5746R 
power supplies and the correct external circuitry required 
for each supply, including digital, analog, and SRAM 
standby. It also discusses configuration options for clock, 
reset, and ADCs, as well as recommended debug and 
peripheral communication connections, and other major 
external hardware required for the device.
