### AUTOSAR ICU Module on NXP Microcontrollers Documentation and Resources

For developers working with the AUTOSAR ICU (Input Capture Unit) module on NXP microcontrollers, several key documents and resources provide comprehensive guidance. The ICU driver module leverages input capture units to perform signal demodulation, pulse counting, frequency measurement, duty cycle calculation, simple interrupt generation, as well as wake-up interrupts[^2].

#### Key Features of ICU Module Implementation
The ICU module within the MCAL layer supports various functionalities including different measurement modes such as edge-to-edge or level measurements. These features are crucial when integrating non-AUTOSAR applications into an existing AUTOSAR environment.

#### Integration Considerations
When considering integration between AUTOSAR components like ICU drivers and non-AUTOSAR codebases using FlexCAN interfaces, it is important to ensure proper configuration management and synchronization mechanisms. This involves careful handling of initialization sequences, interrupt service routines, and data exchange protocols across both systems[^1].

#### Example Code Snippet Demonstrating Basic Configuration
Below shows a simplified example demonstrating how one might configure an ICU channel for capturing rising edges:

// Initialize ICU Channel 0 for Rising Edge Detection
void Init_ICU_Channel(void){
    Icu_ConfigType Config;
    
    /* Set up parameters */
    Config.ChannelId = ICU_CHANNEL_0;          // Selecting specific hardware resource
    Config.InputPin = ICU_PIN_PA0;             // Assign GPIO pin connected externally
    Config.Notification = &IcuCallbackFunc;     // Register callback function pointer
    
    // Apply settings through standard API call provided by MCU vendor's SDK
    Icu_Init(&Config);
}

This snippet illustrates setting up basic configurations required before starting any actual timing operations via ICU channels available on supported devices from NXP Semiconductors.

#### Additional Resources Available Through Official Channels
Developers can also refer directly to official documentation supplied alongside their chosen development kit which typically includes detailed descriptions about each peripheral along with sample projects showcasing best practices during implementation phases involving these modules[^3].
