The K10 MCU family is the entry point into the Kinetis portfolio. Devices start from 128 KB of flash in a small-footprint 80-pin LQFP package extending up to 512 KB in a 144-pin MAPBGA package with a rich suite of analog, communication, timing and control peripherals. Pin compatibility, flexible low-power capabilities and innovative FlexMemory help to solve many of the major pain points for system implementation.
Features
Ultra-Low-Power
-
10 low-power modes with power and clock gating for optimal peripheral activity and recovery times. Stop currents down to 2 µA, and run currents of <350 181="" a="" mhz="" with="" 4="" s="" wake-up="" from="" stop="" mode="">
-
Full memory and analog operation down to 1.71 volts for extended battery life
-
Low-leakage wake-up unit with up to eight internal modules and 16 pins as wake-up sources in low-leakage stop (LLS)/very low-leakage stop (VLLS) modes

Low-power timer for continual system operation in reduced power state
Flash, SRAM and FlexMemory
-
128 KB-512 KB flash. Fast access, high reliability with four-level security protection
-
32 KB-128 KB of SRAM
-
FlexMemory: 32 bytes-4 KB of user-segmentable byte write/erase EEPROM for data tables/system data. EEPROM with over 10M cycles and flash with 70 µsec write time (brownouts without data loss/corruption). No user or system intervention to complete programming and erase functions and full operation down to 1.71 volts. In addition, up to 256 KB can be used for extra program code, data or EEPROM backup
Mixed-Signal Capability
-
Two high-speed 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with configurable resolution. Single or differential output mode operation for improved noise rejection. 500 ns conversion time achievable with programmable delay block triggering
-
Up to two 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for analog waveform generation for audio applications
-
Three high-speed comparators providing fast and accurate motor over-current protection by driving PWMs to a safe state
-
Analog voltage reference provides an accurate reference to analog blocks, ADC and DAC, and replaces external voltage references to reduce system cost
Performance
