Product details
Overview
MK10DN128VFM5 from NXP (formerly Freescale) is an ARM Cortex-M4 core microcontroller with DSP extension, designed for embedded control applications requiring real-time signal processing and low-power operation. It features 128 KB on-chip flash, 16 KB RAM, operates at up to 50 MHz, supports -40°C to +105°C ambient temperature, and uses a 32-pin QFN (5 mm × 5 mm) package.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DN128VFM5 datasheet, MK10DN128VFM5 pinout, MK10DN128VFM5 application, or MK10DN128VFM5 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed low-power mode behavior, exact memory partitioning (flash/FlexRAM), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for industrial motor control, sensor fusion, and battery-powered HMI designs.
Technical Context
The MK10DN128VFM5 implements a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core with hardware DSP instructions and no FPU. Its clock system includes a multi-purpose clock generator (MCG) supporting internal and external oscillators (3–32 MHz main, 32 kHz RTC), enabling flexible low-power mode transitions including VLLS0 with POR detect enabled (0.367 μA typical).
It integrates a 16-bit SAR ADC with configurable resolution and sampling rate, two analog comparators each with integrated 6-bit DAC and programmable reference, and eight-channel PWM timer with motor control support. Communication interfaces include three UARTs, SPI, I²C, and I²S - all fully specified across voltage (1.71–3.6 V) and temperature (-40°C to 105°C) ranges.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MK10DN128VLH5 | 64-pin LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm) package; identical core, memory, and peripherals - larger footprint with more GPIO and ADC channels | Preferred when board layout requires >32 GPIOs or additional analog inputs; not drop-in due to different pin count and pitch | Select MK10DN128VLH5 only if extra I/O or thermal mass from LQFP is required; MK10DN128VFM5 remains optimal for space-constrained designs. |
| MKE14Z128VLH7 | ARM Cortex-M0+ core, 128 KB flash, 16 KB RAM, same 64-pin LQFP package but lower max frequency (72 MHz vs. 50 MHz), no DSP extension | Better suited for cost-sensitive, non-DSP applications like basic lighting control; lacks hardware multiply-accumulate for motor control | Choose MKE14Z128VLH7 only for simpler control tasks without real-time signal processing; MK10DN128VFM5 retains advantage for DSP-intensive workloads. |
Compared with MK10DN128VLH5 and MKE14Z128VLH7, the MK10DN128VFM5 uniquely balances compact 32-pin QFN packaging, Cortex-M4 DSP capability, and industrial temperature range - making it the only option among the three qualified for space-constrained, computation-heavy, and thermally demanding embedded control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN128VFM5?
The MK10DN128VFM5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz, as specified in the K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet (Rev. 4, Table 9). This frequency is achievable across the full -40°C to +105°C temperature range when supplied with 1.71–3.6 V, and delivers 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz for deterministic real-time execution. The MK10DN128VFM5 does not support overclocking beyond this rated limit.
Does the MK10DN128VFM5 include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?
No, the MK10DN128VFM5 does not include FlexMemory. The 'N' in its part number (MK10DN128VFM5) explicitly denotes "program flash only", per the K10 part numbering guide (Section 2.3). It contains 128 KB of main program flash and 16 KB of general-purpose RAM, but no FlexNVM or FlexRAM - unlike 'X'-suffix variants such as MK10DX128VFM5 which do integrate FlexMemory.
What are the lowest-power stop modes supported by the MK10DN128VFM5?
The MK10DN128VFM5 supports Very-Low-Leakage Stop (VLLS) modes down to VLLS0, with typical current consumption of 0.367 μA when POR detect is enabled and 0.176 μA when disabled (at 3.0 V, -40°C to 25°C). These modes retain RAM and selected registers while allowing wake-up via RTC alarm, GPIO, or LPUART - critical for ultra-low-power sensor and metering applications where battery life exceeds five years.
Which communication interfaces are available on the MK10DN128VFM5?
The MK10DN128VFM5 integrates three UART modules, one SPI (DSPI), one I²C, and one I²S interface - all electrically characterized across 1.71–3.6 V and -40°C to +105°C. UART supports LIN physical layer compliance; DSPI supports both limited and full voltage-range switching; I²C meets standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) specs. No USB or Ethernet PHY is integrated.
Is the MK10DN128VFM5 pin-compatible with other K10 family members in the same package?
Yes, the MK10DN128VFM5 shares identical pinout and electrical characteristics with other K10 devices in the 32-pin QFN (FM) package, including MK10DN32VFM5, MK10DN64VFM5, MK10DX32VFM5, and MK10DX64VFM5 - as confirmed in K10P32M50SF0 Section 8.2. This allows hardware reuse across memory variants while maintaining identical PCB layout, signal routing, and thermal design.
