Product details
Overview
MK10DN128VFT5 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a 50 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 core microcontroller with DSP extensions, 128 KB on-chip flash, 16 KB RAM, and integrated analog peripherals including a 16-bit SAR ADC and two analog comparators with 6-bit DACs. It operates from 1.71–3.6 V across –40 to 105°C and targets industrial motor control and sensor-edge applications requiring deterministic real-time response.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DN128VFT5 datasheet, MK10DN128VFT5 pinout, MK10DN128VFT5 application, or MK10DN128VFT5 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated low-power mode behavior, confirmed QFN-48 package mapping, and precise peripheral interface capabilities - all tied exclusively to the MK10DN128VFT5 variant.
Technical Context
The MK10DN128VFT5 implements a single-core ARM Cortex-M4 CPU with hardware DSP instructions and no FPU. Its clock system includes a 3–32 MHz crystal oscillator, 32 kHz RTC oscillator, and multi-purpose clock generator supporting multiple PLL and internal oscillator modes (FEI, FBE, BLPE).
It integrates eight-channel PWM timers, two quadrature decoder timers, real-time clock, carrier modulator transmitter, and three UARTs - all synchronized to a maximum 50 MHz system clock. Memory subsystem comprises 128 KB program flash, 16 KB SRAM, and no FlexNVM/FlexRAM ('N' in part number denotes flash-only configuration).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core | ARM Cortex-M4 @ 50 MHz with DSP instructions - delivers 62.5 DMIPS and supports signal processing in real-time control loops. |
| Flash / RAM | 128 KB program flash, 16 KB SRAM - sufficient for closed-loop motor control firmware with safety monitoring and communication stacks. |
| ADC | 16-bit SAR ADC with configurable resolution and sampling rate - enables high-accuracy current/voltage sensing in power electronics. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +105°C ambient - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial drive environments without derating. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.71 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single Li-ion, 3.3 V, or regulated 2.5 V rails; supports brown-out detection thresholds at 1.54–2.64 V. |
| Low-Power Modes | VLLS0 current as low as 0.176 µA (POR disabled) - enables battery-backed RTC and wake-on-event operation for >10-year coin-cell life. |
| Package | 48-pin QFN (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - surface-mount footprint optimized for compact motor driver PCBs with thermal pad grounding. |
Pinout & Package
48-pin QFN package (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (pin 49, connected to VSS). Pin assignments follow K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet Rev. 4, Table 8-2 (VFT5 variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VDDA, VREFH | Digital/analog supply and reference inputs | Separate 1.71–3.6 V supplies required; VDDA must track VDD within ±0.1 V for ADC accuracy. |
| VSS, VSSA, VREFL | Digital/analog ground and reference returns | VSSA and VSS must be connected with low-inductance path; VREFL ties to analog ground for ratiometric ADC operation. |
| PTA0–PTA31, PTB0–PTB17 | General-purpose I/O with multiplexed peripherals | Up to 48 GPIOs; each supports interrupt, DMA request, and programmable slew rate/driver strength for EMI control. |
| EXTAL/XTAL, RTC_CLKIN | Crystal oscillator inputs | Supports 3–32 MHz main crystal and 32.768 kHz RTC crystal - essential for time-critical PWM synchronization and timestamping. |
| UART0_TX/RX, UART1_TX/RX, UART2_TX/RX | Asynchronous serial interfaces | Three independent UARTs support bootloader, debug console, and host communication simultaneously without software arbitration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware CRC module | Accelerates checksum calculation for firmware OTA updates and data integrity verification in noisy industrial networks. |
| Eight-channel PWM timer | Generates complementary, dead-time-adjusted outputs for 3-phase inverter gate drivers with fault protection input mapping. |
| Two analog comparators with 6-bit DAC | Enable fast overcurrent/overvoltage trip detection with programmable hysteresis and reference generation - bypassing CPU latency. |
| Low-leakage wakeup unit | Wakes CPU from VLLS0/VLLS1 in ≤70 µs using GPIO, RTC alarm, or comparator output - critical for responsive fault recovery. |
| 128-bit unique chip ID | Provides immutable device identity for secure boot key binding and field firmware authentication in certified systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN128VFT5?
The MK10DN128VFT5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz. This is fixed by its '5' suffix and confirmed in the K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet Rev. 4, Table 9. The device achieves 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz, delivering 62.5 DMIPS performance for deterministic real-time tasks without overclocking.
Does the MK10DN128VFT5 include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?
No, the MK10DN128VFT5 does not include FlexMemory. The 'N' in its part number explicitly denotes "program flash only" configuration. It provides 128 KB of program flash and 16 KB of SRAM, but lacks the 32 KB FlexNVM and 2 KB FlexRAM found in 'X'-suffixed variants like MK10DX128VFT5.
What package type and pin count does the MK10DN128VFT5 use?
The MK10DN128VFT5 uses a 48-pin QFN package (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with an exposed thermal pad. This is confirmed by the 'FT' field in its part number per K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet Section 2.3, and matches pinout Table 8-2 in Rev. 4 for VFT5 variants.
What is the operating temperature range for the MK10DN128VFT5?
The MK10DN128VFT5 is rated for an ambient operating temperature range of –40°C to +105°C. This is indicated by the 'V' in its part number and verified in Section 4.1 of the K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet Rev. 4, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and industrial drive applications.
Which communication interfaces are integrated into the MK10DN128VFT5?
The MK10DN128VFT5 integrates SPI, I²C, three UART modules, and I²S. It does not include USB or CAN controllers. These interfaces are documented in Section 6.8 of the K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet Rev. 4 and support sensor interfacing, debug communication, and host connectivity in resource-constrained edge devices.
