Product details
Overview
MK10DN128VLF5 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a 50 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 core microcontroller with DSP extensions, 128 KB program flash, 16 KB RAM, and integrated analog peripherals including a 16-bit SAR ADC and two analog comparators. It operates from 1.71–3.6 V across –40 to 105°C and targets industrial motor control, sensor fusion, and low-power embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DN128VLF5 datasheet, MK10DN128VLF5 pinout, MK10DN128VLF5 application, or MK10DN128VLF5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its FlexMemory-free configuration (flash-only), LQFP-48 package, 50 MHz real-time performance, low-leakage stop modes down to 0.176 µA, and dual-oscillator clocking with 3–32 MHz crystal support.
Technical Context
The MK10DN128VLF5 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with hardware DSP instructions and no FPU, delivering 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz. Its memory subsystem includes 128 KB on-chip flash (no FlexNVM/FlexRAM), 16 KB SRAM, and EzPort serial programming interface.
System-level features include a multi-purpose clock generator supporting internal/external oscillators (3–32 MHz main, 32 kHz RTC), eight-channel PWM timer, quadrature decoder, real-time clock, and three UARTs. Power management supports seven low-power modes - including VLLS0 with POR detect disabled - enabling sub-microamp operation in battery-backed applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MK10DX128VLF5 | Includes FlexMemory (32 KB FlexNVM + 2 KB FlexRAM); same core, package, and peripherals | Required when EEPROM emulation or data logging to nonvolatile memory is needed | Select MK10DX128VLF5 if field-upgradable parameter storage or wear-leveling data logging is required; otherwise MK10DN128VLF5 reduces BOM cost. |
| KL27Z128VLH4 | ARM Cortex-M0+ core @ 48 MHz; 128 KB flash; 16 KB RAM; lower power but no DSP instructions | Suitable for simpler control tasks where DSP acceleration is unnecessary | Choose KL27Z128VLH4 for ultra-low-power sensor nodes without motor control or FFT processing; MK10DN128VLF5 retains full M4/DSP capability for complex algorithms. |
Compared with MK10DX128VLF5, the MK10DN128VLF5 eliminates FlexMemory to reduce cost and silicon area while retaining identical timing, peripherals, and low-power behavior - making it optimal for fixed-parameter firmware deployments. Against KL27Z128VLH4, it trades higher active power for deterministic DSP throughput and richer analog integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN128VLF5?
The MK10DN128VLF5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz. This is achieved using the internal MCG clock generator with external crystal (3–32 MHz) or internal reference, and is validated across the full –40 to 105°C temperature range and 1.71–3.6 V supply voltage. The MK10DN128VLF5 does not support overclocking beyond this rated frequency.
Does the MK10DN128VLF5 include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?
No, the MK10DN128VLF5 does not include FlexMemory. The 'N' in the part number explicitly denotes "program flash only", distinguishing it from 'X' variants like MK10DX128VLF5 which integrate 32 KB FlexNVM and 2 KB FlexRAM. All 128 KB of nonvolatile storage on the MK10DN128VLF5 is standard program flash with no EEPROM emulation capability.
What package type and pin count does the MK10DN128VLF5 use?
The MK10DN128VLF5 uses a 48-pin LQFP package (7 mm × 7 mm), indicated by the 'LF' suffix in the part number. This package is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and rated at moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3). Pin assignments follow the K10 Sub-Family pinout specification, with dedicated VDDA/VSSA, EXTAL/XTAL, and RTC_XTAL32 pins for analog and timing integrity.
Can the MK10DN128VLF5 operate in extended temperature environments?
Yes, the MK10DN128VLF5 is rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C ambient temperature, as confirmed by its 'V' temperature grade designation. This makes it suitable for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and outdoor energy infrastructure where thermal resilience is critical. All electrical specifications - including flash write endurance and ADC accuracy - are guaranteed across this full range.
What low-power modes are supported by the MK10DN128VLF5?
The MK10DN128VLF5 supports seven low-power modes: RUN, WAIT, VLPR, STOP, VLPS, LLS, and VLLS (0–3). Its lowest operational current is 0.176 µA in VLLS0 mode with POR detect disabled - verified at –40 to 25°C and 3.0 V. These modes enable flexible trade-offs between wake-up latency, peripheral retention, and current draw for battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications.
