Product details
Overview
MK10DN128VLH5R from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core microcontroller with DSP extensions, operating up to 50 MHz, featuring 128 KB program flash, 16 KB RAM, and -40 to 105°C industrial temperature range. It integrates 16-bit SAR ADC, dual analog comparators with 6-bit DACs, real-time clock, and multiple low-power modes for embedded control in motor drives and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DN128VLH5R datasheet, MK10DN128VLH5R pinout, MK10DN128VLH5R application, or MK10DN128VLH5R equivalent, key selection considerations include its FlexMemory-free configuration (flash-only), 64-pin LQFP package, 50 MHz max CPU frequency, and support for UART/I²C/SPI/TSI peripherals in extended temperature environments.
Technical Context
The MK10DN128VLH5R implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with DSP instruction set and no FPU, executing at up to 50 MHz with 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS/MHz performance. Its memory subsystem includes 128 KB on-chip flash, 16 KB SRAM, and no FlexNVM/FlexRAM - confirmed by the 'N' in the part number denoting flash-only configuration.
It supports three oscillator sources: 3–32 MHz main crystal, 32 kHz RTC crystal, and internal multi-purpose clock generator. Power management includes eight low-power modes (RUN, WAIT, VLPR, STOP, VLPS, LLS, VLLS0–VLLS3), with VLLS0 current as low as 0.176 µA (POR disabled) at -40 to 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-M4 with DSP, no FPU - enables deterministic signal processing in motor control and sensor fusion without floating-point overhead. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 50 MHz - delivers 62.5 DMIPS performance suitable for real-time closed-loop control with sub-20 µs interrupt latency. |
| Flash Memory | 128 KB program flash only - supports firmware updates via EzPort and eliminates FlexMemory complexity for fixed-code applications. |
| RAM | 16 KB SRAM - sufficient for RTOS stacks, communication buffers, and control algorithm variables in compact embedded systems. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.71–3.6 V - allows direct interface with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V logic families and battery-powered operation down to single-cell LiFePO₄. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 64-pin LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm), lead pitch 0.5 mm, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 3 per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD, VSS | Digital power supply and ground | Core and I/O domain supply pins requiring local 100 nF + 4.7 µF decoupling; VDD must remain within 1.71–3.6 V across all operating modes. |
| VDDA, VSSA | Analog power supply and ground | Separate analog domain pins for ADC/CMP reference stability; differential voltage vs. VDD limited to ±0.1 V to prevent analog accuracy degradation. |
| EXTAL, XTAL | Main crystal oscillator input/output | Supports 3–32 MHz fundamental-mode crystals; requires external load capacitors (typically 12–22 pF) matched to crystal specs. |
| RTC_XTAL, RTC_EXTAL | 32 kHz RTC crystal terminals | Enable autonomous real-time clock operation during VLLS0–VLLS3 stop modes with battery backup via VBAT pin. |
| PTA0–PTA31, PTB0–PTB15, etc. | General-purpose I/O with multiplexed functions | Up to 54 GPIOs with configurable pull-up/pull-down (22–50 kΩ), slew rate, and drive strength; support TSI touch sensing on dedicated pins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware CRC module | Accelerates checksum calculation for firmware integrity verification and communication protocol framing without CPU overhead. |
| Low-leakage wakeup unit | Enables wake-from-VLLS0 on GPIO, RTC alarm, or LPUART activity with sub-µA quiescent current - critical for battery life in remote sensors. |
| Eight-channel PWM timer | Provides independent 16-bit channel control with dead-time insertion and fault protection for 3-phase motor gate drivers. |
| Quadrature decoder timer | Directly interfaces with incremental encoders for position/speed feedback in servo and BLDC systems without software polling. |
| Serial programming interface (EzPort) | Allows in-system flash reprogramming via SPI-compatible host controller - simplifies field firmware updates and manufacturing programming. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MK10DN128VLF5 | Same core, flash, RAM, and peripherals but in 48-pin LQFP (7 mm × 7 mm) package - 16 fewer GPIOs and no RTC_XTAL pins. | Limited pin count restricts simultaneous use of all communication interfaces and analog inputs; unsuitable for designs requiring RTC crystal or >38 GPIOs. | Select when board space is constrained and peripheral count is reduced; verify pin mapping against MK10DN128VLH5R's 64-pin assignment. |
| MKE15Z128VLH7 | ARM Cortex-M0+ core, 128 KB flash, 16 KB RAM, same 64-pin LQFP, but higher 72 MHz max frequency and enhanced analog (12-bit ADC @ 1.2 MS/s, 2× CMP). | Lower computational throughput than Cortex-M4 for DSP workloads; lacks hardware CRC and quadrature decoder - requires software emulation for encoder interfaces. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, non-DSP applications where higher ADC speed or lower active power (1.1 mA VLPR @ 48 MHz) outweighs M4 instruction advantages. |
Compared with MK10DN128VLH5R, MK10DN128VLF5 trades pin count and RTC capability for smaller footprint, while MKE15Z128VLH7 offers higher clock speed and ADC performance at the expense of DSP acceleration and encoder hardware - making MK10DN128VLH5R optimal for motor control and real-time signal processing where M4-specific instructions and integrated peripherals reduce firmware complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN128VLH5R?
The MK10DN128VLH5R operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 50 MHz, achieved using the internal MCG clock generator in FEI or PEE mode with a 3–32 MHz crystal. This frequency delivers 62.5 DMIPS performance and supports real-time execution of control loops with deterministic timing. The flash memory is rated for 25 MHz access, requiring wait states above that bus speed.
Does the MK10DN128VLH5R include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?
No, the MK10DN128VLH5R does not include FlexMemory. The 'N' in its part number explicitly denotes "program flash only" configuration, meaning it contains 128 KB of main program flash and 16 KB of SRAM, but no FlexNVM or FlexRAM. This eliminates EEPROM emulation complexity and reduces cost for applications requiring only fixed firmware storage.
What low-power modes are supported by the MK10DN128VLH5R?
The MK10DN128VLH5R supports eight low-power modes: RUN, WAIT, VLPR, STOP, VLPS, LLS, VLLS0, and VLLS1–VLLS3. VLLS0 achieves as low as 0.176 µA (with POR disabled) at -40 to 25°C, enabling decade-long battery life in RTC-backed applications. Wake-up sources include GPIO, RTC alarm, LPUART, and LLWU inputs - all configurable in hardware without CPU intervention.
Which communication interfaces are integrated into the MK10DN128VLH5R?
The MK10DN128VLH5R integrates three UART modules (including LPUART), one I²C module, one DSPI module, and one I²S module. All interfaces support DMA and low-power operation. The LPUART remains active in VLLS0/VLLS1 modes for wake-on-UART functionality, while DSPI and I²C operate across full voltage range (1.71–3.6 V) with programmable slew rates and drive strengths.
Is the MK10DN128VLH5R pin-compatible with other K10 family members?
The MK10DN128VLH5R uses a 64-pin LQFP (LH package) footprint shared with other K10 devices like MK10DN64VLH5 and MK10DX128VLH5, but pin functions differ due to variant-specific peripheral mappings. For example, TSI channels, ADC inputs, and PWM outputs are not identical across flash-size variants. Always consult the K10 Signal Multiplexing and Pin Assignments table in the reference manual before substituting.
