FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN128VMP5?

The MK10DN128VMP5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz, as specified in its MCG and device clock specifications. This frequency is achievable across the full -40 to 105°C temperature range and 1.71–3.6 V supply voltage, delivering 62.5 DMIPS performance. The MK10DN128VMP5 does not support higher-frequency variants like the 72 MHz or 100 MHz K10 derivatives.

Does the MK10DN128VMP5 include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?

No, the MK10DN128VMP5 does not include FlexMemory. Its part number encoding confirms "N" in the flash type field (MK10DN128…), indicating program flash only - 128 KB flash with no emulated EEPROM or on-chip data flash. In contrast, MK10DX128VMP5 uses "X" to denote FlexMemory inclusion. The MK10DN128VMP5 relies on external nonvolatile storage or SRAM backup for parameter retention.

What package type and pin count does the MK10DN128VMP5 use?

The MK10DN128VMP5 uses a 64-pin MAPBGA package (5 mm × 5 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad, identified by "MP" in its part number suffix. This package is distinct from LQFP variants (e.g., "LH") and supports high-density PCB layouts with superior thermal performance for sustained 50 MHz operation in enclosed industrial enclosures.

Can the MK10DN128VMP5 operate across the full industrial temperature range?

Yes, the MK10DN128VMP5 is rated for -40 to 105°C ambient temperature operation, as indicated by the "V" in its temperature field (MK10DN128VMP5). This qualification meets industrial and extended-temperature automotive requirements, and its power consumption behavior (e.g., IDD_VLLS0 ≤ 1.0 µA at 105°C) is characterized across this full range per NXP's K10P64M50SF0 datasheet.

Which communication interfaces are integrated into the MK10DN128VMP5?

The MK10DN128VMP5 integrates three UART modules, one SPI module (DSPI), one I²C module, and one I²S module - all accessible via multiplexed GPIO pins. These interfaces support standard protocols including Modbus RTU (UART), sensor communication (I²C), audio streaming (I²S), and high-speed peripheral control (SPI). No CAN or Ethernet MAC is included; those require external transceivers or companion ICs.
