It features dual crystal oscillators (3–32 MHz main, 32 kHz RTC), multi-purpose clock generator (MCG), and comprehensive low-power support including VLLS0–VLLS3 stop modes with sub-μA current draw. Analog integration comprises a 16-bit SAR ADC, two analog comparators with 6-bit DACs, and programmable reference inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | ARM Cortex-M4 with DSP extension, no FPU - enables deterministic real-time signal processing without floating-point overhead. |
| Max Operating Frequency | 50 MHz - delivers 62.5 MIPS peak integer performance and supports time-critical motor control loops. |
| Flash Memory | 32 KB program flash only (no FlexNVM) - sufficient for compact firmware with bootloader and safety monitoring code. |
| RAM Size | 16 KB SRAM - accommodates real-time data buffers, stack, and RTOS kernel for small-footprint embedded applications. |
| Operating Voltage | 1.71 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V industrial rails, and wide-input DC-DC converters. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +105°C - qualified for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial PLC edge nodes. |
| ADC Resolution | 16-bit SAR ADC - provides high-precision sensor acquisition (e.g., thermocouple, pressure transducer) without external amplifiers. |

FAQ
What is the maximum system clock frequency supported by the MK10DN32VFM5?
The MK10DN32VFM5 supports a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz, as specified in Table 9 of the K10P32M50SF0 datasheet Rev. 4. This frequency is achievable using the internal MCG in FEI or PBE modes with an external crystal, and enables 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz performance for deterministic real-time execution. The MK10DN32VFM5 does not support higher frequencies like 72 MHz or 100 MHz found in other K10 variants.
Does the MK10DN32VFM5 include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?
No, the MK10DN32VFM5 does not include FlexMemory. Per the part number decoding in Section 2.3 of the K10P32M50SF0 datasheet, the 'N' in position 5 indicates "Program flash only", confirming absence of FlexNVM and FlexRAM. It contains 32 KB of standard program flash and 16 KB of SRAM, with no user-reconfigurable EEPROM or additional RAM partitions.
What are the supported low-power modes for the MK10DN32VFM5, and what is the lowest current consumption?
The MK10DN32VFM5 supports multiple low-power modes including VLPR, VLPW, STOP, VLPS, LLS, and VLLS0–VLLS3. The lowest current draw is in VLLS0 mode with POR detect disabled: 0.176 μA at –40°C to 25°C and 3.0 V supply, as documented in Table 6 of the K10P32M50SF0 datasheet. This mode retains RAM and selected registers while disabling all clocks except the 32 kHz RTC oscillator.
Can the MK10DN32VFM5 operate from a single 3.3 V supply across its full temperature range?
Yes, the MK10DN32VFM5 is fully specified to operate from a 3.3 V supply across its entire industrial temperature range of –40°C to +105°C. The voltage operating requirement is 1.71 V to 3.6 V (Table 1), and all electrical characteristics-including ADC accuracy, flash programming, and timing parameters-are guaranteed at 3.3 V within this temperature span per the K10P32M50SF0 datasheet Rev. 4.
Which communication interfaces are integrated into the MK10DN32VFM5?
The MK10DN32VFM5 integrates SPI, I²C, three UART modules, and I²S interfaces. It does not include CAN, USB, or Ethernet controllers. The UART modules support standard asynchronous communication with programmable baud rates, while the I²S interface enables digital audio streaming to external codecs - making it suitable for voice-enabled edge devices and industrial HMIs requiring audio feedback.
