NXP Semiconductors MK10DN32VMP5

Overview

MK10DN32VMP5 from NXP Semiconductors is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core microcontroller with DSP extensions, operating up to 50 MHz, featuring 32 KB program flash, 16 KB RAM, and integrated analog peripherals including a 16-bit SAR ADC and two analog comparators. It supports industrial motor control and sensor interface applications across –40°C to 105°C ambient temperature.

For engineers reviewing the MK10DN32VMP5 datasheet, MK10DN32VMP5 pinout, MK10DN32VMP5 application, or MK10DN32VMP5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its FlexMemory-free configuration (flash-only), 64-pin MAPBGA package, VMP5 speed grade (50 MHz), and extended temperature range - all critical for embedded control in harsh environments.

Technical Context

The MK10DN32VMP5 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with hardware DSP instructions and no FPU, paired with a multi-purpose clock generator supporting 3–32 MHz crystal and 32 kHz RTC oscillators. Its memory subsystem includes 32 KB on-chip flash, 16 KB SRAM, and no FlexNVM/FlexRAM - distinguishing it from X-suffix variants.

Peripherals include eight-channel PWM timers, dual quadrature decoder timers, real-time clock, I²C, SPI, three UARTs, I²S, and a low-power hardware touch sensing interface (TSI). Power management features four low-leakage stop modes with sub-μA current draw at 3.0 V, enabling battery-backed operation.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN32VMP5?

The MK10DN32VMP5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz, as confirmed by its '5' speed grade suffix and the K10 Sub-Family datasheet (Rev. 5, 10/2023). This frequency is achievable across the full –40°C to +105°C temperature range when supplied within the 1.71–3.6 V operating voltage window and using appropriate clock source configurations such as the internal MCG in PEE mode.

Does the MK10DN32VMP5 include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?

No, the MK10DN32VMP5 does not include FlexMemory. Its part number suffix 'N' explicitly denotes 'program flash only', distinguishing it from 'X'-suffix variants like MK10DX32VMP5. The device contains 32 KB of program flash and 16 KB of SRAM, with no dedicated FlexNVM or FlexRAM blocks - verified in the K10 Sub-Family datasheet section 2.3 (Fields) and memory architecture description.

What package type is used for the MK10DN32VMP5?

The MK10DN32VMP5 uses a 64-pin MAPBGA package with 5 mm × 5 mm body size and 0.5 mm pitch, identified by the 'MP' package code in its part number. This is documented in the K10 Sub-Family datasheet Table 2.3 (Package identifier), where 'MP' maps to '64 MAPBGA (5 mm x 5 mm)', and confirmed in the mechanical drawings section (Section 7) and pinout tables (Section 8).

Which communication interfaces are supported by the MK10DN32VMP5?

The MK10DN32VMP5 supports SPI, I²C, three UART modules, and I²S - all listed in the K10 Sub-Family datasheet 'Communication interfaces' section. It does not include USB, CAN, or Ethernet controllers. Each interface is implemented as a dedicated peripheral block with DMA support, and pin assignments are configurable via the device's signal multiplexing scheme described in Section 8.1.

What is the minimum supply voltage required to retain RAM contents in the MK10DN32VMP5?

The MK10DN32VMP5 requires a minimum VDD of 1.2 V to retain RAM contents, as specified in Table 1 (Voltage and current operating requirements) of the K10 Sub-Family datasheet under parameter 'VRAM'. This retention voltage applies during low-power stop modes (e.g., VLLS0–VLLS3) and is independent of VDDA, which must remain within 1.71–3.6 V for analog functionality.
