Product details
Overview
MK10DN64VLF5 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core microcontroller with DSP extensions, operating up to 50 MHz, featuring 64 KB program flash, 16 KB RAM, and integrated analog peripherals including a 16-bit SAR ADC and two analog comparators. It targets industrial control, motor drive, and sensor interface applications requiring deterministic real-time performance and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DN64VLF5 datasheet, MK10DN64VLF5 pinout, MK10DN64VLF5 application, or MK10DN64VLF5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40°C to +105°C temperature grade, 48-pin LQFP package, FlexMemory absence (N-suffix), and support for multiple low-power modes including VLLS0 with sub-μA stop current.
Technical Context
The MK10DN64VLF5 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with hardware DSP instructions and no FPU (D-suffix), paired with a multi-purpose clock generator supporting crystal oscillators at 3–32 MHz and 32 kHz. Its memory subsystem includes 64 KB on-chip flash, 16 KB SRAM, and no FlexNVM/FlexRAM (N-suffix denotes flash-only configuration).
System-level features include a 4-channel DMA controller servicing up to 41 request sources, hardware CRC module, 128-bit unique chip ID, and comprehensive low-power architecture with seven distinct power modes - from RUN to VLLS0 - enabling sub-1 μA retention in very-low-leakage stop mode with POR detect disabled.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MK10DN64VLH5 | Same core, flash, RAM, and peripherals but in 64-pin LQFP (10 mm × 10 mm) package - adds 16 extra GPIOs and additional UART/I²C channels | Required when board layout needs more I/O or routing flexibility; not pin-compatible due to larger footprint and different pin mapping | Select MK10DN64VLH5 only if additional GPIOs or peripheral instances are needed and PCB redesign is acceptable. |
| MK20DN64VLF5 | Successor K20 series part with identical 48-LQFP package, same 64 KB flash/16 KB RAM, but upgraded to 72 MHz Cortex-M4 with FPU (F-suffix) and enhanced USB OTG support | Preferred for new designs needing higher compute throughput, floating-point math, or USB device/host capability - requires firmware adaptation | Choose MK20DN64VLF5 for future-proofing where FPU or USB is required; MK10DN64VLF5 remains optimal for cost-sensitive, non-USB legacy designs. |
Compared with MK10DN64VLH5, the MK10DN64VLF5 offers identical functionality in a smaller 48-pin LQFP, reducing PCB area and cost; compared with MK20DN64VLF5, it trades 22 MHz speed and FPU for lower power consumption and mature toolchain support - making it ideal for stable, resource-constrained industrial firmware.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN64VLF5?
The MK10DN64VLF5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz, delivering 62.5 DMIPS and 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz. This frequency is supported across its full operating voltage range (1.71–3.6 V) and temperature range (-40°C to +105°C), with flash access configured for zero wait states at 50 MHz when using the recommended 25 MHz flash clock.
Does the MK10DN64VLF5 include FlexMemory?
No, the MK10DN64VLF5 does not include FlexMemory. The 'N' in the part number suffix indicates program flash only - meaning it contains 64 KB of main program flash and 16 KB of SRAM, but no FlexNVM or FlexRAM. Devices with FlexMemory use the 'X' suffix (e.g., MK10DX64VLF5), which adds configurable EEPROM-like storage and additional RAM.
What package type is used for the MK10DN64VLF5?
The MK10DN64VLF5 uses a 48-pin LQFP package (7 mm × 7 mm), identified by the 'LF' in the part number. This surface-mount package features gull-wing leads, is RoHS-compliant, and has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 3 per J-STD-020 - requiring bake-out if exposed beyond floor life before reflow.
Can the MK10DN64VLF5 operate from a 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the MK10DN64VLF5 supports a minimum supply voltage of 1.71 V, making it fully operational at 1.8 V. At this voltage, it achieves up to 50 MHz operation with appropriate clock configuration, and its low-power modes (e.g., VLPR, VLLS0) maintain full functionality - enabling compatibility with energy-harvesting systems and single-cell Li-ion battery applications.
How many UART interfaces does the MK10DN64VLF5 support?
The MK10DN64VLF5 integrates three independent UART modules, each with full-duplex operation, programmable baud rates, and support for RS-232/RS-485 transceivers via GPIO-controlled direction control. These UARTs can be assigned to different pin multiplexing options, allowing concurrent use for debug console, fieldbus communication, and sensor telemetry without software arbitration.
