NXP Semiconductors MK10DN64VMP5

Overview

MK10DN64VMP5 from NXP Semiconductors is a 50 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 core microcontroller with DSP extensions, 64 KB program flash, 16 KB RAM, and -40 to 105°C operating temperature range. It integrates 16-bit SAR ADC, dual analog comparators with 6-bit DACs, real-time clock, eight-channel PWM timer, and three UART interfaces - deployed in industrial motor control and sensor-edge gateway applications.

For engineers reviewing the MK10DN64VMP5 datasheet, MK10DN64VMP5 pinout, MK10DN64VMP5 application, or MK10DN64VMP5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its FlexMemory-free flash-only architecture, 64-pin MAPBGA package, 1.71–3.6 V supply range, low-leakage stop modes down to 0.176 µA, and support for EzPort serial programming.

Technical Context

The MK10DN64VMP5 implements a single-core Cortex-M4 CPU with hardware DSP instructions and no FPU. Its clock system includes a 3–32 MHz crystal oscillator, 32 kHz RTC oscillator, and multi-purpose clock generator supporting FEI, FBE, and BLPE modes - enabling dynamic frequency scaling between 50 MHz (RUN) and 4 MHz (VLPR).

Peripheral integration centers on deterministic real-time control: an 8-channel motor-control/PWM timer with complementary outputs, two quadrature decoder timers, programmable delay block, and carrier modulator transmitter for IR/inductive signaling. Analog subsystem comprises one 16-bit SAR ADC (up to 1 MSPS), two CMP modules each with internal 6-bit DAC and programmable reference, and dedicated voltage reference buffer.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DN64VMP5?

The MK10DN64VMP5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz. This is achieved using the internal MCG clock generator in FEI (FLL Engaged Internal) mode with a 32.768 kHz reference or external crystal. The device supports lower-frequency low-power modes including VLPR (4 MHz) and LLS (32 kHz), enabling dynamic power/performance trade-offs in battery-operated applications. MK10DN64VMP5 does not support frequencies above 50 MHz.

Does the MK10DN64VMP5 include FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM)?

No, the MK10DN64VMP5 does not include FlexMemory. Its part number decoding confirms "N" in the flash type field, indicating program flash only - 64 KB of main flash memory with no additional FlexNVM or FlexRAM. This distinguishes it from the MK10DX64VMP5 ("X" = flash + FlexMemory), which provides 4 KB FlexNVM for EEPROM emulation and 2 KB FlexRAM for fast data buffering. MK10DN64VMP5 uses standard flash sectors for all code and data storage.

What package type and dimensions does the MK10DN64VMP5 use?

The MK10DN64VMP5 uses a 64-ball MAPBGA package (package code "MP"), with 5 mm × 5 mm body size and 0.5 mm ball pitch. It complies with JEDEC MO-277 standards and has moisture sensitivity level 3. This compact, thermally efficient package supports high I/O density and is compatible with standard PCB assembly processes including reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. MK10DN64VMP5 is not offered in LQFP or QFN variants.

Which communication interfaces are supported by the MK10DN64VMP5?

The MK10DN64VMP5 supports SPI (DSPI), I²C, three UART modules (UART0–UART2), and I²S audio interface. It does not include USB, CAN, or Ethernet controllers. Each UART supports hardware flow control, 16-level FIFOs, and automatic baud rate detection. The DSPI module operates across the full 1.71–3.6 V supply range and supports master/slave modes with configurable frame format. MK10DN64VMP5 lacks native CAN FD or USB OTG functionality - those require external transceivers or companion ICs.

What is the minimum supply voltage required to retain RAM contents in the MK10DN64VMP5?

The MK10DN64VMP5 requires a minimum VDD of 1.2 V to retain RAM contents during low-power states. This specification is defined in the "Nonswitching electrical specifications" section of the K10P64M50SF0 datasheet (Table 1, VRAM parameter). Below 1.2 V, RAM data is not guaranteed to be preserved - critical for applications relying on state retention during brown-out or backup-battery transitions. MK10DN64VMP5 also supports VBAT-supplied RTC register retention down to 1.71 V, independent of main supply.
