Product details
Overview
MK10DX128VLH7 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a Kinetis K10-series ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with DSP extension, 128 KB flash, 64 KB RAM, and 72 MHz max CPU frequency. It integrates dual 16-bit SAR ADCs with PGA, 12-bit DAC, CAN, three UARTs, two I²C, SPI, I²S, RTC, and TSI for touch sensing - deployed in industrial motor control and smart sensor nodes.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DX128VLH7 datasheet, MK10DX128VLH7 pinout, MK10DX128VLH7 application, or MK10DX128VLH7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +105°C extended temperature grade, 64-pin LQFP package, FlexMemory support, low-power stop modes down to 1.47 µA, and integrated analog subsystem for closed-loop control without external signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The MK10DX128VLH7 implements a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 core with DSP instructions and no FPU, operating at up to 72 MHz via the Multipurpose Clock Generator (MCG) supporting internal/external oscillators (3–32 MHz crystal, 32 kHz RTC crystal). Its memory subsystem includes 128 KB program flash with FlexMemory capability, 64 KB SRAM, and hardware CRC acceleration.
Peripherals are organized around a high-speed AHB bus matrix and multiple APB bridges: dual ADCs share dedicated PGA stages and reference sources; the FlexCAN module supports ISO 11898-1 compliant communication; and the TSI module enables capacitive touch sensing with low-leakage wakeup. Power management includes six low-power modes (VLPR/VLPS/LLS/VLLS), with VLLS1 current as low as 1.47 µA at 3.0 V.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DX128VLH7?
The MK10DX128VLH7 operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 72 MHz, achieved using the Multipurpose Clock Generator (MCG) in FEE mode with an external 8 MHz crystal and PLL multiplication. This frequency is fully supported across the full -40°C to +105°C ambient temperature range and 1.71 V to 3.6 V supply voltage range, as verified in the K10P64M72SF1 datasheet Section 5.3.1.
Does the MK10DX128VLH7 support CAN FD or only classical CAN?
The MK10DX128VLH7 supports only classical CAN 2.0B (ISO 11898-1), not CAN FD. Its FlexCAN module implements transmit/receive buffers, message filtering, and loopback self-test but lacks the variable bit rate and extended data length capabilities of CAN FD. This is confirmed in Section 6.8.1 of the K10P64M72SF1 datasheet and the device's peripheral feature list.
What is the minimum supply voltage required to retain RAM contents during low-power modes on the MK10DX128VLH7?
The MK10DX128VLH7 requires a minimum VDD of 1.2 V to retain RAM contents, as specified in Table 1 (Section 5.2.1) of the K10P64M72SF1 datasheet under the VRAM parameter. Below this threshold, SRAM data is not guaranteed, though the device may remain in VLLS modes with VDD as low as 0.95 V when powered solely by VBAT for RTC retention.
How many ADC channels does the MK10DX128VLH7 support, and what is their resolution?
The MK10DX128VLH7 integrates two independent 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADCs (ADC0 and ADC1), each supporting up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential input channels. Both ADCs include a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with gains from 1× to 64×, and conversion results are accessible via DMA or CPU polling - detailed in Section 6.6.1 of the K10P64M72SF1 datasheet.
Is the MK10DX128VLH7 pin-compatible with other K10 family members like the MK10DX64VLH7?
Yes, the MK10DX128VLH7 is pin-compatible with MK10DX64VLH7 and MK10DX256VLH7 in the same 64-pin LQFP (LH) package. All share identical pin assignments, electrical characteristics, and peripheral multiplexing - enabling scalable memory upgrades without PCB redesign. This compatibility is explicitly stated in the K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet ordering section and validated in the K10 Pinouts chapter (Section 8.2).
