Product details
Overview
MK10DX128VLL7 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a Kinetis K10-series 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with DSP extension, 128 KB flash, 72 MHz max CPU frequency, and -40°C to 105°C industrial temperature range. It integrates dual 16-bit SAR ADCs with PGA, 12-bit DAC, CAN, five UARTs, and low-power modes for embedded control in motor drives and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DX128VLL7 datasheet, MK10DX128VLL7 pinout, MK10DX128VLL7 application, or MK10DX128VLL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 72 MHz Cortex-M4 core, 128 KB FlexMemory-enabled flash, 100-pin LQFP package, CAN 2.0B interface, and support for VLPS/VLLS low-power stop modes down to 1.47 µA.
Technical Context
The MK10DX128VLL7 implements the ARM Cortex-M4 core with DSP instructions and no FPU. Its clock system includes a 3–32 MHz main crystal oscillator, 32 kHz RTC oscillator, and multi-purpose clock generator supporting FEE/FEI/BLPE/FBE modes. The MCG provides flexible PLL-based frequency synthesis up to 72 MHz.
Peripheral integration centers on deterministic real-time control: eight-channel TPM/PWM timer, two quadrature decoder timers, programmable delay block, carrier modulator transmitter, and hardware CRC module. Analog subsystem comprises two independent 16-bit ADCs each with integrated PGA (x1–x64), 12-bit DAC, three analog comparators with internal 6-bit DACs, and voltage reference.

The MK10DX128VLL7 supports six low-power modes: RUN, WAIT, VLPR, STOP, VLPS, and three Very-Low-Leakage Stop (VLLS1–VLLS3) modes. In VLLS3 mode, it achieves as low as 1.9 µA at –40°C to 25°C while retaining RTC operation and RAM retention. Wakeup sources include GPIO, ADC completion, RTC alarm, and CAN bus activity - critical for battery-powered edge devices.
How much Flash and RAM does the MK10DX128VLL7 have?
The MK10DX128VLL7 contains 128 KB of on-chip program flash memory and 16 KB of SRAM. Its flash includes FlexMemory capability - a portion can be configured as EEPROM-emulated data storage with hardware wear leveling and atomic write protection, eliminating need for external serial EEPROM in many designs.
What analog peripherals are integrated into the MK10DX128VLL7?
The MK10DX128VLL7 integrates two independent 16-bit SAR ADCs, each with a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) offering gains from x1 to x64; a 12-bit DAC; three analog comparators (each with a built-in 6-bit DAC and programmable reference); and a precision voltage reference module.
