Product details
Overview
MK10DX64VLH5 from NXP Semiconductors is a 50 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with DSP extension, 64 KB program flash, 16 KB RAM, and FlexMemory (FlexNVM/FlexRAM) support. It integrates a 16-bit SAR ADC, dual analog comparators with 6-bit DACs, real-time clock, eight-channel PWM timer, and three UARTs. Designed for industrial control and sensor-edge applications requiring deterministic timing and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the MK10DX64VLH5 datasheet, MK10DX64VLH5 pinout, MK10DX64VLH5 application, or MK10DX64VLH5 equivalent, key selection considerations include its -40 to 105°C operating range, 1.71–3.6 V supply, LQFP-64 package, FlexMemory configurability, and integrated TSI for touch interfaces.
Technical Context
The MK10DX64VLH5 implements a full-featured Kinetis K10 sub-family architecture centered on an Arm Cortex-M4 core with hardware DSP instructions and single-cycle MAC. Its memory subsystem includes dedicated FlexNVM (for EEPROM emulation) and FlexRAM (for configurable data/program storage), managed via runtime reconfiguration without external components.
Clocking is supported by multiple oscillators: 3–32 MHz main crystal, 32 kHz RTC crystal, and internal multi-purpose clock generator (MCG) enabling dynamic mode switching between FEI, FBE, BLPE, and PEE modes. Peripheral clock gating and eight low-power modes-including VLLS0 with 0.176 µA retention-enable precise power/performance trade-offs in battery-constrained systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MK10DN64VLH5 | No FlexMemory; 64 KB flash only, no FlexNVM/FlexRAM - lacks EEPROM emulation capability. | Suitable for cost-sensitive applications where nonvolatile data storage is handled externally or not required. | Select MK10DN64VLH5 only if FlexMemory features are unused; otherwise MK10DX64VLH5 provides superior data retention flexibility. |
| KL27Z128VLH4 | ARM Cortex-M0+ core, 48 MHz, 128 KB flash, no FlexMemory, lower power (1.71–3.6 V) but no TSI or PDB. | Better for ultra-low-power sensor hubs without motor control or touch, but lacks advanced peripherals for real-time control. | Choose KL27Z128VLH4 for simpler, lower-cost designs lacking DSP, PWM timing precision, or touch interface needs. |
Compared with MK10DN64VLH5, MK10DX64VLH5 adds FlexMemory for embedded data logging; compared with KL27Z128VLH4, it delivers higher compute throughput, richer analog/timing peripherals, and integrated touch - making it optimal for mixed-signal edge controllers demanding both performance and configurability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DX64VLH5?
The MK10DX64VLH5 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 50 MHz. This is achieved using the internal MCG in PEE mode with an external 3–32 MHz crystal, delivering 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz. The flash clock is limited to 25 MHz, requiring wait states above that frequency for reliable instruction fetch.
Does the MK10DX64VLH5 support EEPROM emulation?
Yes, the MK10DX64VLH5 supports EEPROM emulation via its FlexMemory subsystem, which includes FlexNVM (for nonvolatile data storage) and FlexRAM (for fast data buffering). This allows runtime configuration of flash sectors as emulated EEPROM without external memory chips or wear-leveling firmware overhead.
What are the low-power modes available on the MK10DX64VLH5?
The MK10DX64VLH5 offers seven low-power modes: RUN, WAIT, VLPR, STOP, VLPS, LLS, and VLLS (with four sub-modes: VLLS0–VLLS3). VLLS0 draws as little as 0.176 µA at 3.0 V with POR enabled, while VLPS consumes 3.5 µA - all retaining RAM and selected peripheral registers for rapid wake-up.
Can the MK10DX64VLH5 drive a three-phase inverter directly?
The MK10DX64VLH5 supports three-phase inverter control through its eight-channel PWM module with complementary output pairs and programmable dead-time insertion. However, it requires external gate drivers (e.g., MC33GD3100) to interface with power MOSFETs/IGBTs - the MCU generates timing signals but does not provide high-current output stages.
Is the MK10DX64VLH5 qualified for automotive applications?
The MK10DX64VLH5 is specified for -40 to 105°C operation and manufactured on NXP's qualified automotive process, but it is not AEC-Q100 certified as a standalone part. For automotive use, system-level qualification and layout adherence to NXP AN4922 are required; design-in should follow NXP's automotive reference designs and qualification guidelines.
