NXP Semiconductors MK10DX64VMC7

Overview

MK10DX64VMC7 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a Kinetis K10-series ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with DSP extension, designed for embedded control applications requiring real-time signal processing and low-power operation. It integrates 64 KB flash, 16 KB SRAM, dual 16-bit SAR ADCs with PGA, 12-bit DAC, CAN, five UARTs, and operates from 1.71–3.6 V at up to 72 MHz in industrial temperature range (–40 to 105°C).

For engineers reviewing the MK10DX64VMC7 datasheet, MK10DX64VMC7 pinout, MK10DX64VMC7 application, or MK10DX64VMC7 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, validated alternatives, and design-meaningful specifications - all confirmed for the exact MK10DX64VMC7 variant, not generic K10 family data.

Technical Context

The MK10DX64VMC7 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with hardware DSP instructions and single-cycle MAC, paired with a multi-purpose clock generator supporting crystal oscillators (3–32 MHz and 32 kHz), internal reference, and flexible PLL-based frequency synthesis. Its memory subsystem includes 64 KB on-chip flash with error correction and 16 KB SRAM with parity protection.

Peripherals are organized around a high-speed AHB bus matrix and include a 16-channel DMA controller, eight-channel PWM timer, two quadrature decoder timers, real-time clock, carrier modulator transmitter, and security modules including hardware CRC and 128-bit unique ID. All analog modules - ADCs, DAC, comparators, and voltage reference - share dedicated analog supply (VDDA) and ground (VSSA) pins for noise isolation.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK10DX64VMC7?

The MK10DX64VMC7 operates at a maximum system and core clock frequency of 72 MHz, as specified in the K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet (Rev. 3, 11/2012). This frequency is achievable using the internal PLL with a 3–32 MHz crystal input and requires proper decoupling and thermal management. The MK10DX64VMC7 maintains full peripheral functionality-including CAN, ADC, and PWM-at this speed.

Does the MK10DX64VMC7 support CAN FD or only classical CAN?

The MK10DX64VMC7 supports only Classical CAN 2.0B, not CAN FD. Its FlexCAN module complies with ISO 11898-1:2003 and supports bit rates up to 1 Mbps. CAN FD features such as variable data length and faster data phase are absent; this is confirmed by the absence of CAN FD registers, timing controls, and documentation references in the K10P100M72SF1 datasheet.

What package type does the MK10DX64VMC7 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?

The MK10DX64VMC7 uses a 121-pin MAPBGA package (8 mm × 8 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), identified by the "MC" suffix per NXP's part numbering scheme. It is RoHS-compliant and rated at Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 per J-STD-020, requiring bake prior to reflow if exposed beyond floor life.

How much SRAM does the MK10DX64VMC7 have, and is it parity-protected?

The MK10DX64VMC7 includes 16 KB of on-chip SRAM, and this memory is protected by parity checking as documented in Section 6.4.1 of the K10 Sub-Family Data Sheet. Parity errors trigger a hard fault exception, enabling robust error detection in safety-critical applications. The MK10DX64VMC7 does not include ECC or redundant memory.

Can the MK10DX64VMC7 operate from a single 3.3 V supply, and what are the analog supply requirements?

Yes, the MK10DX64VMC7 operates from a single 3.3 V supply across its full industrial temperature range (–40 to 105°C). However, analog functionality requires separate VDDA and VSSA connections, which must be within ±0.1 V of VDD and VSS respectively. The MK10DX64VMC7 specifies VDDA = 1.71–3.6 V, and noise on VDDA directly impacts 16-bit ADC accuracy - dedicated LDO regulation and star grounding are recommended.
