FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK20DN512ZVMB10?
The MK20DN512ZVMB10 operates at a maximum core clock frequency of 100 MHz. This speed is achievable using the internal PLL with an external crystal or the internal RC oscillator trimmed via factory calibration. At 100 MHz, the MK20DN512ZVMB10 delivers 1.25 DMIPS/MHz performance with full FPU support, enabling real-time execution of complex control algorithms without jitter.
Does the MK20DN512ZVMB10 support USB device and host modes?
Yes, the MK20DN512ZVMB10 integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 OTG controller capable of both device and host operation. It includes an on-die transceiver, USB PHY, and dedicated USB RAM - eliminating the need for external components. The MK20DN512ZVMB10 supports standard USB classes including CDC, HID, and MSC, and can enumerate as a composite device with multiple interfaces.
How many CAN interfaces does the MK20DN512ZVMB10 include?
The MK20DN512ZVMB10 includes two independent FlexCAN v2.0 modules, each supporting ISO 11898-1 compliant operation up to 1 Mbps. Both controllers implement full mailbox filtering, FIFO buffering, and loopback self-test modes. This dual-CAN capability enables the MK20DN512ZVMB10 to serve as a gateway between separate CAN networks or provide redundant communication paths in safety-critical systems.
What ADC resolution and features are supported by the MK20DN512ZVMB10?
The MK20DN512ZVMB10 integrates a 16-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with programmable gain amplifier (PGA), achieving ±1 LSB integral nonlinearity and 92 dB SNR. It supports up to 16 single-ended or 8 differential input channels, hardware-triggered conversions via PDB, and configurable oversampling ratios up to 32× for enhanced effective resolution in low-noise applications.
Is the MK20DN512ZVMB10 pin-compatible with other K20 family members?
No, the MK20DN512ZVMB10 is not universally pin-compatible across the K20 family. While it shares the 144-pin LQFP package with MK20DX256ZVMB10, differences in peripheral mapping - such as USB pin assignments and ADC channel routing - require board-level validation. The MK20DN512ZVMB10 pinout is specific to its variant and must be verified against the official K20P81M100SF2RM reference manual.
