Product details
Overview
MK28FN2M0ACAU15R from NXP Semiconductors is a high-performance ARM® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with 2 MB flash, 1 MB SRAM, dual USB controllers (High-Speed + crystal-less Full-Speed), SDRAM controller, QuadSPI interface, and Power Management Controller with Core Voltage Bypass - deployed in low-end graphic display systems and cost-optimized smart home hubs requiring rich HMI and external memory expansion.
For engineers reviewing the MK28FN2M0ACAU15R datasheet, MK28FN2M0ACAU15R pinout, MK28FN2M0ACAU15R application, or MK28FN2M0ACAU15R equivalent, key selection criteria include its 210-pin WLCSP package, -40°C to 85°C ambient operating range, 150 MHz core frequency, QuadSPI XIP capability, and integrated cryptographic acceleration (AES/SHA-256/MD5).
Technical Context
The MK28FN2M0ACAU15R implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with DSP extensions and single-precision FPU, operating up to 150 MHz in HSRUN mode at 1.47 V VDD_CORE. It integrates a 32-bit SDRAM controller and dual QuadSPI interfaces supporting SDR/DDR serial flash and octal configurations for eXecution-In-Place.
Its system architecture includes a 32-channel eDMA, memory protection unit (MPU), hardware random-number generator (TRNG), and MMCAU crypto accelerator. The Power Management Controller enables external PMIC integration via Core Voltage Bypass, while low-power timers and LPUARTs support battery-operated operation down to VLLS2/VLLS3 modes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-memory ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MK28FN2M0VMI15 | Same core/peripherals but in 169-pin MAPBGA (9×9 mm, 0.65 mm pitch); rated for -40°C to 105°C | Better thermal margin for industrial enclosures; larger PCB footprint and higher rework complexity than WLCSP | Select MK28FN2M0VMI15 when extended temperature range or easier assembly outweighs size constraints. |
| RT1052DVJ6B | ARM Cortex-M7 @ 600 MHz, 2 MB flash, 512 KB RAM, no QuadSPI XIP, different security block (SECO) | Higher compute throughput for vision/audio preprocessing; lacks native crystal-less USB and SDRAM controller | Select RT1052DVJ6B only if M7 performance and eMMC/SDIO interface are prioritized over low-power USB and external flash XIP. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MK28FN2M0ACAU15R?
The MK28FN2M0ACAU15R operates at up to 150 MHz in High-Speed Run (HSRUN) mode with VDD_CORE regulated at 1.33–1.47 V. Its ARM Cortex-M4 core includes DSP extensions and a single-precision floating-point unit, validated across the full -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range specified for the 210-pin WLCSP package.
Does the MK28FN2M0ACAU15R support execution-in-place (XIP) from external flash?
Yes, the MK28FN2M0ACAU15R supports XIP via its dual QuadSPI interfaces, which natively handle SDR and DDR serial NOR flash, including octal configurations. This capability eliminates SRAM code copying overhead and extends effective program memory beyond its 2 MB on-chip flash - confirmed in the K28F Reference Manual and Data Sheet Rev. 4.
What are the voltage domains and supply requirements for the MK28FN2M0ACAU15R?
The MK28FN2M0ACAU15R features four independent voltage domains: VDD_CORE (1.17–1.47 V), VDD/VDDA (1.71–3.6 V), VDDIO_E (1.71–3.6 V for QuadSPI/Port E), and VBAT (1.71–3.6 V for RTC). VDD_CORE must not exceed VDD during power-up or power-down per the recommended POR sequencing in the datasheet.
How does the Power Management Controller with Core Voltage Bypass function in the MK28FN2M0ACAU15R?
The MK28FN2M0ACAU15R's Power Management Controller allows external PMIC regulation of VDD_CORE by bypassing the internal regulator. This enables system-level optimization of power conversion efficiency and thermal distribution - particularly valuable in space-constrained, battery-powered designs where discrete PMICs offer tighter voltage tolerances and dynamic headroom control.
Which cryptographic algorithms are accelerated by the MMCAU in the MK28FN2M0ACAU15R?
The Memory Mapped Crypto Acceleration Unit (MMCAU) in the MK28FN2M0ACAU15R accelerates DES, 3-DES, AES (all key lengths), SHA-1, SHA-256, and MD5. These functions are accessible via memory-mapped registers and reduce CPU load during secure boot, firmware signing, and TLS handshake operations - verified in the K28P210M150SF5 Reference Manual.
