Product details
Overview
MK40DN512VMD10 from NXP (formerly Freescale) is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with DSP extensions, designed for embedded control applications requiring high integration, low-power operation, and mixed-signal capability. It delivers 100 MHz core performance, 512 KB on-chip flash memory, 128 KB RAM, dual 16-bit SAR ADCs with integrated PGA, two 12-bit DACs, two CAN interfaces, USB OTG, and operates across –40 to 105°C in industrial environments.
For engineers reviewing the MK40DN512VMD10 datasheet, MK40DN512VMD10 pinout, MK40DN512VMD10 application, or MK40DN512VMD10 equivalent, key selection considerations include its FlexBus interface for external memory expansion, segment LCD controller supporting up to 44 frontplanes, TSI-based touch sensing, and support for multiple low-power stop modes down to 2.1 µA in VLLS1 mode.
Technical Context
The MK40DN512VMD10 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with hardware DSP instructions and no FPU, paired with a multi-purpose clock generator supporting crystal oscillators at 3–32 MHz and 32 kHz. Its memory subsystem includes 512 KB of program flash (non-FlexMemory configuration), 128 KB RAM, and dedicated EzPort for serial programming.
System-level features include a 16-channel DMA controller with 63 request sources, memory protection unit (MPU) with multi-master protection, hardware CRC module, and low-leakage wakeup unit. Analog integration comprises two independent 16-bit ADCs each with programmable gain amplifier (up to ×64), two 12-bit DACs, three analog comparators with internal 6-bit DACs, and transimpedance amplifiers - all operating within the 1.71–3.6 V supply range.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| K22FN512VLH12 | ARM Cortex-M4F (with FPU), 120 MHz max, 512 KB flash, same 144-LQFP package but different pinout and peripheral mapping | Lacks integrated segment LCD controller and TSI; adds FPU for floating-point math but removes LCD/TSI analog peripherals | Select when floating-point computation dominates and display/touch are handled externally |
| STM32F407VGT6 | ARM Cortex-M4F @ 168 MHz, 1 MB flash, 192 KB RAM, 144-LQFP, no integrated LCD/TSI, different ADC/DAC architecture | Higher clock speed and memory, but requires external components for LCD and touch; USB OTG HS vs. FS/LS on MK40DN512VMD10 | Choose for higher throughput applications where external display/touch ICs are acceptable and FPU is required |
Compared with K22FN512VLH12 and STM32F407VGT6, the MK40DN512VMD10 offers unique on-die segment LCD and TSI controllers - reducing component count and power in HMI-centric designs - while trading off FPU and maximum clock frequency for deterministic analog integration and industrial temperature certification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and core type of the MK40DN512VMD10?
The MK40DN512VMD10 features an ARM Cortex-M4 core with DSP extensions running at up to 100 MHz. It does not include a floating-point unit (FPU). This configuration balances computational throughput for real-time control algorithms with deterministic interrupt latency and power efficiency - making MK40DN512VMD10 well-suited for motor control, sensor processing, and industrial automation where fixed-point math suffices.
Does the MK40DN512VMD10 support external memory expansion?
Yes, the MK40DN512VMD10 includes a FlexBus external bus interface supporting 8-bit or 16-bit parallel connections to NOR flash, SRAM, or peripheral ASICs. The interface provides address/data multiplexing, chip select control, and programmable wait states - enabling seamless expansion beyond its on-chip 512 KB flash and 128 KB RAM. This capability is directly implemented in MK40DN512VMD10's pinout and requires no external glue logic.
What analog peripherals are integrated into the MK40DN512VMD10?
The MK40DN512VMD10 integrates two independent 16-bit SAR ADCs, each with a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) offering gains from ×1 to ×64; two 12-bit DACs; three analog comparators with internal 6-bit DACs and programmable reference inputs; two transimpedance amplifiers; and a precision voltage reference. These are fully operational across the device's 1.71–3.6 V supply and –40 to 105°C range - confirming MK40DN512VMD10's suitability for high-fidelity sensor signal chains in harsh environments.
Can the MK40DN512VMD10 drive a segment LCD display directly?
Yes, the MK40DN512VMD10 includes a dedicated segment LCD controller capable of driving up to 44 frontplanes and 4 backplanes, or 40 frontplanes and 8 backplanes, depending on configuration. This eliminates the need for external LCD driver ICs in applications such as industrial HMIs, medical devices, or smart meters - reducing BOM cost and PCB complexity. The LCD controller is fully integrated and functional in MK40DN512VMD10's 144-LQFP package.
What low-power modes are supported by the MK40DN512VMD10?
The MK40DN512VMD10 supports seven low-power modes including RUN, WAIT, VLPR, STOP, VLPS, LLS, and VLLS (submodes 1–3), with VLLS1 consuming as little as 2.1 µA at 3.0 V and –40 to 25°C. All modes retain RAM content and selected peripheral states, and VLLS3 preserves RTC operation and limited GPIO wake capability. These modes are hardware-controlled and validated across the full industrial temperature range - a key design feature of MK40DN512VMD10 for battery-powered and energy-sensitive applications.
