Product details
Overview
MK50DN512CLL10 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a 100 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller with DSP extensions, 512 KB program flash, 128 KB SRAM, and no FlexMemory. It features dual 16-bit ADCs (19+3 SE/DP and 18+3 SE/DP channels), two 12-bit DACs, three analog comparators, two op-amps, two transimpedance amplifiers, USB OTG LS/FS with device charger detect, six UARTs, three SPI modules, two I²C interfaces, I²S, and capacitive touch sensing - deployed in industrial HMI, medical sensor front-ends, and programmable logic controllers.
For engineers reviewing the MK50DN512CLL10 datasheet, MK50DN512CLL10 pinout, MK50DN512CLL10 application, or MK50DN512CLL10 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100 MHz Cortex-M4 core without FPU, absence of FlexNVM/FlexRAM, 100-pin LQFP package, -40°C to +85°C temperature grade, and full-speed USB OTG with integrated transceiver and DCD support.
Technical Context
The MK50DN512CLL10 implements an ARM Cortex-M4 core with DSP instruction set but no single-precision floating-point unit (SPFPU). It supports nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC), asynchronous wake-up interrupt controller (AWIC), and debug via SWD/JTAG/cJTAG with TPIU, FPB, DWT, ITM, ETM, and ETB trace capabilities.
Its analog subsystem includes two independent 16-bit SAR ADCs with configurable single-ended/differential inputs, two 12-bit DACs, three high-speed analog comparators with 6-bit DAC references, two general-purpose op-amps, and two transimpedance amplifiers - enabling simultaneous signal acquisition, conditioning, and feedback control in closed-loop systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MK50DX256ZCLL10 | 256 KB flash + 256 KB FlexNVM instead of 512 KB flash only; same 100 MHz core, package, and peripherals | Requires EEPROM emulation or data logging - FlexNVM enables byte-write EEPROM backup without software overhead | Select MK50DX256ZCLL10 if application needs high-endurance nonvolatile data storage alongside firmware |
| MK51DN512ZCLL10 | Adds segment LCD controller (32×8/36×4) and second USB interface; identical flash/SRAM/performance | Targeted at display-integrated devices like portable test equipment or handheld analyzers | Select MK51DN512ZCLL10 only when integrated segment LCD driving is required - otherwise MK50DN512CLL10 offers lower cost and simpler layout |
Compared with MK50DX256ZCLL10, MK50DN512CLL10 trades FlexMemory for double flash capacity - optimizing for large firmware images over data logging. Against MK51DN512ZCLL10, it omits LCD hardware, reducing pin count utilization and power consumption in non-display applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and core type of the MK50DN512CLL10?
The MK50DN512CLL10 features an ARM Cortex-M4 core rated at 100 MHz with DSP instruction support but no single-precision floating-point unit. It delivers 125 DMIPS performance and operates across a 1.71 V to 3.6 V supply range with full functionality down to 1.71 V, including flash programming and analog peripherals. This makes MK50DN512CLL10 suitable for deterministic real-time control tasks where integer math suffices.
Does the MK50DN512CLL10 include FlexMemory, and how does that affect firmware design?
No, the MK50DN512CLL10 does not include FlexMemory - it contains 512 KB of program flash only, with no FlexNVM or FlexRAM. This means EEPROM emulation must be implemented in software if nonvolatile data storage is required. In contrast, FlexMemory-equipped variants like MK50DX256ZCLL10 provide hardware-accelerated byte-write EEPROM functionality. The absence of FlexMemory simplifies memory mapping for MK50DN512CLL10 but shifts data persistence responsibility to firmware.
What USB capabilities does the MK50DN512CLL10 support, and are external components required?
The MK50DN512CLL10 integrates a full-speed/low-speed USB OTG controller with on-chip transceiver and Device Charger Detect (DCD) circuitry. It supports USB device, host, and OTG roles without requiring external PHY or level-shifting components. The internal 120 mA regulator powers VBUS during device operation. This integration allows MK50DN512CLL10 to function as a self-powered USB peripheral - ideal for field-upgradable firmware or CDC/HID-class interfaces.
How many analog-to-digital converters does the MK50DN512CLL10 have, and what are their key specifications?
The MK50DN512CLL10 includes two independent 16-bit SAR ADCs: ADC0 (19 single-ended + 3 differential-pair channels) and ADC1 (18 single-ended + 3 differential-pair channels). Both support hardware triggering, programmable gain amplifiers, and configurable reference sources. Their 16-bit resolution and differential capability enable high-accuracy sensor measurements in noisy industrial environments - a key advantage of MK50DN512CLL10 over lower-resolution MCUs in precision measurement applications.
What is the package type and pin count of the MK50DN512CLL10, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MK50DN512CLL10 is housed in a 100-pin LQFP package (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. It is RoHS-compliant and rated for moisture sensitivity level 3. This package provides full access to all peripherals - including 59 GPIOs with interrupt capability - while supporting standard surface-mount assembly processes. The LQFP form factor of MK50DN512CLL10 simplifies prototyping and reduces PCB routing complexity compared to BGA alternatives.
