Product details
Overview
MKS22FN256VLL12 from NXP Semiconductors is a 120 MHz ARM® Cortex®-M4 microcontroller with 256 KB flash, 64 KB SRAM, dual FlexCAN interfaces, USB FS OTG with crystal-less operation, and 66 GPIOs in 100-pin LQFP. It targets automotive body control, industrial PLC I/O modules, and smart sensor hubs requiring real-time CAN communication and low-power mixed-signal processing.
For engineers reviewing the MKS22FN256VLL12 datasheet, MKS22FN256VLL12 pinout, MKS22FN256VLL12 application, or MKS22FN256VLL12 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual CAN 2.0B support, 16-bit ADC (17 SE/4 DP channels, ≤13-bit @1.2 Msps), 12-bit DAC, FlexIO configurability for UART/I²S/SPI/PWM, and –40 to 105 °C operation with 1.71–3.6 V supply.
Technical Context
The MKS22FN256VLL12 implements a dual-FlexCAN architecture compliant with ISO 11898-1 and CAN 2.0B, enabling concurrent high-speed (up to 1 Mbit/s) and fault-tolerant vehicle network nodes. Its clock system integrates MCG with FLL/PLL, 32 kHz RTC oscillator, and IRC48M for USB timing-supporting crystal-less USB FS OTG operation without external 48 MHz source.
Power management includes VLPR/VLPW/Stop/VLPS/LLS/VLLS modes with selective peripheral retention: RTC, LPTMR, CMP, ADC, and FlexCAN remain active in VLPS; LLWU and LPTMR wake from LLS/VLLS. The eDMA controller supports 16-channel asynchronous transfers with DMAMUX routing to all peripherals except core modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency and core architecture of the MKS22FN256VLL12?
The MKS22FN256VLL12 features a 120 MHz ARM Cortex-M4 core with integrated single-precision floating-point unit (FPU) and DSP extensions. This delivers 1.25 Dhrystone MIPS per MHz and enables real-time signal processing tasks such as motor control algorithms and sensor fusion without external coprocessors. The MKS22FN256VLL12 maintains full performance across its –40 to 105 °C operating range.
Does the MKS22FN256VLL12 support crystal-less USB operation?
Yes, the MKS22FN256VLL12 integrates an IRC48M internal oscillator that meets USB Full-Speed (12 Mbit/s) timing specifications without requiring an external 48 MHz crystal. This capability is confirmed in the official NXP KS22 data sheet Rev. 3.1 and reduces bill-of-materials cost and PCB footprint for portable and space-constrained designs using the MKS22FN256VLL12.
How many CAN interfaces does the MKS22FN256VLL12 include, and what standards do they support?
The MKS22FN256VLL12 includes two independent FlexCAN modules compliant with ISO 11898-1 and CAN 2.0B protocol specifications. Each supports bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s and features message buffers, FIFOs, and error counters. This dual-CAN capability is explicitly documented for the KS22 series (versus single CAN in KS20), making the MKS22FN256VLL12 suitable for automotive gateway or industrial redundancy applications.
What analog peripherals are integrated into the MKS22FN256VLL12?
The MKS22FN256VLL12 integrates a 16-bit ADC with up to 17 single-ended and 4 differential input channels, capable of ≤13-bit resolution at 1.2 Msps; a 12-bit DAC; and an analog comparator with 6-bit DAC. These are fully supported in the 100-pin LQFP package (MKS22FN256VLL12), unlike the 48-QFN variant where DAC and I2S are omitted. All analog blocks share dedicated VDDA/VSSA rails for noise isolation.
What low-power modes are available on the MKS22FN256VLL12, and which peripherals remain active in VLPS mode?
The MKS22FN256VLL12 supports VLPS (Very Low Power Stop) mode with typical current draw below 2 µA. In VLPS, the RTC, LPTMR, CMP, ADC, OSC, TPM, FlexIO, LPUART, LPI2C, USB, and DMA remain operational while the core and most clocks are gated. Wake-up is handled by AWIC using configured interrupt sources. This behavior is verified in Section 2.1.8 of the KS22 data sheet Rev. 3.1 and applies directly to the MKS22FN256VLL12.
