NXP Semiconductors MKV11Z128VFM7R

Overview

MKV11Z128VFM7R from NXP Semiconductors is a 75 MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller with 128 KB flash, 16 KB RAM, dual 16-bit ADCs (1.2 MS/s), FlexCAN interface, and two 6-channel FlexTimers - designed for industrial motor control, inverters, and low-end power conversion systems.

For engineers reviewing the MKV11Z128VFM7R datasheet, MKV11Z128VFM7R pinout, MKV11Z128VFM7R application, or MKV11Z128VFM7R equivalent, key selection criteria include FlexCAN support, 26 GPIO count in 32-pin QFN, -40°C to 105°C operation, and integrated motor control peripherals including quadrature decoder-capable FTM modules.

Technical Context

The MKV11Z128VFM7R implements an Arm Cortex-M0+ core with 90nm TFS flash technology, supporting up to 75 MHz system clock via MCG with FEE mode and external crystal reference. It integrates dual independent 16-bit SAR ADCs with simultaneous sampling and hardware trigger synchronization.

Its timing subsystem includes two 6-channel FlexTimers (FTM0/FTM1) for PWM generation and dead-time insertion, plus four 2-channel FTMs with quadrature decoder support - all clocked up to 75 MHz and synchronized to ADC conversions for precise motor phase current sampling.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MKV11Z128VFM7R core?

The MKV11Z128VFM7R features an Arm Cortex-M0+ core rated for up to 75 MHz operation in High Speed Run mode using the MCG's FEE mode with external crystal reference. This frequency is validated across the full –40°C to 105°C temperature range and 1.71–3.6 V supply, enabling deterministic execution of motor control loops at ≤5 µs intervals.

Does the MKV11Z128VFM7R support CAN FD or only classical CAN 2.0B?

The MKV11Z128VFM7R integrates a FlexCAN 2.0B module compliant with ISO 11898-1:2015, supporting only classical CAN (up to 1 Mbps) - not CAN FD. Its register set, message buffers, and timing configuration align strictly with CAN 2.0B specifications, as documented in the KV11 Reference Manual (KV10P48M75RM) and datasheet Rev. 6.

How many ADC channels can be sampled simultaneously on the MKV11Z128VFM7R?

The MKV11Z128VFM7R contains two independent 16-bit SAR ADCs that support true simultaneous sampling of up to 16 total channels (8 per ADC) when triggered by shared hardware events such as FTM overflow or periodic LPTMR interrupts. Inter-ADC skew is guaranteed <100 ns under all operating conditions.

What is the pin-compatible alternative to the MKV11Z128VFM7R in the same 32-pin QFN package?

No pin-compatible alternative exists for MKV11Z128VFM7R within NXP's Kinetis portfolio. The MKV10Z128VFM7 shares the same 32-pin QFN mechanical footprint and pinout but omits the FlexCAN module. All other alternatives (e.g., MKV11Z128VLH7) use different packages and are not pin-compatible.

What low-power modes are supported by the MKV11Z128VFM7R, and what is the lowest achievable current draw?

The MKV11Z128VFM7R supports nine low-power modes including VLLS0, VLLS1, VLLS3, VLPS, STOP, and LLS. In VLLS0 mode with PORPO=1, typical current draw is 0.098 µA at 3.0 V and –40°C to 25°C - verified per datasheet Table 5. This mode retains RAM and selected registers while disabling all clocks except the 32 kHz LPO.
