Kinetis MCUs
Kinetis L Series MCUs
Kinetis L series MCUs, based on ARM
technology, are the world’s most energy
efficient, bringing new design possibilities to
entry-level applications that have previously
been limited by 8-/16-bit MCU capabilities.
KinetisL series MCUs combine the enhanced
energy efficiency, performance and debug
features of the new 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+
core with the scalability, feature integration
and enablement of the Kinetis MCU portfolio.
Available with multiple flash memory options
and a rich selection of analog, connectivity
and HMI peripherals, Kinetis L series MCUs
are also hardware and software compatible
with KinetisK series MCUs based on the
ARM Cortex-M4 core.
Energy Efficiency
Kinetis L series MCUs supplement the
low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ core with low-
power 90 nm process technology, platform
design, operating modes and energy-saving
peripherals. Combined, they increase the
time spent in deep sleep modes, minimizing
CPU activity and extending battery life.

Kinetis E Series MCUs
Kinetis E series MCUs are designed for
high-electrical noise environments and
high-reliability applications that require 5V
operation and robust EMC performance.
Kinetis E series MCUs include powerful
analog, timing and control peripherals with
a broad range of flash memory and package
options. Parts within the Kinetis E series
share common peripherals and packages,
allowing developers to migrate easily within
an MCU family or between MCU families to
take advantage of more memory or feature
integration. This scalability allows developers
to standardize on the Kinetis E series MCUs
for their end-product platforms, maximizing
hardware and software reuse and reducing
time to market.

Overview
Kinetis KE0x MCUs are the entry point into
the E series and are pin-compatible with
other E devices, as well as with the 8-bit
S08P family. This family includes a powerful
array of analog, communication, timing
and control peripherals with varying flash
memory size and pin count. Additionally,
the series offers highly robust, cost-effective
and energy-efficient MCUs that provide the
appropriate entry-level solution. Ultimately,
this product group is the next-generation
MCU solution, offering enhanced ESD/EMC
performance for cost-sensitive, high-reliability
device applications used in high electrical
noise environments.

12 Freescale Embedded Solutions Based on ARM Technology
Kinetis V Series MCUs are based upon the
ARM Cortex-M0+ and M4 cores and are
designed for BLDC, PMSM and ACIM motor
control, as well as digital power conversion
applications. The Kinetis KV1x MCU family is
the entry point and features a 75 MHz ARM
Cortex-M0+ core with a hardware square root
and divide block giving it a 27% increase in
performance vs. comparable 32-bit MCUs in
sensorless PMSM control.
With an ARM Cortex-M4 core, floating point
unit and clock frequencies of up to 150
MHz, the Kinetis KV3x and Kinetis KV4x
MCU families extend the V series to higher
dynamic control systems including those
with multiple motors. Kinetis V series MCU
features include dual 16-bit analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) sampling at up to 1.2
mega samples per second (MS/s) in 12-bit
mode, multiple motor control timers and
16-512 KB of flash memory. The Kinetis KV4x
MCU family includes advanced analog and
timing peripherals from Freescale’s digital
signal controller (DSC) portfolio to address
the requirements of digital power conversion
applications. All families are supported by
a full enablement suite from Freescale and
third-party resources, including reference
designs, software libraries and motor
configuration tools.
