Kinetis KV5x – Real-Time Control M CUs
with Ethernet
Up to 1 MB Flas h and 256 KB SRAM
1. Kinetis V family introduction
Kinetis V series microcontrollers (MCUs) combine the
performance and precision needed for real-time control
applications, such as motor control and power
conversion, with the ease-of-use of ARM® Cortex®-M
processor combined with the performance, peripheral
set, enablement, and scalability of the Kinetis 32-bit
MCU portfolio.
The Kinetis KV5x family of MCUs is a high-
performance solution offering exceptional precision,
sensing, and control for some of the most demanding
applications in motor control and power conversion.
Built upon the ARM Cortex-M7 core running at 240
MHz with single precision floating point unit, it
features advanced high-speed and high-accuracy
peripherals such as high-resolution pulse width
modulation (PWM) with 312-picosecond resolution,
four 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
sampling at 5 mega sam ples p er second (MSPS), a total
of 44 PWM channels for support of multi-motor
systems with PFC, three FlexCAN modules and
optional Ethernet communications. The KV5x is
supported by a comprehensive enablement suite from
Freescale and third-party resources including reference
designs, software libraries, and motor configuration
tools.

Kinetis KV5x key product features
2. Kinetis KV5x sub-family o verview
The Kinetis KV5x is a real-time control MCU family primarily targeting high-performance industrial
motor control, industrial drives and automation, and power conversion applications. The KV5x provides
an easy migration path from the Kinetis KV4x MCU family with additional memory, Ethernet
communications, and high-precision peripheral options beyond those already offered. All Kinetis V
series MCUs are compatible with the Kinetis K series MCU family (based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core)
and with all Kinetis V series MCU families providing a highly scalable migration path between high
performance and rich feature integration for cost-optimized solutions.
• KV56 - Broad offering with high-precision analog and digital integration and scalable Flash and
RAM.
• KV58 - Expansion from the KV56 family with addition of the Ethernet communications with true
random number generator and cryptography unit.
3. Kinetis KV5x key product features
• High-performance 240 MHz ARM Cortex-M7 core with a high level of analog and digital
integration targeted at real-time control applications.
• Utilizes the ARM Cortex-M7, which is ideally suited for real-time control applications.
o DSP instructions with single precision floating point - lower system cost by replacing the
DSP or FPGA integrated circuits. Allows faster control loops for improved real-time control.
Lower your average power by reducing time spent in chip processing modes.
o 64-bit tightly-coupled memory interfaces for high-performance deterministic processing,
increasing system performance and throughput.
o 64-bit AXI memory interface with I-Cache and D-Cache for efficient access to external
resources; interface to large external memories for a complete RTOS experience, support for
multiple connectivity stacks and middleware.
o M-Class compatibility with higher performance - scalable from existing ARM Cortex-M4
implementations to support faster time to market. Low-interrupt latency for real-time systems.
• Up to 1 MB of Flash and 256 KB of RAM, 16 KB of instruction cache and 8 KB of data cache.
256 KB of RAM includes 64 KB of ITCM RAM, ensuring maximum CPU performance of fast
control loops with minimal latency.
• Wide Flash interface supports secure and fast access to safety-critical control parameters,
minimizing CPU wait states.
• The four ADC blocks, two banks of two, sampling at 5 MSPS with dual sample and hold circuitry,
can capture current and v ol tage for two motors simultaneously, giving true independent dual motor
control, or provide the ability to read all three currents / voltages simultaneously, providing the
most accurate results.
• Ethernet option with true random number generator and cryptographic unit provide a low-cost
integrated connectivity solution.
