Overview

The MK20DX128VLH5 is a 50MHz Kinetis K20 series microcontroller based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core, designed for general-purpose applications requiring USB connectivity and flexible power management. It features 128KB of Flash, 16KB of RAM, and 2KB of dedicated EEPROM, providing a robust mix of memory and integrated peripherals in a 64-LQFP package.

Why Choose This Part

The inclusion of 2KB of FlexMemory (EEPROM) allows for high-endurance data logging without consuming standard Flash resources. Its Cortex-M4 core provides DSP instruction support for efficient signal processing while maintaining low power consumption of approximately 16.1mA at full 50MHz operation.

Applications

USB Peripheral Devices
Utilizes the integrated USB OTG controller for developing human interface devices (HID) or communications class devices (CDC).
Industrial Control Nodes
The Cortex-M4 core and dedicated DMA controller handle real-time sensor data processing and communication via SPI, I2C, and UART.
Digital Audio Interfaces
The I2S interface allows for connection to external audio codecs and DACs for high-quality audio streaming applications.
Battery-Powered Instrumentation
Multiple low-power modes, including VLLS and LLS with current draws as low as 1.1 uA, extend battery life in portable equipment.
