Overview

The MKL17Z256VFT4 is an ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller from the Kinetis L series, operating at up to 48MHz. It features 256KB of Flash and 32KB of RAM, integrated with a flexible segment LCD controller and a high-accuracy internal voltage reference.

Why Choose This Part

This MCU offers exceptional power efficiency with a sleep current as low as 1.96uA and a dedicated bit manipulation engine for fast peripheral control. The inclusion of a flexible segment LCD controller and 256KB of flash provides significant headroom for complex UI and data logging in a 7x7mm QFN package.

Applications

Battery-Powered Handheld Meters
Ideal for portable instruments requiring long battery life and a direct-drive segment LCD interface.
Thermostat Controllers
Utilizes integrated LCD drive and low-power modes to maintain climate control with minimal energy consumption.
Medical Wearables
Small QFN48 footprint and 54uA/MHz run current suit compact, power-sensitive health monitoring devices.
Smart Utility Meters
Leverages the FlexIO peripheral for custom serial protocol emulation and the bit manipulation engine for efficient data handling.

Getting Started

Developers can start with the NXP MCUXpresso SDK and IDE, which provide comprehensive drivers and examples. Hardware evaluation is best performed using the FRDM-KL17Z Freedom development board, which supports the OpenSDA onboard debug interface.
