MKV31F128VLL10

NXP USA Inc.
ARM® Cortex®-M4 Kinetis KV Microcontroller IC 32-Bit 100MHz 128KB (128K x 8) FLASH 100-LQFP (14x14)
Active2,772 in stock

Overview

The MKV31F128VLL10 is part of NXP's Kinetis KV3x family, specifically designed for high-performance motor control and power conversion applications. It features a 100MHz ARM Cortex-M4 core with a floating-point unit (FPU) and DSP instructions to handle complex control algorithms. This microcontroller balances 128KB of Flash and 24KB of RAM with high-speed analog peripherals including dual 16-bit ADCs.

Why Choose This Part

The integration of a hardware FPU and 100MHz clock speed allows for faster execution of mathematical models compared to standard Cortex-M0+ or M3 devices. It provides superior analog-to-digital conversion with two 16-bit ADCs, enabling simultaneous sampling of phase currents. Additionally, the device offers highly flexible low-power modes, with standby current as low as 1.6uA for energy-sensitive industrial applications.

Applications

Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor Control
Utilizes the Cortex-M4 FPU and hardware PWM timers to execute sensorless vector control algorithms.
Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM)
High-speed 16-bit ADCs allow for precise current sensing and rotor position feedback for industrial drives.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
Manages complex power conversion stages with rapid ADC sampling and dedicated timing peripherals.
Solar Inverters
Efficiently performs Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) calculations using integrated DSP instructions.

Getting Started

Development is supported by the NXP MCUXpresso SDK, which includes drivers and motor control libraries. For hardware evaluation, the FRDM-KV31F Freedom Development Board is the primary platform for prototyping. Engineers can use MCUXpresso IDE, IAR Embedded Workbench, or Keil MDK along with a standard J-Link or P&E Micro debug probe.
