Arm® Cortex®-M4|Kinetis K60 100 MHz 32-bit Microcontrollers|NXP

Overview

The Kinetis^® K60 100 MHz IEEE® 1588 Ethernet MCUs are built on the Arm^® Cortex^® -M4 core and feature advanced analog integration and serial communication. Available down to a 5 mm x 5 mm wafer-level chip-scale package (WLCSP), these devices maximize board space and enhance performance with minimum-length interconnections, allowing the miniaturization of existing applications. This family shares the comprehensive enablement and scalability of the Kinetis portfolio.

Features

Ultra-Low-Power

Low-leakage wake-up unit with up to eight internal modules and 16 pins as wake-up sources in low-leakage stop (LLS)/very low-leakage stop (VLLS) modes
Low-power timer for continuous system operation in reduced power state

Flash, SRAM and FlexMemory

256 KB - 512 KB flash. Fast access, high reliability with four-level security protection
64 KB-128 KB of SRAM
FlexMemory: 32 bytes-4KB of user-segmentable byte write/erase EEPROM for data tables/system data. EEPROM with over 10M cycles and flash with 70 µsec write time (brownouts without data loss/corruption). No user or system intervention to complete programming and erase functions and full operation down to 1.71 volts. In addition, up to 256 KB can be used for extra program code, data or EEPROM backup

Mixed-Signal Capability

Two high-speed 16-bit analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) with configurable resolution. Single or differential output mode operation for improved noise rejection. 863 ns conversion time achievable with programmable delay block triggering
Up two 12-bit digital-to-analog-converter (DAC) for analog waveform generation for audio applications
Three high-speed comparators providing fast and accurate motor over-current protection by driving PWMs to a safe state
Analog voltage reference provides an accurate reference to analog blocks, ADC and DAC, and replaces external voltage references to reduce system cost
