- Industrial Converters
- Other equipment commonly used in high-noise environments
Key Features of Kinetis MCUs
The Kinetis MCU boasts several key features that make it ideal for demanding applications:
- EMC and ESD protection
- Exceptional electrical fast transient/electrostatic discharge (EFT/ESD) performance
- Comprehensive self-testing capabilities, including Flash, RAM, register, watchdog, and clock tests
- Wide operating voltage range: 2.7V to 5.5V
- Extended temperature range: -40°C to +105°C ambient temperature
- ARM Cortex-M0+ core running at up to 20 MHz
- Single-cycle 32-bit x 32-bit multiplier
- Single-cycle I/O access port
- Up to 64 KB of Flash memory
- 256 B EEPROM
- Up to 4 KB of RAM
