Description
This is a NXP Freescale Freedom Development Platform for Kinetis KL03 MCUs. Its part number is FRDM-KL03Z. The Kinetis KL03 chip-scale package (CSP) MCU offers the world's smallest ARM Powered microcontroller, designed to support the latest innovation in smart, small devices. Allows designers to dramatically reduce their board size without compromising performance, feature integration or power consumption of end products Consumes 35 percent less PCB area, while delivering 60 percent more GPIO than the nearest competitor Features security circuitry to prevent unauthorized access to RAM and flash contents Supported by low-power, cost effective development platform for quick application prototyping and demonstration. It comes as pictured and does not include any additional parts or accessories.
Features:
Ultra-Low-Power
- Next-generation 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ core: 2x more CoreMark/mA than the closest 8/16-bit architecture
- Single-cycle fast I/O access port facilitates bit banging and software protocol emulation, keeping an 8-bit "look and feel"
- Multiple flexible low-power modes, including new compute clocking option which reduces dynamic power by placing peripherals in an asynchronous stop mode
- LPUART, SPI, I²C, analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and LP timer support low-power mode operation without waking up the core
Memory
- 32 KB flash with 2 KB SRAM
- Security circuitry to prevent unauthorized access to RAM and flash contents
- 8 KB ROM and built-in boot loader simplifies the effort to program MCU and allows for easy flash upgrades
Performance
- ARM Cortex-M0+ core, 48 MHz core frequency over full voltage and temperature range (-40ºC to +85ºC)
- Bit manipulation engine for improved bit handling of peripheral modules
- Thumb instruction set combines high code density with 32-bit performance
- Independent-clocked COP guards against clock skew or code runaway for fail-safe applications
Mixed-Signal
- 12-bit ADC with configurable resolution, sample time and conversion speed/power
- Embedded 1.2 V voltage reference for ADC
- Integrated temperature sensor
- High-speed comparator with internal 6-bit DAC
Timing and Control
- Two 2-ch. 16-bit low-power timer PWM modules
- Low-power timer allows operation in all power modes except for VLLS0
- Real-time clock with calendar
Human-Machine Interface
- Up to 18 controllable GPIO with pin interrupt support
Connectivity and Communications
