MCU families with exceptional low-power performance, memory scalability and feature integration

In stock at Mouser, the NXP Kinetis V Series MCUs are based upon the ARM Cortex-M0+ and M4 cores and are designed for BLDC, PMSM and ACIM motor control, as well as digital power conversion applications. The KV1x family is the entry point and features a 75MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ core with a hardware square root and divide block giving it a 27% increase in performance vs. comparable 32-bit MCUs in sensorless PMSM control. With an ARM Cortex-M4 core, floating point unit and clock frequencies of up to 150MHz, the KV3x and KV4x families extend the V series to higher dynamic control systems including those with multiple motors. The V Series features include dual 16-bit ADCs sampling at up to 1.2 mega samples per second (MS/s) in 12-bit mode, multiple motor control timers and 16-512 KB of flash memory. The KV4x family includes advanced analog and timing peripherals from NXP's digital signal controller (DSC) portfolio to address the requirements of digital power conversion applications. All families are supported by a full enablement suite from NXP and third-party resources, including reference designs, software libraries and motor configuration tools.
