Freescale Semiconductor is expanding its portfolio of 32-bit Kinetis microcontrollers (MCUs), based on the ARM(R) Cortex-M4(TM) processor, with 60 new entry-level devices that are expected to begin sampling in early 2012. The new devices are additions to the Kinetis K10 and K20 families and are the lowest power Kinetis MCUs to date, consuming only 630uA at a CPU speed of 4MHz in low power run mode, which is equivalent to 160uA/MHz. The lowest power mode consumes only 40 nA and, together with a wide variety of low-power settings, users can achieve significant extension in battery life. These entry-level, 32-bit MCUs combine extensive feature integration with a small form factor, making them ideal for space- and cost-constrained applications.Learn more from Freescale Semiconductor.
