electronica 2010, MUNICH, GERMANY: Freescale Semiconductor is delivering the first devices from its recently announced Kinetis family of 90 nanometer (nm) 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) based on the new ARM Cortex-M4 core.
The first five families (K10, K20, K30, K40 and K60) are now available for customer sampling and include a broad portfolio of ultra-low-power MCUs with rich analog, human-machine interface, connectivity and safety and security functionality. In addition, Freescale is introducing a comprehensive hardware and software enablement package from Freescale and leading ARM ecosystem partners.
“Since we announced the plans for our Kinetis portfolio in June, we’ve made our vision a reality,” said Reza Kazerounian, senior vice president and general manager of Freescale’s Microcontroller Solutions Group. “We’re now sampling the first five Kinetis families, and we’ve gone beyond silicon to provide a comprehensive ecosystem of development support.”
More than 20 alpha customers around the globe, including Philips Healthcare, have been developing products with Kinetis silicon and tools. These early adopters have given Freescale valuable insight into the devices’ operation under “real-world” conditions to help ensure the best possible experience for future customers using the new families.
