Freescale’s latest Kinetis MCUs set new standard for measurement and monitoring

embedded world 2011, NUREMBERG, GERMANY: Freescale Semiconductor announced the newest addition to its growing Kinetis 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) line – the Kinetis K50 family. This new family, targeted for medical and industrial applications, further expands the industry’s most extensive and scalable portfolio built on the ARM® Cortex-M4 core.

The K50 MCU family offers multiple connectivity options for continuous monitoring and an integrated measurement engine for reliable processing of analog signals for applications such as portable medical devices, signal instrumentation and industrial test and measurement equipment.

“We’re breaking new ground for measurement and monitoring with our Kinetis K50 MCU family,” said Jeff Bock, director of marketing for Freescale’s Industrial and Multi-Market business. “This new family offers a best-in-class combination of multiple connectivity options, accurate analog signal processing and extensive scalability for a number of industrial and medical applications.”

The K50 family’s enhanced monitoring and measurement capabilities are particularly important for the medical market, as medical devices increasingly transition to portable formats. With the K50 family’s ability to reduce development time and increase functionality, all while operating with extremely low power, medical designers can quickly adapt to market trends and provide the portable, connected devices end users expect.
