Freescale Kinetis KL02 - the world's smallest microcontroller ARM architecture


Promotion of "Internet of Things» (Internet of Things, IoT), which was named one of the ten tehnotrendov that will shake the world in the next ten years , will be able to accelerate a tiny chip, presented today by Freescale Semiconductor. In any case, it is calculated its creators. According to them, Kinetis KL02 - the world's smallest microcontroller architecture ARM.
Freescale Kinetis KL02 - the world's smallest microcontroller ARM architecture
Among the areas of new items, which occupies the PCB land size 1,9 x 2,0 mm (less than a quarter the size of the next modern microprocessors ARM), called ultra-compact solutions, including portable consumer electronics devices, remote sensors, portable electronic devices and medical devices intended for oral administration.
In addition to small size, MCUs Freescale Kinetis KL02 are characterized by high energy efficiency.
The basis of new items is a 32-bit processor, ARM Cortex-M0 + , complete with digital and analog peripherals.Clock speed ARM Cortex-M0 + is 48 MHz. The configuration consists of 32 KB of flash memory and 4 KB of RAM.Equipment includes 12-bit ADC, a fast comparator, UART, SPI, 2x IICI2C, timers. Chip is designed for power supply in 1,71-3,6 and work in temperatures ranging from -40 ° C to +85 ° C.
Well equipped microcontroller saves on external components to simplify design and reduce the size of the end product. For exterior design uses technology wafer-level chip-scale package, the essence of which - in the installation of ball played directly on the crystal, through which it is soldered to the printed circuit board tracks devices.
Deliveries study samples Kinetis KL02 key customers due to start in March. Widely available, they will appear in July. Estimated price of goods of named of 0.75 apiece in a party of 100 000.
