K60_100: Kinetis K60 Ethernet Crypto 100 MHz MCUs

The K60_100 wafer-level chip-scale package (WLCSP) is a 32-bit microcontroller (built on the ARM® Cortex™-M4 core), with a 5 x 5 mm package and 0.4 mm pitch, making this the smallest package in the Kinetis K series. This new package maximizes board space and enhances performance with minimum-length interconnections, allowing the miniaturization of existing applications.

These devices are part of the Kinetis K60 MCU family which includes IEEE 1588 Ethernet, full-speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go with device charge detect capability, hardware encryption and tamper detection capabilities. Devices start from 256 KB of flash in 100-pin LQFP packages extending up to 512 KB in a 144-pin MAPBGA package with a rich suite of analog, communication, timing and control peripherals.

Features

Ultra-Low-Power

10 low-power modes with power and clock gating for optimal peripheral activity and recovery times. Stop currents down to 2 µA, and run currents of <350 µA/MHz, with 4 µs wake-up from Stop mode
Full memory and analog operation down to 1.71 volts for extended battery life
Low-leakage wake-up unit with up to eight internal modules and 16 pins as wake-up sources in low-leakage stop (LLS)/very low-leakage stop (VLLS) modes
Low-power timer for continual system operation in reduced power state

Flash, SRAM and FlexMemory

256 KB - 512 KB flash. Fast access, high reliability with four-level security protection
64 KB-128 KB of SRAM
FlexMemory: 32 bytes-4KB of user-segmentable byte write/erase EEPROM for data tables/system data. EEPROM with over 10M cycles and flash with 70 µsec write time (brownouts without data loss/corruption). No user or system intervention to complete programming and erase functions and full operation down to 1.71 volts. In addition, upto 256 KB can be used for extra program code, data or EEPROM backup

Mixed-Signal Capability

Two high-speed 16-bit analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) with configurable resolution. Single or differential output mode operation for improved noise rejection. 500 ns conversion time achievable with programmable delay block triggering
