Mouser Stocks Freescale’s Kinetis KL02, the World’s Smallest ARM Powered MCU

Mouser Electronics, Inc. is now stocking the Freescale Kinetis KL02 microcontroller that combines the world’s smallest ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor running at 48MHz with improved energy efficiency and feature integration.

Freescale's Kinetis KL02 microcontroller, available from Mouser Electronics in a Chip Scale Package (CSP), is the world's smallest ARM® Cortex™-M0+ based microcontroller. The Freescale Kinetis KL02 uses 25% less PC board area than the nearest competing microcontroller and adds 60% more General Purpose I/O (GPIO).

The energy-saving architecture is optimized for low power, benefiting from 90nm TFS technology as well as clock and power gating techniques. This microcontroller also boasts a low power boot option, an efficient bit manipulation engine, a peripheral bridge crossbar for more efficient peripheral intercommunications and zero wait state flash memory. A variety of built-in low power modes provide flexible software options for maximizing battery life.

Features include 32 Kbytes of Flash, 4 Kbytes of RAM, serial connectivity, a 12-bit A/D converter (ADC), low power timers, integrated temperature sensor, memory security circuitry, and on-chip debug.

Also available from Mouser Electronics is the FRDM-KL02Z Freedom Development Platform to help engineers discover more about the KL02 MCU. To learn more, visit http://www.mouser.com/new/freescalesemiconductor/freescale-kinetis/.
