Product details

48 MHz Cortex-M0+ with 16 KB Flash — entry-level 32-bit control

The NXP MKL05Z16VLF4 is a Kinetis KL0 series 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU clocked at 48 MHz, with 16 KB Flash and 2 KB RAM. It packs 41 general-purpose I/O, a 14-channel 12-bit ADC, a single 12-bit DAC, plus I²C, SPI, and UART serial interfaces.

Memory and peripheral budget — what fits

16 KB Flash and 2 KB RAM are tight for a 32-bit core. Firmware must stay lean — no heavy RTOS or large lookup tables. The 12-bit ADC and DAC suit single-cycle sensor read-and-respond loops; the DMA offloads data movement without stalling the core.

Frequently asked questions

What is MKL05Z16VLF4's listed speed?

The core runs at 48 MHz — the Cortex-M0+ pipeline delivers one instruction per cycle for most ALU operations, so throughput is roughly 48 MIPS.

What compliance documentation does NXP provide for MKL05Z16VLF4?

NXP provides RoHS and REACH compliance declarations for the Kinetis KL0 series. The 48-LQFP package is lead-free and halogen-free per NXP's standard material declaration.
