Product details

The NXP MKL26Z256VLH4 is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU from the Kinetis KL2 series, clocked at 48 MHz with 256 KB Flash and 32 KB RAM. It carries USB OTG alongside I²C, SPI, UART/USART, and LINbus connectivity, plus a 16-bit ADC and 12-bit DAC. The 48 MHz core speed is the practical throughput ceiling for control loops and USB packet handling in this class — enough for sensor fusion or a Modbus gateway, not a high-speed data acquisition front-end.

The 256 KB Flash (256K x 8) and 32 KB RAM (32K x 8) set the firmware budget. The RAM limits real-time data buffering and heap allocation.

No last-time-buy notice or end-of-life announcement is on record. For a BOM freeze, this is the green-light state — no PCN watch needed for the near term.

Frequently asked questions

Can MKL26Z256VLH4 support USB OTG?

Yes, the connectivity block includes USB OTG alongside USB, I²C, SPI, UART/USART, and LINbus.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to MKL26Z256VLH4?

The MKL26Z128VLH4 is pin-compatible and shares the same package and peripheral set, but halves the Flash to 128 KB. The footprint and BOM layout are identical.

What is the operating voltage of MKL26Z256VLH4?

The supply voltage range is 1.71 V to 3.6 V (Vcc/Vdd).
