Product details

At 48 MHz the Cortex-M0+ delivers enough throughput for real-time control loops like brushless DC motor commutation, keypad scanning with debounce, and segment LCD refresh without a separate display driver. The single-cycle I/O access and nested vectored interrupt controller keep latency predictable for time-critical sensor reads. If your firmware needs more headroom for floating-point math or heavy protocol stacks, the Cortex-M0+ lacks a hardware FPU — plan for software emulation or a Cortex-M4 sibling.

The 64 KB Flash and 8 KB RAM support a bootloader, a real-time kernel, a segment LCD driver, and communication stacks.

The KL3 series includes a segment LCD controller (up to 8x40 or 4x44 segments), a 16-bit ADC, DMA, and a full set of timers with PWM.

Frequently asked questions

What are the differences between MKL36Z64VLH4 and MKL36Z128VLH4?

The only difference is Flash memory size — 64 KB versus 128 KB. Both share the same 64-LQFP package, pinout, 48 MHz Cortex-M0+ core, 8 KB RAM, and peripheral set.

Is MKL36Z64VLH4 compatible with 3.3V logic?

Yes — the supply range of 1.71 V to 3.6 V covers 3.3 V operation directly, and all I/O pins are 3.3 V tolerant.
