What this MK60DN512VMD10 brings to the board
The NXP MK60DN512VMD10 is a 32-bit microcontroller built around an ARM Cortex-M4 core clocked at 100 MHz. It carries 512 KB of Flash program memory and 128 KB of RAM.
Peripherals and connectivity — what the interfaces mean for your design
The connectivity list (CANbus, Ethernet, I²C, SPI, UART/USART, USB OTG, IrDA, SD) covers the common industrial and IoT communication stacks. Ethernet with on-chip MAC saves an external controller for gateway or HMI nodes. The EBI/EMI bus lets you attach parallel SRAM, NOR Flash, or an FPGA without bit-banging GPIO — useful for data-logging or display-buffer expansion. The 42-channel 16-bit ADC and dual 12-bit DAC handle multi-sensor acquisition and analog output loops without an external converter. DMA and I²S support streaming audio or high-speed data movement without loading the core.
Lifecycle and sourcing — active, no LTB watch needed
This part is listed as Active, with no NRND or end-of-life flags. ROHS3 compliant. For a BOM freeze, there's no near-term obsolescence risk.
