Kinetis V Series MCUs

Motor Control & Power Conversion (MCUs) based
on ARM® Cortex®M0+/M4/M7 cores

Kinetis V Series MCUs
Based on the ARM® Cortex®M0+/M4/M7 cores

NXP’s Kinetis V series MCUs are based upon the ARM® Cortex® M0+, M4 and M7 cores and are designed for BLDC, PMSM and ACIM motor control, as well as digital power conversion applications. The Kinetis KV1x family is the entry point and features a 75 MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ core with a hardware square root and divide block giving it a 27% increase in performance vs. comparable 32-bit MCUs in sensorless PMSM control.

With an ARM Cortex-M4 core, floating point unit and clock frequencies of up to 168 MHz, the Kinetis KV3x and Kinetis KV4x MCU families extend the Kinetis V series to higher dynamic control systems including those with multiple motors. The Kinetis 1x and KV3x MCUs feature dual 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) sampling at up to 1.2 mega samples per second (MS/s) in 12-bit mode, multiple motor control timers and 16-512 KB of Flash memory. The Kinetis KV4x MCU family includes advanced analog and timing peripherals from NXP's digital signal controller (DSC) portfolio to address the requirements of digital power conversion applications. All families are supported by a full enablement suite from NXP and third-party resources, including reference designs, software libraries and motor configuration tools.
