The KL8x MCU family also extends AES/DES/SHA/RSA/ECC
and tamper detection security features to the Kinetis L series
portfolio. These advancements are done while maintaining
a high level of compatibility with previous Kinetis devices.
Kinetis KL8x MCUs are performance efficient and offer
industry-leading low power while providing significant BOM
savings through smart on-chip integration. The Kinetis L series
is supported by a comprehensive set of development tools,
software and enablement.
Kinetis KL8x MCUs offer symmetric cryptographic acceleration
as a standard feature along with full-speed USB 2.0 On-The-Go
(OTG), including options for crystal-less device functionality.
The KL8x MCUs have 128 KB flash space and 96 KB SRAM. In
addition to the embedded memory resources, the integrated
QuadSPI interface supports connections to non-volatile
memory (serial NOR), allowing developers to expand beyond
the boundaries of a traditional MCU. With the extended
memory resources and new security features, developers can
safely and quickly enhance their embedded applications
with greater capability.
The KL8x MCU family offers the security, scalability, and
flexibility to address the challenges of creating smart devices
for the Internet of Tomorrow.
