Kinetis KE1xZ256 Family Feature Summary
Kinetis KE1xZ256 Highly Robust General-Purpose MCUs, Product Brief, Rev. 0, 05/2016
2 NXP Semiconductors
2. Kinetis KE1xZ256 Family Overview
The Kinetis KE1xZ256 MCUs are the most powerful MCUs from the KE1xZ family, based on the ARM
Cortex-M0+ core. With up to 256 KB flash, 32 KB RAM, and a complete set of analog/digital features,
the KE1xZ256 MCUs extend the Kinetis E family to a higher performance and a broader scalability.
The robust TSI provides a high level of stability and accuracy to your HMI system. The 1-Msps ADC
and FlexTimer modules provide a perfect solution for BLDC motor-control systems.
• KE14Z—a broad offering with mixed-signal integration, ADCs, DAC, ACMPs, and FlexTimers
• KE15Z—an expansion from the KE14Z family with an additional TSI module
3. Kinetis KE1xZ256 Family Key Features
• 72-MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ core for a broad range of processing bandwidth requirements, while
maintaining excellent cost-effectiveness, easy-to-use packages, and a wide range of memory
densities.
• Enhanced and robust I/Os for high performance, even in noisy environments.
• Robust TSI supports both the mutual-cap mode and the self-cap mode, providing flexibility for
up to 36 touch keys.
• FlexTimer-featured 8-channel PWM for 3-phase motor control with dead-time insertion and fault
detection.
• 1-Msps 12-bit ADC with up to a 16-channel input per module with a fast sampling rate for
prompt data conversion and storage.
• Analog comparator for a fast response to external analog changes.
• Programmable delay block with a flexible trigger system providing various interconnections for
on-chip modules (ADC, DAC, Flextimers, ACMP, and so on).
• FlexIO for a flexible serial communication interface implementation.
• Boot ROM for on-chip boot code and serial port drivers which saves flash space and provides
flexible boot options and in-system programming support.
• Faster time to market with comprehensive enablement solutions, including SDK (drivers,
libraries, stacks), IDE, bootloader, RTOS, online community, and more.
