2 NXP Semiconductors
2. Kinetis KE1xF sub-family overview
Kinetis KE1xF MCUs are the high-end series MCUs in Kinetis E family, providing robust 5V solution
with the high performance ARM Cortex-M4 core running at up to 168 MHz. The KE1xF offers multiple
ADCs and FlexTimers, a CAN 2.0B-compliant FlexCAN module and a broad suite of communication
interfaces including LPUARTs, LPI2Cs, LPSPIs, and FlexIO which provide flexibility for serial
communication emulation. The devices range from 256 KB flash in 64LQFP package extending up to
512 KB flash in 100LQFP package.
• KE14F: broad offering with mixed-signal integration, ADCs, DAC, ACMPs, FlexTimers.
• KE16F: expansion from KE14F family, with addition of 1 x FlexCAN module.
• KE18F: expansion from KE14F family, with addition of 2 x FlexCAN module.
3. Kinetis KE1xF key product features
