32-bit MCUs
Kinetis K50 Family
Integrated measurement engine, Ethernet and LCD
Target Applications
• Low-power portable medical devices
• Clinical and lab equipment
• Test/measurement equipment
• Instrumentation applications
• Monitor and telehealth applications
Overview
The Kinetis MCU portfolio consists of multiple pin-, peripheral and software-compatible MCU families
based on the ARM
®
Cortex™-M4 core. Kinetis MCU families are built from innovative 90 nm thin-film
storage (TFS) flash technology with unique FlexMemory (EEPROM) capability and offer industry-
leading low power and mixed signal analog integration.
The K50 MCU family provides designers with an analog measurement engine consisting of
integrated operational and transimpedance amplifiers as well as high-resolution ADC and DAC
modules. The family also features IEEE
®
1588 Ethernet and hardware encryption, Full-Speed
USB 2.0 On-The-Go with device charger detect capability and a flexible low-power segment LCD
controller with support for up to 320 segments. Devices start from 128 KB of flash in 64 QFN
packages extending up to 512 KB in a 144 MAPBGA package.

Benefits
• Up to 100 MHz core supporting a broad range of processing bandwidth needs
• Peripheral and memory servicing with reduced CPU loading. Concurrent multi-master
bus accesses for increased bus bandwidth
• High-resolution and high-accuracy ADC provides accurate signal acquisition
• Digital-to-analog converter with clock gating optimized for low-power usage
• PDB precisely triggers ADC and DAC blocks to complete sensor biasing and
measurement (i.e. glucometry strips)
• OPAMPS allow signal filtering and amplification, TRIAMPS are optimized for
converting current inputs into voltages that can be read by the ADC
• VREF allows enhanced accuracy by supplying analog peripherals with fixed reference
• Precision clock synchronization for real-time networked industrial automation
and control
• Secure data transfer and storage. Faster than software implementations and with
minimal CPU loading. Supports a wide variety of algorithms
• Optimized charging current/time for portable USB devices enabling longer battery life
USB low-voltage regulator supplies up to 120 mA off chip at 3.3 V to power external
components from 5 V input
• LCD blink mode enables low average power while remaining in low-power mode
• Segment fail detect guards against erroneous readouts and reduces LCD test costs
• Frontplane/backplane reassignment provides pin-out flexibility easing PCB design
and allows LCD configuration changes via firmware with no hardware re-work
• Supports multiple 3 V and 5 V LCD panel sizes with fewer segments (pins) than
competitive controllers and no external components
• Unused LCD pins can be configured as other GPIO functions
• Enables the connection of external memories and peripherals (e.g., graphics displays)
• Connection to SD, SDIO, MMC or CE-ATA cards for in-application software
upgrades, file systems or adding Wi-Fi
®
or Bluetooth
®
support
• High reliability, fast access program memory with 4-level security protection
• Independent flash banks allow concurrent code execution and firmware updating

In addition, Flex NVM from 32–256 KB for extra program code, data or
EEPROM backup
• Flexible, low-power LCD controller
with support for up to 320 segments
(40 x 8 or 44 x 4)
• FlexBus external bus interface and
secure digital host controller
• 128–512 KB flash.
