Designed for evaluating low-power Cortex-M0+ based designs that require USB capability, Farnell element14 now offers the new Freescale Kinetis KL27/17 Cortex-M0+ based Freedom Platform with USB. The Kinetis KL series of MCUs is one of the most energy-efficient MCUs in its class. The new Kinetis FRDM-KL27Z Cortex-M0+ based Freedom Platform with USB OTG features a Flex I/O module, ROM Bootloader and low power crystal-less USB functionality. The energy efficient 48MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ core, multiple low power modes and autonomous low power peripherals including USB ‘Keep Alive’ Mode make this ideal for low-power or battery-operated applications. Tool support includes free Kinetis Design Studio IDE, Software Development Kit and Processor Expert. The main silicon is available in an ultra-small 36XFBGA (3.5mm x 3.5mm x 0.5mm) package. Example uses include portable and handheld consumer devices such as home health, remote controls and rechargeable devices.
