Kinetis E
Kinetis E Portfolio
The Kinetis E portfolio is a 5V MCU family that includes MCUs ranging from 8KB up to 512KB
Flash, from 20 MHz Arm® Cortex®‐M0+ MCUs to 168 MHz Arm Cortex‐M4 MCUs, and
peripherals such as CAN, Touch, and ECC to address a variety of application requirements. With
2.7‐5.5 V supply and focus on EMC/ESD robustness, Kinetis E family is well suited for a wide
range of applications in electrical harsh environments
Kinetis KE1xZ Product Family
The 5 V Kinetis KE1xZ MCU family features a 48/72 MHz Arm Cortex‐M0+ core with up to 256
KB flash, 32 KB SRAM, and a complete set of analog/digital features. The new Touch Sense
Interface (TSI) provides a high level of stability and accuracy for your HMI system, while the 1‐
Msps ADC and FlexTimer modules offer a perfect solution for Brushless DC (BLDC) motor‐
control systems.
Kinetis KE1xZ64/32 Product Family
KE1xZ64 product family is based on CM0+ core running at 48 MHz, offering smaller memory
options: 64KB/8KB or 32KB/4KB Flash/SRAM. It expands the KE1xZ series down to 64KB and
32KB flash options, 8KB and 4KB SRAM options, leading to optimized BOM cost along with TSI
and CAN interfaces
• KE14Z: broad offering with mixed‐signal integration, ADC, ACMP, Timers, PDB, now ranging
from 32KB Flash to 256KB Flash
• KE15Z: expansion from KE14Z family, with addition of TSI module, now ranging from 32KB
Flash to 256KB Flash
• KE16Z: NEW, expanding from KE15Z family, with addition of CAN module
