OVERVIEW
The K32 L3 MCU family delivers significant improvements in
power optimization and security advancements to address
a wide range of industrial and IoT applications. The K32 L3
family provides new enhancements such as low-leakage,
power-optimized peripherals, a DC-DC converter, and
security features like authenticated boot, secure update
and tamper detection pins.
The K32 L3 family includes a high-performance Arm
®
Cortex
®
-M4 processor and an optional low-power Cortex-M0+
processor, ideal for applications that require a host MCU and
Building on the success and wide adoption of the Kinetis MCU portfolio, the K32
L3 MCU family is designed to deliver a power-optimized implementation along with
advanced security capabilities and protection from physical tamper events.
K32 L3 MCU Family
Dual-core, highly
secure, energy-
efficient MCU
a low-power MCU. With up to 1.25 MB flash and up to 384 kB
SRAM, the K32 L3 family offers ample memory resources to
address different applications tasks in a small form factor, low-
power, and highly secure design.
The introduction of the K32 L3 family is the start of a long line
of MCUs which will further advance our security and power
optimization to lead the market in next-generation, power-
conscious and low-leakage applications.
