NXP Semiconductors MCX L Ultra Low Power Microcontrollers - Coming Soon

NXP Semiconductors MCX L Ultra Low Power Microcontrollers feature an Arm® Cortex®-M33 core operating up to 96MHz and an Arm Cortex-M0+ core up to 10MHz. This series features the Adaptive Dynamic Voltage Control (ADVC) by NXP for optimized power consumption at low-frequency operation. Compared to traditional low-power MCUs, a dedicated ultra-low-power (ULP) Sense Domain allows the operation of low-power peripherals while keeping the central core in Deep Power Mode. The ULP avoids event triggering and keeps data acquisition at extremely low power levels. The dual-domain architecture of the MCX L MCUs also enables the physical separation of applications, on top of code isolation provided by TrustZone on the Cortex-M33 core, simplifying the development and certification of metrology applications. The MCX L Series features EdgeLock® security capabilities for secure boot and crypto accelerators to meet demanding requirements for wired and over-the-air low-power transactions.
