2 K10 Family Introduction
The K10 family is the entry point into the Kinetis portfolio. Devices start from 32 KB of flash in a small-footprint 5 x 5 mm
32 QFN package extending up to 1 MB in a 144MAPBGA package with a rich suite of analog, communication, security,
timing and control peripherals. High memory density K10 family devices include a single precision floating point unit and
NAND flash controller. Additionally, pin compatibility, flexible low-power capabilities and innovative FlexMemory help to
solve many of the major pain points for system implementation.
The K12 product family members are additional devices within the K10 family with lower power and higher memory
densities in smaller packages. The K11 family adds Tamper functionality to the K12 device. Within the K11 and K12
families, devices range from 128 KB to 512 KB of flash memory. Package options include 48 LQFP up to 121 MAPBGA.
