Global distributor Mouser Electronics is stocking the Freescale Semiconductor 32-bit Kinetis Cortex-M4 microcontroller family. Freescale is one of the first companies to introduce production M4 products. The ARM Cortex-M4 processor is the latest embedded processor by ARM specifically developed to address digital signal control markets that demand an efficient, easy-to-use blend of control and signal processing capabilities.
Combined high-performance, low-power and low-cost, the Cortex-M4 family is suitable for motor control, automotive, power management, embedded audio, and industrial automation markets.
According to Freescale Semiconductor the 32-bit Kinetis microcontrollers represent the most scalable portfolio of ARM Cortex M4 MCUs in the industry. The Kinetis product line consists of five MCU families with more than 200 pin-, peripheral-, and software-compatible devices with outstanding performance and feature scalability. Also available is a suite of development tools, including controller boards for Freescale's Tower System and evaluation kits, as well as software tools from Keil and Micrium to enable rapid development of new Cortex M4-based systems.
