Embedded Solutions Based on ARM® Technology
Low-Power MCU Design
Kinetis L series MCUs include many of the same low-power features as the higher performance K series ARM Cortex-M4 MCUs, but provide additional capabilities for batteryoperated applications. The Kinetis L series MCUs supplement the exceptional energy efficiency of the ARM Cortex-M0+ core with the latest in low-power process technology, platform design, operating modes and energysaving peripherals. Combined, these increase the time spent in deep sleep modes, minimizing CPU activitiy and extending battery life.
· 10 ultra-low-power modes: Run mode at 3 volts and 48 MHz consumes 84 µA/MHz*. Multiple deep sleep modes with clock and power gating options consume as little as 150 nA* at 3 volts (VLLS0 mode).
· Energy-saving peripherals: System, timing, communication and HMI peripherals operate in deep sleep modes, allowing them to collect, process and store data without waking up the CPU.
· Bit manipulation engine: Decorated load and store capability for improved peripheral processing efficiency for AND/OR/XOR/ CLEAR FLAG/SET FLAG/BIT EXTRACTION functions to individual bits (ideal for 8/16-bit applications where manipulating individual bits is very common).
· Low-power I/O pin configuration: I/O pins default to a low-power configuration, disconnecting pin from digital logic and eliminating need to configure un-used I/O pins to reduce pin leakage.
Kinetis Compatibility
· KL0 family: Hardware compatible with 8-bit S08Px family in the same package footprint, providing a hardware migration path for customers moving from 8- to 32-bit. Software compatible with all Kinetis L series families.
· KL1/2/3/4 families: Hardware and software compatible with each other and with Kinetis K series equivalent families (KL1 and K10, KL2 and K20, KL3 and K30, KL4 and K40).

Vybrid Controller Solutions
A multicore platform for industrial applications
The increasing complexity and demands of embedded systems creates greater need for sophisticated human-machine interfaces (HMI) and multiple connectivity options with safe, secure and predictable operation. To concurrently provide rich HMI and real-time control means bringing together two very different system paradigms. For example, HMI computation focuses on efficiently processing pixels and displaying them on a screen, while guaranteed determinism requires highly predictable response times for tasks.
A traditional systems-level solution for such divergent needs would combine different pieces of silicon, such as an applications MPU and a real-time MCU, on a board. It would also require developing software and a protocol to enable simultaneous communication between real-time control and rich HMI. Application developers face a tremendous challenge of seamlessly integrating these diverse technologies in a single system.
Our Vybrid portfolio brings to market a unique, low-power system solution that provides customers a way to combine rich applications requiring high-resolution graphical displays and connectivity with real-time determinism. The Vybrid portfolio enables customers to create systems that concurrently run a highlevel operating system such as Linux® and a real-time operating system such as MQXTM on the same device. This, along with a communication API between the rich domain, the real-time domain and a tool chain that eases debug of such systems, dramatically shortens customer time to revenue. The families in the Vybrid portfolio span entry-level products for customers who want to upgrade from the Kinetis MCU to devices with large on-chip SRAM up to highly integrated, dualcore solutions intended to serve industrial markets.

Vybrid Controller Solutions
Scalable Across Multiple Cores
Vybrid devices have a dual-core architecture that combines the ARM® CortexTM-A5 application processor and the ARM CortexTM-M4 for real-time control. The Vybrid portfolio is designed to be a transitional product from Kinetis MCUs featuring the ARM Cortex-M4 core and the i.MX 6 series featuring the ARM CortexTM-A9 core, while also providing scalable devices that can address the needs of a market that demands critical safety and security, connectivity and rich HMI in the same piece of silicon. The Vybrid roadmap is built with this scalability and code compatibility in mind so that the performance of the device roadmap grows with the customer's needs long into the future.
One of the key benefits of the Vybrid architecture that combines the ARM Cortex-A5 core with the ARM Cortex-M4 core is the partitioning of tasks based on their characteristics. For tasks that need predictable interrupt management, for example, a typical need for real-time applications, the Vybrid platform has the ARM Cortex-M4 core with a Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC) while
allowing graphical applications and connectivity stacks to be run on the ARM Cortex-A5 applications processor.
Software can be segmented so that tasks that need predictable latencies can be run on the ARM Cortex-M4 core and computer-intensive processes run on the ARM Cortex-A5 core.
Total System Solution
Vybrid devices take a total system approach. Complementing the low-power silicon is a reference Linux BSP, a full-featured MQX RTOS, reference MQX BSP and a processorto-processor communication API that lets customers partition their code between the ARM Cortex-A5 (e.g., running Linux) and ARM Cortex-M4 (e.g., running MQX) to implement the lowest power solution for their application demands. In addition, customers have access to industry-leading IDE tool chains such as ARM DS-5TM and IAR. A selection of connectivity, motor control, LCD, security stacks and drivers is also available. Vybrid devices are supported by Freescale's Tower System, offering the flexibility to easily scale and expand customer designs based

on market need. Tower Systems allow rapid prototyping in a development platform that maximizes hardware reuse and speeds time to market.
Low-Power Process
One of the critical foundational pieces of the Vybrid platform is its low-power process technology. The devices in this portfolio are fabricated in the 40 nm low-power process. This enables more integration for a given power envelope thus dissipating much less power for the same device.
Unprecedented System Integration
The Vybrid platform has an unprecedented level of system integration for a solution of its class. The centerpiece is the core complex featuring the ARM Cortex-A5 and ARM Cortex-M4 cores.
ARM Cortex-A5 Core
The ARM Cortex-A5 processor is a highperformance, low-power core with an L1 and L2 cache subsystem that provides full virtual memory capabilities, double precision floating-point unit (FPU) and the NEON media processing engine. It is intended as an upgrade for the ARM9TM and ARM11TM cores and is architecturally compatible with Cortex-A9. The ARM Cortex-A5 also has TrustZone® technology for creating secure applications.

Embedded Solutions Based on ARM® Technology
ARM Cortex-M4 Core
The ARM Cortex-M4 core retains all the advantages of the ARM CortexTM-M3 core with an NVIC, which gives deterministic interrupt handling capability demanded by real-time applications along with tightly coupled memory (TCM). Determinism is a factor of NVIC + TCM. The ARM Cortex-M4 adds digital signal processing (DSP) capability in the form of DSP and SIMD instruction extensions, a single cycle MAC unit and single precision FPU. In addition, Freescale has added a direct memory access (DMA) controller, crossbar switch and L1 on-chip cache memories, which maximize processor performance and bus bandwidth.
Communication Interfaces
Vybrid devices feature a number of connectivity peripherals, including dual USB 2.0 (Low-, Full- and High-Speed) device/host/On-The-Go with integrated PHYs, dual 10/100 Ethernet with layer 2 Ethernet switch with IEEE® 1588 hardware time stamping and reduced media independent interface (RMII) support for realtime industrial control. Multiple serial interfaces include UARTs with support for ISO7816 SIM/ smart cards, SPI and I2C, while dual CAN modules enable industrial network bridging.
Support for External Peripherals and Memory
In addition to having up to 1.5 MB of on-chip SRAM for speedy code and data execution, Vybrid devices can interface to a variety of external peripherals and memories for system expansion and data storage. Dual quad SPI interfaces with execute-in-place (XiP) support can interface with the latest flash memory to offer up to 160 MB/s of throughput. This allows for a very powerful single-chip solution when the large DDR memory sizes are not required. A secure digital host controller supports SD, SDIO, MMC or CE-ATA cards for in-application software upgrades, media files or adding Wi-Fi® support. For interfacing to external peripherals such as external SRAM, EEPROM and other peripherals, a FlexBus external bus interface is provided. NAND flash and DRAM controllers with ECC support allow connection to a wide variety

Video Interface Unit (VIU)
For image and vision capture, a VIU provides a 24-bit parallel interface for digital video. In addition, an optional video ADC will convert composite video into digital format.
Reliability, Safety and Security
Vybrid devices include a variety of data integrity and security hardware features for safeguarding memory, communication and system data. A cyclic redundancy check module is available for validating memory contents and communication data, while a memory protection unit provides data protection and increased software reliability. For fail-safe applications, an independently clocked watchdog offers protection against runaway code. When it comes to security, a hardware encryption unit supports several encryption and hashing algorithms for program validation as well as authentication and securing data for transfer and storage. The system security module includes a unique chip identifier, secure key storage and a hardware tamper detection system. The tamper detection system has integrated sensors for voltage, frequency, temperature and external sensing for physical attack detection.
Optimal System Performance
Vybrid devices are ideal for modern industrial applications that require higher integration of communication and connectivity interfaces, as well as HMI and UI acceleration. Customers can easily take full advantage of all the integrated Vybrid features to create differentiated products by leveraging the provided reference board support packages (BSP) for high-level operating systems (such as Linux) and real-time operating systems (such as MQX), which include libraries and media framework tuned to the silicon architecture. The combination of high-efficiency silicon design, low-leakage process technology and software tuned for the silicon architecture results in low power consumption, eliminating the need for a fan or heat sink and helping to lower overall system BOM cost. As an example, because the platform architecture partitions tasks between the applications processor and the deterministic MCU, the ARM Cortex-M4 core helps to improve efficiency in industrial motor control applications that can result in a reduced carbon footprint.
