The Kinetis KV5x family of MCUs is a high-
performance solution offering exceptional precision,
sensing, and control for some of the most demanding
applications in motor control and power conversion.
Built upon the ARM Cortex-M7 core running at 240
MHz with single precision floating point unit, it
features advanced high-speed and high-accuracy
peripherals such as high-resolution pulse width
modulation (PWM) with 312-picosecond resolution,
four 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs)
sampling at 5 mega samples per second (MSPS), a total
of 44 PWM channels for support of multi-motor
systems with PFC, three FlexCAN modules and
optional Ethernet communications. The KV5x is
supported by a comprehensive enablement suite from
Freescale and third-party resources including reference
designs, software libraries, and motor configuration
tools.
