Freescale Kinetis L Series microcontrollers are now available

Freescale Semiconductor’s ARM Cortex-M0+ processor based Kinetis L series microcontrollers (MCUs) are now available.

The first member of the Kinetis L series, the KL25 MCU, and the Freescale Freedom development platform are readily available through global semiconductor and electronic component distributors and suppliers, including element 14, Digi-Key Corporation and Mouser Electronics.

“We’ve driven an aggressive timeline to get the world’s most energy-efficient MCUs into our customers’ hands as soon as possible,” said Geoff Lees, vice president and general manager of Freescale’s Industrial & Multi-Market MCU business. “Six months after the announcement of the ARM Cortex-M0+ core, Freescale is delivering the fully qualified Kinetis L series in volume production quantities to help legacy 8- and 16-bit users ease the transition to 32-bit.”
