MK53DN512ZCLQ10 and MK53DN512CLQ10 difference

[ign]

hi,

we have been using since long time kinetis micro MK53DN512ZCLQ10 without problem. 

On last production batch, instead that reference, it has been assembled MK53DN512CLQ10, which only diference is the silicon revision

I can flash the firmware inside but boards does not work at all. So, which are the differences between both?, by datasheet i can not find any...

Will, in theory, the MK53DN512ZCLQ10 firmware be 100%compatible to MK53DN512CLQ10' including also the flash tool/setup ?

thanks in advanced for your help.

Hi Pablo, thanks for your quick reply.

Understood. Thanks for the confirmation! this product is at the end of his life, so i think will be easy if i purchase the old one for a while and then thats it..

thanks!

Hi @ign,

The MK53DN512ZCLQ10 is rev1.x 100MHz silicon while MK53DN512CLQ10 is rev 2.x 100MHz. So they are different.

That's why the old rev1.x silicon product is not recommended for new design.

This newer version is not 100% compatible with older version, this because new functionalities are added with the update.

If you want you can check this by comparing both references manual and header files.

We recommend you to generate a new project with the MK53DN512CLQ10 in order to have the updated header files.

An apology for the inconvenience.

Best Regards

Pablo
