Hello David!
Great to know you would like to get one. The Press Release announced that the Kinetis KL02 CSP MCU is expected to begin sampling to lead customers in March 2013. Broad market availability of production-qualified samples is planned for July 2013 from Freescale and its distribution partners.
Which means you won't have to wait 12 months at all! :smileygrin:
If you have further questions let us know, or if you want to learn more, visit freescale.com/Kinetis/KL02CSP.
Regards!
