NXP MCX C15 & MCX C16

The NXP MCX C15 and MCX C16 are cost optimized 32 bit microcontrollers designed for entry level industrial and IoT applications. Built around an Arm Cortex M23 core running at up to 72 MHz, they combine efficient processing performance with advanced analog and control features that are typically found in higher end devices.

With up to 64 KB Flash and 16 KB SRAM, the MCX C15 and MCX C16 provide an ideal platform for sensor monitoring, motor control, power management, and connected embedded applications. Integrated features including a 16 bit ADC, comparator with DAC, and FlexPWM motor control peripherals enable designers to implement precise measurement and control functions while maintaining low system cost.

For developers looking to migrate from legacy 8 bit, 16 bit, or Cortex M0+ based MCUs, the MCX C Series offers a straightforward upgrade path with increased performance, enhanced scalability, and access to the wider NXP MCX ecosystem. Compatibility with existing LPC800, LPC1100, Kinetis, and MCX A Series devices helps simplify development and accelerate design migration.
