MCX C Series MCUs

NXP MCUs offer a reliable, cost-effective solution with energy-saving, low-power peripherals

Image of NXP MCX C Series MCUs NXP MCX C series microcontroller units (MCUs) offer a broad portfolio of easy-to-use, cost-effective 32-bit solutions for general-purpose, industrial, and IoT applications. Across the series, developers can select from scalable performance, memory, package, analog, connectivity, and control options to match the needs of each design.

The established MCX C04x, C14x, C24x, and C44x families are based on the Arm® Cortex®-M0+ core and provide a proven foundation for cost-sensitive embedded control. These devices combine low-power operation with flexible memory and package options, precision analog, timers, and communication interfaces, with USB and segment LCD available on selected products.

The MCX C15 and MCX C16 expand the portfolio with Arm Cortex-M23 options operating at up to 72 MHz. These families complement the established MCX C devices by adding higher entry-level performance, precision analog, and flexible control capabilities, including a 16-bit ADC, comparator with internal DAC, integrated op amp, and FlexPWM for cost-sensitive sensing, control, and entry-level motor-control applications.

The complete MCX C portfolio is supported by the MCUXpresso developer experience and low-cost, compact FRDM development boards, providing a consistent path from evaluation and rapid prototyping through application development.
