1. Out of the Box

The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost and improved performance empowering state-of-the-art systems.

This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the KITPF0300FRDMEVM board.

2. Get to Know the Hardware

The KITPF0300FRDMEVM kit provides an integrated platform for evaluating designs based on NXP's PF0300 PMIC. All PF0300 features can be accessed and monitored in a test environment.

The kit hardware consists of the KITPF0300FRDMEVM evaluation board, a FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller board, and the USB cable required to connect the FRDM-KL25Z to the PC.

The KITPF0300FRDMEVM evaluation board features an individual PF0300 soldered on board. Connectors, jumpers, and switches on the board can be used to configure an evaluation environment that meets specific design requirements. The board also contains LEDs and test points that provide a means of monitoring performance in real time.

The FRDM-KL25Z is mounted to Arduino connectors on the bottom of the KITPF0300FRDMEVM board. The role of the FRDM-KL25Z is to manage serial peripheral interface (SPI) communication between the KITPF0300FRDMEVM board and the GUI installed on the PC. The FRDM- KL25Z draws power from the USB cable connected to the PC.

2.1 Board Features

  • Phoenix (3.81 mm) male connectors for switches and LDOs
  • Selectable Debug mode, Normal mode and Test mode
  • VDDOTP and PWRON to power up the device in different modes
  • PGOOD, INTB/RSTB, SYNC and XFAIL pins
  • USB to I²C protocol for easy connection to software GUI
  • LEDs, green and red, indicate signal or regulator status
  • LED blue to indicate VDDOTP pin is set to 8 V (OTP burning voltage)
  • Header connectors for monitoring outputs
  • Advanced system monitoring via KL25 MCU ADC

3.1 Configure Hardware

The procedure for setting up the KITPF0300FRDMEVM board is as follows:

  1. Make sure the board has the jumpers configured in their default position as shown in Figure 1. The default configuration enables the board to be fully controlled by the FRDM-KL25Z and the GUI. Figure 2. KITPF0300FRDMEVM Board Setup

  2. Connect the power supply to J4 (Phoenix connector - 3.81 mm). The power supply should be set to an initial value of 5.0 V.

    Note: Please check that J26 jumper is OFF, the USB_TO_5V supply mode cannot be used at the same time as J4 and cannot be used when loads are connected to the board.

  3. Verify that the FRDM-KL25Z board is firmly mounted to the KITPF0300FRDMEVM board. Also, make sure that the USB cable between the FRDM-KL25Z and the PC is securely connected. This connection is critical because the USB port serves as a communication channel between the PC and the FRDM-KL25Z board, provides voltages and references to some onboard circuits, and generates the VDDIO reference for the integrated circuit (IC).
