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 in powering state-of-the-art systems.

This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the KITPF09FRDMPGM board.

2 Get to Know the Hardware

The KITPF09FRDMPGM kit provides a platform for supporting designs based on the PF09 Family of NXP, not for evaluation. All PF09 Family features can be configured and programmed using NXP GUI software by accessing the registers in Read and Write mode. Output voltages, digital signals (I²C, RSTB, etc.) are accessible through hook connectors.

2.1 Board Features

Header connectors for I/O configuration
Selectable power input for programming
Access pin connectors for accessing inputs and outputs
Indicator LEDs green to indicate PGOOD, PWRON and VIN
RED LED to indicate that the OTP 8 V burning voltage is set and BLUE LED to indicate that the OTP 5 V voltage is set
Advanced system monitoring via the KL25Z MCU
Embedded USB to I²C protocol for easy connection to the software GUI through the KL25Z MCU

2.2 Board Description

The hardware of the kit consists of the KITPF09FRDMPGM program board embedded with a KL25Z microcontroller, and the USB cable required to connect the board to the PC.

The KITPF09FRDMPGM program board features a socket that allows the user to fuse an individual PF09 Family using the device’s two time programmable (OTP) feature without extra tools. The board also contains LEDs and test points that provide a means of limited monitoring performance in real time. An emulation mode allows the user to test as many configurations as needed before programming the part.

The KL25Z is connected on the bottom side of the KITPF09FRDMPGM programming board. The role of the KL25Z is to manage I²C communication between the KITPF09FRDMPGM program board and the GUI installed on the PC. The KL25Z draws power either from the USB cable connected to the PC or from the battery supply (when not connected to the GUI).

3.1 Configure the Hardware

The procedure for setting up the KITPF09FRDMPGM program board is as follows:

Make sure that the board has the jumpers configured in their default positions. The default debug configuration enables the board to be fully controlled by the KL25Z MCU (via I²C) and the GUI. Section 3 shows the default jumpers configuration for the PF09 Family.
Connect the power supply to VIN (hook connector). The power supply should be set to a nominal value of 5 V.
Make sure the USB cable between the board and the PC is securely connected. This connection is critical because the USB port serves as a communication channel between the PC and the KL25Z MCU onboard, and also provides voltages and references to some onboard circuits.

This section describes the KITPF09FRDMPGM program board by explaining the features associated with each jumper and switch, giving information on hardware configuration to enable these features, and providing advice on LED signaling and test points available on the board.

The default debug configuration enables the board to be fully controlled by the KL25Z MCU (via I²C) and the GUI. Figure 2 shows the jumper location for PF09. See below for PF09 default jumpers configuration.
