2.2 Board Description

The KITFS27SKTEVM provides the flexibility needed to play with all the features of the device and to take measurements in the main sections of the application. The FRDM-KL25Z board connected to the kit, combined with the FS27 NXP GUI for Automotive PMIC Families software, allows full configuration and control of the FS27 SBC. The LQFP48 socket on the board allows different samples to be tested or programmed.

An FS27 device must be inserted in the socket to enable OTP programming, emulation or evaluation. The performance on this board is limited; for further evaluation, another board must be required - check options on FS2700.

3.3 LQFP48 Open Top Socket

This KIT is equipped with an LQFP48 open socket. This socket enables FS27 family OTP emulation and OTP programming on several samples with easy insertion or replacement. The socket part number is NP584-048-113 Yamaichi (maximum current per pin 1 A).

To insert or change a device, the user must push the top of the socket and keep it pressed, then carefully insert the IC with pins correctly aligned. Pin 1 is on the top left of the socket.
