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 KITPF5302FRDMEVM board.
1.1 Kit Content and Packing List
The KITPF5302FRDMEVM kit contents include:
- Assembled and tested evaluation board and preprogrammed FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller
- 3.0 ft USB-STD A to USB-B-mini cable
- Jumpers mounted on board
1.2 Software
The KITPF5302FRDMEVM is always delivered with the GUI firmware already flashed.
If MCU firmware is already flashed, you can ignore this section. If it is specified that you need to update the firmware or if the firmware is malfunctioning, follow the instructions in the UM11890.

J10 | PWRON | 1-2: PWRON = GND (Default) |
2-3: PWRON = VDDIO | ||
J11 | Load transient enable | Short: connects SW1 output to load transient circuit |
J14 | Load transient pulse | Pin 1: ground |
Pin 2: apply pulse from function generator to generate transient load | ||
J7 | Load slammer connector | Connect load slammer tool, if available for transient generation |
J4 | Output voltage | Output voltage |
J16 | Vout sense | SMB connector for accurate sense of output voltage |
3. Configure Hardware
3.1 Configure the Hardware
Once the user has installed the NXP GUI, follow these instructions to quickly power up the board.
Powering up the board with pre-programmed OTP configuration
- Make sure that the board has the right jumper configuration
- Ensure that
SW4
is in the NORMAL position - Verify that the FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller is plugged in, and the USB cable on the FRDM-KL25Z microcontroller connector side is attached. It is important that the USB cable is connected to a PC because the cable enables communication with the NXP GUI and provides the VDDIO reference for the IC
- Apply VIN and PVIN with PWRON = 0
- Move
J10
from 1-2 to 2-3 to turn on the PF53 - Open the GUI and communicate as required.
Powering up the board in Debug mode
Debug mode allows the user to modify OTP mirror registers before powering up. This facilitates exercising different features of the PF5300 while deciding on the best configuration for a given application.
- Remove VIN and PVIN
- Open
J10
- Move
SW4
to the DEBUG position - Open
J10
- Apply 8.0 V to TP9, which is identified with the silkscreen "8 V"
- Apply VIN and PVIN. Now the device powers up internally to the LP_OFF state
- Open the NXP GUI, and select Test mode in the top left drop-down box
