NXP Semiconductors FRDM-KW36 Freedom Development Kit
NXP Semiconductors FRDM-KW36 Freedom Development Kit is a highly configurable, low-power, and cost-effective evaluation board for application prototyping and demonstrating the Kinetis® KW36/35 devices. This NXP evaluation board offers an easy-to-use mass-storage device mode flash programmer, a virtual serial port, and standard programming and run-control capabilities.
The KW36 is an ultra-low-power, highly integrated single-chip device that enables BLUETOOTH® Low Energy (BLE) or Generic FSK (at 250kbps, 500kbps, and 1000kbps) for portable, low-power embedded systems. The KW36 integrates a radio transceiver operating in the 2.36GHz to 2.48GHz range supporting a range of GFSK, an Arm Cortex-M0+ CPU, up to 512 KB Flash, and up to 64 KB SRAM, BLUETOOTH LE Link Layer hardware, and peripherals optimized to meet the requirements of the target applications.
The FRDM-KW36 Freedom Development Kit can be used as a development board, or as a shield to connect to a host processor. The FRDM-KW36 integrates a highly sensitive, optimized 2.4GHz radio with a PCB F-antenna which can be bypassed to test via SMA connection, CAN and LIN transceivers, 4-Mbit external serial flash, multiple power supply options, push/capacitive touch buttons, switches, LEDs and integrated sensors.
