お客様の XS2410 Freedom Evaluation Board

このドキュメントの内容

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 FRDM- XS2410EVB evaluation board.

1.1 Kit Contents/Packing List

The FRDM-XS2410EVB contents include:

  • Assembled and tested FRDM-XS2410EVB board in an anti-static bag
  • Power connector 2x1 for power supply
  • Power connector 5x1 for outputs and ground
  • Jumpers mounted on board
  • Quick start guide

1.2 Additional Hardware

In addition to the kit contents, the following hardware is necessary or beneficial when working with this kit.

  • Power supply with a range of 0 V to 60 V and a DC current capability up to 10 A

1.3 Windows PC Workstation

This evaluation board requires a Windows PC workstation. Meeting these minimum specifications should produce great results when working with this kit.

  • USB-enabled computer with Windows 7 or Windows 10

2.1 Board Features

  • VBAT power supply connectors 0 V to 60 V (Jack and Phoenix)
  • Four high-side outputs 100 mΩ up to 2.5 A per channel at room temperature
  • 5.0 V supply regulator for VDD pin
  • Manual switches for direct input control in safe mode
  • Limp button to force safe mode externally
  • LEDs to witness output state, VDD supply or warning and fault in FAULTB IRQ pin
  • Four headers to connect on compatible hardware (FRDM-KL25Z, S32K144 or Arduino R3)
  • Jumpers to enable LEDs, freewheeling diodes when driving inductive load, VDD connection or MCU supply

2.2 Board Description

The main purpose of this kit is to program the board and evaluate all the different features of the MC33XS2410 along with a power supply and real loads.

The FRDM-XS2410EVB provides flexibility to interact with all the features of the device and perform measurements on the main part of the application. With compatible pinouts, the FRDM-XS2410EVB can be interfaced to either FRDM-KL25Z MCU or S32K144EVB Freedom boards.

With the FlexGUI software loaded, the evaluation board allows access to the registers in read and write mode, device configuration and monitoring key diagnostics parameters. Power outputs are accessible through connectors, and some of the signal can also be probed using test points. Some LEDs witness the state of the outputs, such as VDD supply or warning/IRQ faults on FAULTB pin.

3.1 Configure the Hardware

To configure the hardware, complete the following procedure:

  1. Connect the FRDM-XS2410EVB to MCU (FRDM-KL25Z or S32K144EVB)
  2. Set the DC power supply to either J3 or J5
  3. Connect the Windows PC USB port to the selected MCU using the provided USB cable
  4. Set the DC power supply between 3.0 V and 60 V and turn it ON
  5. Connect loads to J4 connector
  6. Loads can be turned ON using SW2 DIP switches pressing SW1

This board can be used either with FlexGUI software for evaluation or with software drivers for development.

  • For FlexGUI software usage, refer to the dedicated user guide for FRDM-XS2410EVB at UM11301
  • For XS2410 related software drivers, software examples and documentation, refer to UM11182

4.1 Prepare Graphical User Interface Operating Environment

All installation details and software flashing on MCU are described UM11301, the dedicated FlexGUI user manual for FRDM-XS2410EVB.

4.2 Start the FlexGUI Application

After the FlexGUI application is started with flexgui-app-des-q100, the FlexGUI launcher displays the supported MCU and communication protocols. After the boards are selected, the GUI starts.

4.3 FlexGUI Workspace and Features

At first launch, the FlexGUI starts in user mode.

The bottom left area of the GUI shows three tabs:

  • Q100: The user can decide to switch to Watchdog Off mode using the Switch mode drop-down list followed by clicking Apply. The SPI frequency may also be changed
  • Pins: The Pins tab allows direct control of the various device inputs (IN and LHM) and reading the device output (FAULT_B)
  • CHx status: The CHx tab allows reading or polling the different warnings and faults from the four channels

Start embedded application development.
