Important notice
NXP provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:
This evaluation kit is intended for use of ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY.
It is provided as a sample IC pre-soldered to a printed circuit board to make it easier to access inputs, outputs, and
supply terminals. This evaluation board may be used with any development system or other source of I/O signals
by simply connecting it to the host MCU or computer board via off-the-shelf cables. This evaluation board is not a
Reference Design and is not intended to represent a final design recommendation for any particular application.
Final device in an application will be heavily dependent on proper printed circuit board layout and heat sinking
design as well as attention to supply filtering, transient suppression, and I/O signal quality.
The goods provided may not be complete in terms of required design, marketing, and or manufacturing related
protective considerations, including product safety measures typically found in the end product incorporating the
goods. Due to the open construction of the product, it is the user's responsibility to take any and all appropriate
precautions with regard to electrostatic discharge. In order to minimize risks associated with the customers
applications, adequate design and operating safeguards must be provided by the customer to minimize inherent or
procedural hazards. For any safety concerns, contact NXP sales and technical support services.
Should this evaluation kit not meet the specifications indicated in the kit, it may be returned within 30 days from the
date of delivery and will be replaced by a new kit.

Understanding the tower system modular development
board platform
NXP’s Tower System peripheral module is designed to be combined and used with other Tower System modules. The Tower System is a
modular development platform for 8-, 16-, and 32-bit MCUs and MPUs enabling advanced development through rapid prototyping.
Featuring more than fifty development boards or modules, the Tower System provides designers with building blocks for entry-level to
advanced MCU development.
