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.
NXP reserves the right to make changes without further notice to any products herein.
NXP makes no warranty, representation or guarantee regarding the suitability of its
products for any particular purpose, nor does NXP assume any liability arising out of the
application or use of any product or circuit, and specifically disclaims any and all liability,
including without limitation consequential or incidental damages. “Typical” parameters
can and do vary in different applications and actual performance may vary over time.
All operating parameters, including “Typical”, must be validated for each customer
application by customer’s technical experts.
NXP does not convey any license under its patent rights nor the rights of others. NXP
products are not designed, intended, or authorized for use as components in systems
intended for surgical implant into the body, or other applications intended to support or
sustain life, or for any other application in which the failure of the NXP product could
create a situation where personal injury or death may occur.
Should the Buyer purchase or use NXP products for any such unintended or
unauthorized application, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold NXP and its officers,

Getting started
3.1 Jump start
NXP’s 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 ICs and system-in-package devices that use
proven high-volume SMARTMOS 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.

3.4 EVM overview
The EVM contains two boards:
• FRDMFS4503CAEVB or FRDMFS6523CAEVB or FRDMFS6522LAEVB:
These
are the evaluation boards available for the FS6500 / FS4500 SBC. The hardware is
described in
Section 4.5 "Getting to know the hardware".
This document refers to these
boards as EVBs.
• FRDM-KL25Z:
This board contains the KL25Z MCU. It is plugged into the EVB by
means of the Arduino
™
connectors on both boards. The FRDM-KL25Z manages
communication between the EVB and a host PC, allowing users to access the EVB's
on-board device features and registers. For more information on the FRDM-KL25Z see
Section 11 "References"

Board description
4.1 Board overview
The FRDMFS4503CAEVB, FRDMFS6523CAEVB and FRDMFS6522LAEVB are
hardware evaluation tools supporting system designs based on NXP’s FS4500 and
FS6500 product families. The EVM allow testing the devices as an integral part of
the overall system being developed. They provide access to all FS45xx and FS65xx
functions (SPI, IOs) and support functional modes such as debug, normal, buck and
boost.
