Power supply
There are multiple power supply options on the FRDM-KV11Z. It can be powered from either of the
USB connectors, the VIN pin on the J3 header, the DC Jack (not populated), or an off-board 1.71 V–3.6
V supply from the 3.3 V pin on the J14 header. The USB OpenSDA and the DC jack are regulated
onboard using a 3.3 V DC-to-DC linear regulator to produce the main power supply. The voltage of the
J14 and J3 header inputs are not regulated and will provide direct power-supply to the KV11Z
microcontroller.
When attached to either the FRDM-MC-LVBLDC or the FRDM-MC-LVPMSM 3.3 V voltage is
supplied from the motor control power board through the J3 header. The table below provides the
operational details and requirements for the power supplies.

Debug interface
There are two debug interface options provided: the on-board OpenSDA circuit and an external ARM
Cortex JTAG connector. The ARM Cortex SWD connector (J19) is a standard 2x10-pin connector that
provides an external debugger cable access to the SWD interface of the KV311Z128VLH7P.
Alternatively, the on-board OpenSDA debug interface can be used to access the debug interface of the
KV311Z128VLH7P.
OpenSDA
An on-board K20DX128VFM5- based OpenSDA circuit provides a SWD debug interface to the
KV311Z128VLH7P. A standard USB-A male to micro-B male cable (provided) can be used for
debugging via the USB connector (CN1).
The OpenSDA interface also provides a USB to serial bridge. Drivers for the OpenSDA interface are
provided in the IDE you use. Updated Windows drivers and more utilities can be found online at
http://www.pemicro.com/opensda.
Cortex debug connector
The Cortex Debug connector is a 20-pin (0.05") connector providing access to the SWD signals

FRDM-KV11Z Evaluation Board Users Guide
NXP Semiconductors 11
Figure 10. FRDM-KV11Z MCU clock source
To generate the max system frequency of the MCU, initialize the external clock source the OSC module,
divide the input clock for the FLL in the MCG module and then multiply the FLL clock up to the 75
MHz clock frequency.
All of these settings and configurations can be managed with the MCUXpresso Clocks tool available on
http://www.nxp.com/mcuxpresso.
6. Accelerometer and magnetometer
An FXOS8700CQ, 6-axis accelerometer and magnetometer sensor is interfaced through an I2C bus and

Thermistor

Figure 11. Accelerometer and magnetometer schematic
7. Thermistor
There is a thermistor circuit on the FRDM board. There is a thermistor RT1 provided on the board that
can be used as single-ended or differential analog inputs to the KV10Z MCU.
In addition to the thermistor, there is a resistor between the thermistor and 3.3 V system power supply
and another resistor between the thermistor and ground. The thermistor is a 10 K ohm part, but the
associated divider chain uses different resistors. This makes the voltage across the thermistor larger or
smaller, and provides the ability to try the different gain settings on the analog channels. The thermistor
circuit is designed to provide useable differential inputs over the temperature range of 90˚ C to -20˚ C.
In addition to the thermistor voltage divider chain, the thermistor has a 0.1 uF capacitor in parallel.
Each analog input to the KV10Z has a 100-ohm series resistor and a 2200 pF capacitor as a low-pass
filter. This helps protect the KV10Z from electrostatic discharge, and lowers the impedance of the
analog signal so that it can be sampled with less noise.

The CAN interface signals are PTE24/CAN0_TX and PTE25/CAN0_RX. They are connected to an on-
board transceiver for buffering on to header J9(not populated).
Figure 14. CAN interface circuit
10. Reset
The RESET signal is low active on all Kinetis MCUs. The KV11Z Reset signal is connected to the
debug K20 MCU and a button SW1. If the J10 jumper is between 1-2 the KV11 Reset is driven by the
output of the level translator. This is needed if the debug MCU and the target KV11 MCU are at
different VDD levels, such as when an external 1.8 V DC VDD is provided to the KV11 MCU.

Push button switches

Figure 15. Reset Circuit
11. Push button switches
Two general purpose push buttons, SW2 and SW3, are available on the FRDM-KV11Z board. SW2 is
connected to PTA4/NMI and SW3 is connected to PTB0. SW2 is connected by default to the NMI –
Non-Maskable-Interrupt input. Care should be taken to select the function of the MCU input. If left at
default the MCU will hold in the NMI interrupt function if the NMI input is low or logic 0.
Besides the general purposed input/output functions both switches can be used as low-power wake up
trigger inputs.

12. Input/output connectors
The MKV11Z128VLF7 microcontroller is packaged in a 48-pin LQFP. Some pins are utilized in
onboard circuitry, but some are directly connected to one of the four I/O headers.
The pins on the KV11Z microcontroller are named for their general purpose input/output port pin
function. For example, the first pin on Port A is referred as PTA1. The name assigned to the I/O
connector pin is same as of the KV10Z pin connected to it, if applicable.
