Getting Started with the KITFS5600SKTEVM Evaluation
Board
Get Started
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
KITFS5600SKTEVM evaluation board.

2.1 Board Features
VBAT power supply connectors
SW1 output capability up to 100 mA (internal MOSFET) - load current limited due
to socket
SW2 output capability up to 100 mA (external MOSFET) - load current limited due
to socket
EN1/2 switches
PGOOD1/2 status indicators

2.2 Board Description
The KITFS5600SKTEVM is a hardware evaluation tool that allows performance test and
OTP programming of the FS5600.
An Emulation mode is possible to test different OTP configurations as needed. Different
inductors and MOSFETs are included in the kit to allow the user to try different switching
frequencies.

1. Press the RST push button on the Freedom board and connect the USB cable into
the SDA port ( J5 ) on the Freedom board.
2. If a new “BOOTLOADER” device appears on the left pane of the File explorer:
1. Drag and drop the downloaded file
“0244_k20dx_bootloader_update_0x8000.bin” into the BOOTLOADER
drive. Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved in the
Bootloader.
2. b. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the SDA port (this time
WITHOUT pressing the RST push button).
3. c. Drag and drop the file “k20dx_frdmk82f_if_crc_legacy_0x8000.bin” from
the package (MCU folder) into the MAINTENANCE drive.
Note: Make sure to allow enough time for the firmware to be saved in the
Bootloader. The device should change to FRDM_K82FD.
