1. Get Started
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 FRDMDUAL33664EVB board.

2. Get to Know the Hardware
2.1 Board Features
- Two MC33664ATL1EG isolated communication transceiver in a 16-pin SOICN package
- Isolated communication by transformers with connector
- Single TPL chain interface (requires two SPIs)
- Dual TPL chain interface (requires three SPIs)
- Compatible to S32K144EVB-Q100
2.2 Board Description
The FRDMDUAL33664EVB is a hardware tool for evaluation and development and is ideal for rapid prototyping of an isolated network high-speed transceiver. It can be used to evaluate the features of the MC33664A device.
The evaluation board allows the user to connect SPI signals from the MCU to the device SPI_TX and be able to create bit pulses transmission to the bus through the transformer. The messages received by the device can be converted bit by bit and transferred to the MCU by SPI.

2.4 Additional Board Support
Refer to UM11334, FRDMDUAL33664EVB evaluation board for additional details on the featured components.
3. Configure the Hardware
The FRDMDUAL33664EVB is configured as a shield board for the S32K144EVB-Q100 board. It can also be used in a standalone configuration. For other configurations, check mechanical/electrical fit or use, for example, a breadboard design.
3.1 S32K144EVB-Q100 Board Configuration
The FRDMDUAL33664EVB is configured for the S32K144EVB-Q100 board by default. Ensure that the S32K144EVB is configured correctly before connecting both boards together.
3.2 Standalone or Other Microcontroller Platforms
When the board is used in standalone or with other microcontroller platforms, the SPI signals must be manually connected to the MCU interface connectors K1 to K6.
3.3 Additional Board Support
Refer to UM11334, FRDMDUAL33664EVB evaluation board user manual for additional details on the hardware configuration.
