1. Out of the Box

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 FRDM665CANFDEVB board.

1.1 Kit Contents and Packing List

The FRDM665CANFDEVB contents include:

  • MC33665A CAN FD EVB, CAN or CAN FD to four transformer physical layer (TPL) interface EVB
  • One TPL daisy chain cable; two-wire twisted pair daisy chain interface cable
  • Power cable
  • Quick Start Guide

1.2 Additional Hardware

In addition to the kit contents, the following hardware is necessary or beneficial when working with this board.

  • External dual power supply 10 V to 18 V/2 A (optional)
  • EVBs of battery cell controller (BCC) devices from NXP

2. Get to Know the Hardware

2.1 Board Features

  • CAN or CAN FD
  • Onboard analog termination for daisy chain communication to BCC devices
  • Configurable VIO voltage
  • Configurable VDD5V from internal and external supply
  • DIP switch for configuring the arbitration baud rate and CAN ID of MC33665A
  • Reset switch for the device and board
  • LED display for the status of power

2.2 Board Description

The FRDM665CANFDEVB serves as a hardware evaluation tool in support of the MC33665A device of NXP. The MC33665A is a gateway router that can route TPL messages from the microcontroller (MCU) to four different TPL ports. It is designed for use in both automotive and industrial applications. The device can route both TPL2 and TPL3 messages. The FRDM665CANFDEVB is an ideal board for rapid prototyping of MC33665A for CAN or CAN FD interfaces to an MCU.

3. Configure Hardware

FRDM665CANFDEVB can be configured as a stacked board to S32K344EVB.

3.1 CAN or CAN FD Interface

FRDM665CANFDEVB can be connected to a PC, laptop or other. ECUs with power and CAN cables or connectors. 12 V supply line can be used to power the FRDM665CANFDEVB. Female sub-D9 connector can be interfaced to relevant CAN tool or ECU. SW2 can be used to configure the CAN ID for MC33665A, CFG pins can also be configured to set the arbitration speed for MC33665A. Press SW1 button (RST switch) after changing any settings on SW2 (ID and CFG). Ensure the settings on J8 for VDD5V and J13 for VIO selection are appropriate for the power supplied to the board. CANEVB interface J10 can be used for direct interface with S32K344EVB for CAN or CAN FD.
