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 KITFS86SKTFRDMEM board.

2.2 Board Description

The KITFS86SKTFRDMEM enables development on FS8600 family of devices. The kit can be connected to the NXP GUI software which allows you to play with registers, try OTP configurations and burn the part.

The devices can be placed and removed easily from the board by using the socket. The device OTP can be burned twice, which provides a good flexibility. This board supports FS86 family of devices.

4.1 Configure the Hardware

Figure 3. Presents a typical hardware configuration incorporating the development board, power supply and Windows PC workstation.

4.2 Hardware Configuration

Table 2. Hardware configuration

Switch Configuration
Normal mode Debug mode entry OTP mode entry
Operation watchdog 2s window watchdog window fully open OTP emulation / programming and Debug mode entry
J7 (DBG) open connect 1 to 2 DBG pin voltage pulled to 4.5 V or 8.0 V (SW3)
SW1 (WAKE1) close (WAKE1 high)
SW2 (VBAT) middle position (VBAT OFF)
SW3 (DBG_OTP) open (DBG = 4.5 V) close (OTP mode ON)

To configure the hardware and workstation as illustrated in Figure 3, complete the following procedure:

  1. Install jumpers and switches for the configuration shown in Table 2
  2. Connect the Windows PC USB port to the KITFS86SKTFRDMEM development board using the provided USB 2.0 cable.
  3. Set the DC power supply to 12 V and current limit to 1.0 A. With power turned off, attach the DC power supply positive and negative output to VBAT Phoenix connector (J6).
  4. Turn on the power supply.
  5. Put SW2 in TOP position.

At this step, if the product is in OTP mode entry configuration, all regulators are off. The user can power up with an OTP configuration or configure the mirror registers before powering up. Power-up starts as soon as one of these four actions occurs:

  • J7 jumper is removed
  • SW3 is switched off
  • OTP mode exit command is sent by I2C
  • NXP GUI button "Exit OTP Mode" is clicked
