Freedom Development Platform for Kinetis KL27 and KL17 Cortex-M0 plus MCUs
Manufactured By:NXP
Part Number:FRDM-KL27Z
The new Kinetis KL27/17 Cortex-M0 Freedom Platform with USB features Flex IO, ROM Bootloader and low power crystal-less USB functionality. The Energy efficient 48MHz ARM Cortex-M0 core, multiple low power modes & autonomous low power peripherals including USB ‘Keep Alive’ Mode make this ideal for low power or battery operated applications. Tool support includes free Kinetis Design Studio IDE, Software Development Kit and Processor Expert. The main silicon is available in an ultra-small 36XFBGA (3.5x3.5x0.5mm) package as well.
Applications:
- Battery-Operated applications
- Consumer applications
- Low-power applications
- USB peripherals
Features
Kinetis L series Expansion
- USB ‘Keep Alive’ maintains USB operation in very low power stop mode avoiding need for re-enumeration
- 16KB ROM bootloader enables flash programming via UART, SPI, IIC or USB for s/ware upgrades during development, production or in the field
- Flex I/O module emulates UART, I2C, SPI, I2S and PWM waveform generation reducing peripheral count. IIC supports 1Mbit/s data rate
- Reduced BOM cost and PCB space from 48MHz oscillator for crystal-less USB operation with integrated USB voltage regulator, and high accuracy voltage reference for ADC, DAC, ACMP and external sensors
Energy Efficiency
- ARM Cortex-M0 core delivers 2-8 x more CoreMark/mA vs. legacy 8- and 16-bit architectures
- Multiple low power RUN, WAIT & STOP modes for different application use cases, power and clock gating, 32 byte register for critical data retention
- Low power peripherals function independently without core wake-up – DMA, UART, Timers, ADC, Segment LCD and Flex I/O

FAQs
Does this board has Arduino compatible interface?
Yes, Form factor compatible with Arduino™ R3 pin layout
What kind of software Debugging supported?
it supports P&E Multilink interface that provides run-control debugging and compatibility with IDE tools and SEGGER OpenSDA firmware makes OpenSDA compatible to J-Link.
Does this board supports onboard Debugging interface?
Yes this board supports on board debugging feature called as CMSIS-DAP interface driver.
Does this board has RS-232 communication?
This board supports OPENSDA MSD driver and P&E Debug application driver which provides serial communication (act as virtual serial port)
Do I need a external programmer to flash the binaries?
Not necessarily required since this board has OPENSDA interface through which it can be programmed directly with out using external programmer.
