User's Guide
1 Introduction
This guide describes the hardware for the FRDM-KW40Z
Freescale Freedom development board. The FRDM-KW40Z
Freedom development board is a small, low-power,
and cost-effective evaluation and development board for
application prototyping and demonstration of the MKW40Z
SoC family of devices. These evaluation boards offer
easy-to-use mass-storage-device mode flash programmer,
a virtual serial port, and standard programming and
run-control capabilities.
The MKW40Z SoC is an ultra-low-power, highly integrated
single-chip device that enables Bluetooth Low Energy
(BLE) and/or IEEE^® Std. 802.15.4/RF connectivity for
portable, ultra-low-power embedded systems.
The MKW40Z SoC family integrates a radio transceiver
operating in the 2.36 GHz to 2.48 GHz range (supporting a
range of FSK/GFSK and O-QPSK modulations), ARM^®
Cortex^®-M0+ CPU, 160 KB flash memory and 20 KB
SRAM, BLE Link Layer hardware, 802.15.4 packet
processor hardware, and peripherals optimized to meet the
requirements of the target applications.
