FRDM-K22F Hardware Description

3.1 Power supply
There are multiple power supply options on the FRDM-K22F board. It can be powered from either of the USB connectors, the VIN pin on the I/O header, DC jack (optional; not populated), or an off board 1.71–3.6 V supply from the 3.3 V pin on the I/O header. The USB, DC jack, and VIN supplies are regulated onboard using a 3.3 V linear regulator to produce the main power supply. A direct voltage supply to the K22F MCU is also available via J15. Table 1 provides the operational details and requirements for the power supplies.
Table 1. FRDM-K22F power requirements

Supply Source| Valid Range| OpenSDAv2 Operational?| Regulated Onboard?
---|---|---|---
OpenSDAvs USB| 5 V| Yes| Yes
K22F USB| 5 V| No| Yes
P5-9V_VIN pin| 5 V–9 V| No| Yes
3.3 V header (J15)| 1.71 V–3.6 V| No| No
DC jack (not populated)| 5 V–9 V| No| Yes

NOTE
The OpenSDAv2 circuit is only operational when a USB cable is connected and supplies power to the OpenSDAv2 USB. However, protection circuitry is in place to enable multiple sources to be powered at once. NXP FRDM-K22FN512 Freedom
Board for Kinetis K22F Hardware - Power supply schematic Table 2. FRDM-K22F power supplies

Power Supply Name Description
P5-9V VIN Power supply from the VIN pin of the I/O headers (J25 pin 16). A

Schottky diode provides back-drive protection.
DC JACK| Power supplied from the DC Jack (J23; not populated). A Schottky diode provides back-drive protection.
P3V3 VREG| Regulated 3.3 V supply. Sources power to the P3V3 supply rail through a back-drive protection Schottky diodel.
P3V3 K22F| K22F MCU voltage supply. Header J15 provides a convenient means for energy consumption measurements2.
P3V3 SDA| OpenSDAv2 circuit voltage supply.
P5V USB| Nominal 5 V supplied to the I/O headers (J25 pin10).

  1. By default, the linear regulator (U16) is a 3.3 V output regulator. This is a common footprint that enables the user to modify the assembly to use an alternative device, such as a 1.8 V output regulator. The K22F microcontroller has an operating range of 1.71 V to 3.6 V.
  2. The P3V3_K22F rail is connected with two resistors, R62 and R63. To measure the energy consumption of the K22F MCU, the trace between J15 pins 1 and 2 must be first cut. A current probe or shunt resistor and voltage meter can then be applied to measure the energy consumption on these rails.

3.2 Serial and Debug Adapter version 2 (OpenSDAv2)
OpenSDAv2 is a serial and debug adapter circuit which includes an open-source hardware design, an open-source bootloader, and debug interface software. It bridges serial and debug communications between a USB host and an embedded target processor as shown in Figure 4. The hardware circuit is based on a Freescale Kinetics K20 family microcontroller (MCU) with 128 KB of embedded flash and an integrated USB controller. OpenSDAv2 comes preloaded with the CMSIS-DAP bootloader—an open-source mass storage device (MSD) bootloader, and the CMSIS-DAP interface firmware (a.k.a. med interface), which provides an MSD flash programming interface, a virtual serial port interface, and a CMSIS-DAP debug protocol interface. For more information on the OpenSDAv2 software, see mbed.org and https://github.com/mbedmicro/CMSIS-DAP.

NXP FRDM-K22FN512 Freedom Board for Kinetis K22F Hardware - Power supply
schematicOpenSDAv2 is managed by a Kinetis K20 MCU built on the ARM Cortex-M4 core. The OpenSDAv2 circuit includes a status LED (D1) and a push button (SW1). The push button asserts the Reset signal to the K22F target MCU. It can also be used to place the OpenSDAv2 circuit into bootloader mode. SPI and GPIO signals provide an interface to either the SWD debug port or the K20. Additionally, signal connections are available to implement a UART serial channel. The OpenSDAv2 circuit receives power when the USB connector J5 is plugged into a USB host.
3.2.1 Debug interface
Signals with SPI and GPIO capability are used to connect directly to the SWD of the K22F. These signals are also brought out to a standard 10-pin (0.05”) Cortex debug connector (J11). It is possible to isolate the K22F MCU from the OpenSDAv2 circuit and use J11 to connect to an off-board MCU. To accomplish this, cut the trace on the bottom side of the PCB that connects J7 pin 2 to J11 pin 4. This will disconnect the SWD_CLK pin to the K22F so that it will not interfere with communication to an off-board MCU connected to J7.NXP
FRDM-K22FN512 Freedom Board for Kinetis K22F Hardware - SWD debug
connectorThe J11 header is populated by default. A mating cable, such as a Samtec FFSD IDC cable, can then be used to connect from the OpenSDAv2 of the FRDM-K22F to an off-board SWD connector.
3.2.2 Virtual serial port
A serial port connection is available between the OpenSDAv2 MCU and pins PTE0 and PTE1 of the K22F.

The debug interface on the MK22FN512VDC12 MCU is a serial wire debug (SWD) port with trace output capability. There are two debug interfaces on the FRDM- K22F: an onboard OpenSDAv2 circuit (J5) and a K22F direct SWD connection via a 10-pin header (J11). To use an external debugger, such as J-Link on J11, you may need to disconnect the OpenSDAv2 SWD circuit from the K22F by removing jumpers J13 and J10.
Add-On Modules
14.1 RF module
An optional header (J6) on the FRDM-K22F supports communication with a 2.4 GHz nRF24L01+ Nordic radio module over SPI. Alternatively, any SPI-based device or module can be used with this header.NXP FRDM-K22FN512 Freedom Board for

Input/output Connectors

The MK22FN512VLH12 microcontroller is packaged in a 64-pin LQFP. Some pins are used in onboard circuitry, but some are directly connected to one of the four I/O headers (J1, J2, J24, and J25).
The pins on the K22F microcontroller are named for their general purpose input/output (GPIO) port pin function. For example, the first pin on Port A is referred as PTA1. The name assigned to the I/O connector pin corresponds to the GPIO pin of the K22F.
