FRDM-KL03Z
Overview
The FRDM-KL03Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform for the Kinetis KL03 series, the world's smallest ARM-based microcontroller. Featuring an ARM Cortex-M0+ core running at 48MHz, this board provides 32KB of flash and 2KB of RAM in a breadboard-friendly form factor. It includes the OpenSDA debug interface, allowing for simple programming and debugging without external hardware.
Why Choose This Part
This board features the Bit Manipulation Engine (BME), which reduces code size and improves performance for peripheral bitwise operations. It offers a rich set of peripherals including a 12-bit ADC and 6-bit DAC within a highly efficient 24-pin package footprint. The integration of OpenSDA allows for easy serial communication and flash programming over a single USB connection.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To begin, connect the board via USB to utilize the onboard OpenSDA debugger and power the system. It is fully supported by MCUXpresso IDE, IAR Embedded Workbench, and Keil MDK. Engineers can leverage the Kinetis SDK for pre-written drivers and use the Arduino R3 compatible headers to quickly add sensors or wireless shields.
Also Consider
NXP USA Inc.
- Provides more memory and full-speed USB support for applications requiring more resources than the KL03.
STMicroelectronics
- A competing ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ option with higher flash capacity for more complex firmware.
