FRDM-MCXE247
Overview
The FRDM-MCXE247 is a development board featuring the MCX E247 Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller, operating up to 112 MHz with 2 MB of Flash and 256 KB of RAM. Designed for industrial applications, it includes specialized safety and supervision features like ECC on flash/SRAM and program flow monitoring. The board provides integrated Ethernet and CAN FD connectivity for robust networked systems.
Why Choose This Part
This platform stands out by supporting 5V VDD and 5V-tolerant I/O, simplifying integration with legacy industrial sensors and high-voltage logic. The inclusion of ECC on both Flash and SRAM ensures high reliability by detecting and correcting memory errors in harsh electrical environments. Additionally, the high pin-count 144-pin LQFP package provides ample GPIO for complex system designs.
Applications
Getting Started
Start development using the MCUXpresso SDK and IDE, which provide comprehensive drivers and middleware for the MCX E series. The board features an onboard MCU-Link debugger, allowing for immediate firmware flashing and debugging via USB without external hardware. Engineers can utilize the FRDM header pins to quickly prototype using standard shields and daughter cards.
