2Important notice
NXP provides the enclosed product(s) under the following conditions:
This evaluation kit is intended for use of ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT OR
EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. It is provided as a sample IC pre-soldered to a
printed circuit board to make it easier to access inputs, outputs, and supply terminals.
This evaluation board may be used with any development system or other source of
I/O signals by simply connecting it to the host MCU or computer board via off-theshelf cables. This evaluation board is not a Reference Design and is not intended to
represent a final design recommendation for any particular application. Final device in
an application will be heavily dependent on proper printed circuit board layout and heat
sinking design as well as attention to supply filtering, transient suppression, and I/O
signal quality.
The goods provided may not be complete in terms of required design, marketing, and
or manufacturing related protective considerations, including product safety measures
typically found in the end product incorporating the goods. Due to the open construction
of the product, it is the user’s responsibility to take any and all appropriate precautions
with regard to electrostatic discharge. In order to minimize risks associated with the
customers applications, adequate design and operating safeguards must be provided
by the customer to minimize inherent or procedural hazards. For any safety concerns,
contact NXP sales and technical support services.

3Getting started
The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for
evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and
power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package
devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a
smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost and improved performance in
powering state-of-the-art systems.

4Getting to know the hardware
4.1 Board overview
The FRDM33664BEVB is a hardware tool for evaluation and development and is ideal
for rapid prototyping of an Isolated Network High Speed Transceiver. It can be used
to evaluate the features of the MC33664ATL1EG device. The EVB allows the user to
connect SPI signals from the MCU to the device SPI_TX and be able to create bit pulses
transmission to the bus through the transformer. The messages received by the device
can be converted bit by bit and transferred to the MCU by SPI.
4.2 Board features
The board features are as follows:
• MC33664ATL1EG Isolated Communication Transceiver in a 16-pin SOICN package
• SPI interface
• LED indicators
• Fault detection report
• Isolated Communication by transformers with connector
