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.

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

5Configuring the hardware
The FRDM33664BEVB can be configured as a shield board connected to selected
Freedom boards or it can be used in a stand-alone configuration (without a Freedom
board).
5.1 Freedom board configuration
The layout of the connectors allow MCU development boards mentioned in Section 4.7
to be mounted directly to the FRDM33664BEVB. See Figure 5. When both boards
are connected together, the SPI connector is directly connected with the MCU SPI
pins. The routing of SPI signals through the Arduino™ connectors depends on the
specific Freedom board being used. In this configuration, power is supplied to the
FRDM33664BEVB through a USB cable connected between the Freedom board and a
PC. No external power supply is required.
