Freescale Freedom Development Board FRDM-KW019032 User’s Guide, Rev. 0, 11/2015 2 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. Safety information device or system. This device may not be sold to the general public. Integrators will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. FCC approval of this device only covers the original configuration of this device as supplied. Any modifications to this product, including changes shown in this manual, may violate the rules of the Federal Communications Commission and Industry Canada and make operation of the product unlawful.
2.1.1 Labeling
FCC labels are physically located on the back of the board.
2.1.2 Operating conditions
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference.
- This device must accept any inte rference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
2.1.3 Exposure limits
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s) used for this equipment must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm) from all persons.
2.1.4 Antenna restrictions
An intentional radiator is designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible party is used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator is considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. This requirement does not apply to carrier current devices or to devices operated under the provisions of Sections 15.211, 15.213, 15.217, 15.219, or 15.221 of the IEEE Standard 802.15.4. Further, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators which, in accordance with Section 15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site. However, the installer is responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the limits in this Part are not exceeded.
2.2 Regulatory approval for Canada (IC RSS 210)
This equipment complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This board may not cause interference, and 2. This board must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: 1. l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et 2. l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
2.3 Electrostatic discharge considerations
Although damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD) is much less common on these devices than on early CMOS circuits, normal handling precautions should be used to avoid exposure to static discharge. Qualification tests are performed to ensure that these devices can withstand exposure to reasonable levels of static without suffering any permanent damage. All ESD testing is in conformity with the JESD22 Stress Test Qualification for Commercial Grade Integrated Circuits. During the device qualification ESD stresses were performed for the human body model (HBM), the machine model (MM) and the charge device model (CDM). All latch-up test testing is in conformity with the JESD78 IC Latch-Up Test. When operating or handling the development boards or components, Freescale strongly recommends using at least the grounding wrist straps plus any or all of the following ESD dissipation methods:
- Flexible fabric, solid fixed size, or disposable ESD wrist straps.
- Static control workstations, static control moni tors and table or floor static control systems.
- Static control packaging and transporta tion materials and environmental systems.

4.2.1 RF performance and considerations
MHz North American ISM bands.
- Output power -18 to +17 dBm, depending on output and setting The FRDM-KW019032 uses a flexible RF path topology that make it suitable for working in different frequency bands by replacing a minimum number of components while providing good RF performance. The tables in Section 4.3.1, “Bill of materials” show the different BOM according to different frequency bands of operation. Figure 6 shows the typical topology for the RF circuitry. A footprint is available to install SMA connector J49 for measurement purposes. When using J49, C58 must be installed and C50 must be removed.

4.2.2 Clocks
- 32 MHz Reference Oscillator: Figure 7 shows the external 32 MHz external crystal Y1. This mounted crystal must meet the MKW01Z128 specifications. — Capacitors C22 and C21 provide th e bulk of the crystal load capacitance. At 25 °C it is desired to have the frequency accurate to ±10 ppm or less to allow for temperature variation. — Signal DIO5/CLKOUT can be used to supply an external clock to MCU die and to measure the 32 MHz oscillator frequency. — The FRDM-KW019032 has provision for injecting an external 32 MHz clock source as an alternative to use of the onboard crystal: — The 0 Ohm shunt SH44 must be removed to disconnect Y1 — C20 must be mounted — The external 32 MHz source is connected to the 2-pin header J5
- Optional 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator - Provision is also made for a secondary 32.768 kHz crystal Y4 (see Figure 8). This oscillator can be used as a low power accurate time base. — To disconnect Y4 and use PTC1 as a GPIO port: — The 0 Ohm resistor R96 must be removed — The 0 Ohm resistor R97 must be populated

- The board can be supplied thr ough the mini USB type B connector (J15) which provides 5V_USB to LDO 3V3.
- The board can be supplied thro ugh the development board’s headers which provides either P3.3V or P5-9V_VIN on header J3 pin 16 to LDO 3V3.
- The board can be supplied from an ex ternal DC supply in the following ways: — Connect an adaptor capable of suppling 3.3 VDC to J28 pins, J8 selector 1-2. — Connect an adaptor capable of suppling more than 3.3 VDC (15 V maximum) to J28 pins, J8 selector 2-3. Additionally, J40 and J47 , a 2-pin cut-trace headers, provides current to MCU and transceiver. Red LED marked as LED D4 is available as a power indicator.
