NXP Semiconductors FRDM-MCXN236 Development Board for MCX N23x MCUs

NXP Semiconductors FRDM-MCXN236 Development Board provides a low-cost design based on the MCX N236 MCUs. The NXP FRDM-MCXN236 board integrates a 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M33 microcontroller for industrial and consumer IoT applications.

The NXP FRDM-MCXN236 board combines one MCXN236 with a 64Mbit external serial flash supplied by Winbond. The board offers a high-speed USB circuit, one FXLS8974CFR3 accelerometer sensor, TJA1057GTK/3Z CAN PHY, DA7212 Audio codec (DNP), DMIC sensor SPK0641HT4H-1, RGB LED, push buttons, and MCU-Link debug probe circuit. The board is compatible with Arduino shield modules and mikroBUS headers. Additionally, the board supports headers compatible with a camera module and NXP low-cost LCD module (PAR-LCD-S035).
