4.3 Board description
The Freedom KL25Z is microcontroller hardware for interfacing PC with SPIGen software
to the SPI programmable registers on the MC33GD3100 devices on the GD3100 half-
bridge evaluation board. GD3100 translator board is used to translate 3.3 V signals to
5.0 V signals between MCU hardware and MC33GD3100 gate drivers on the half-bridge
evaluation board.
