About this guide
This manual describes the Freescale USB-KW40Z
development platform. The USB-KW40Z
board is a small,
cost-effective evaluation and development board for
application prototypes and demonstration of the
MKW40Z160
SoC family of devices. This evaluation board
offers an easy-to-use mass-storage device mode flash
programmer, a virtual serial port, classic programming, and
run-control capabilities.
The MKW40Z160 SoC is an ultra low-power, highly
integrated single-chip device that enables Bluetooth Low
Energy (BLE) and/or IEEE
®
Std. 802.15.4/RF connectivity
for portable, extremely low-power embedded systems. The
MKW40Z160 SoC family integrates a radio transceiver
operating in the 2.36 GHz to 2.48 GHz range supporting a
range of FSK/GFSK and O-QPSK modulations, and ARM
®
Cortex
®
- M0+ MCU, 160 KB flash memory and 20 KB
SRAM, BLE Link Layer hardware, 802.15.4 packet
processor hardware, and peripherals optimized to meet the
requirements of the target applications.
