Tower Mechanical Drawing 6 Hardware description The TWR-KL25Z is a Tower MCU Module featuring the MKL25Z128VLK4 —a Kinetis microcontroller with USB 2.0 full-speed OTG controllers in a 80 LQFP package. It is intended for use in the Freescale Tower System but can operate stand-alone.
Microcontroller The TWR-KL25Z features the MKL25Z128VLK4. This 50 MHz microcontroller is part of the Kinetis L series and is available in an 80 LQFP package. The following table notes the features of MKL25Z128VLK4. Table 1 Features of MKL25Z128VLK4 Feature Description...
(EXTAL0/XTAL0) if desired. The external oscillator/resonator can range from 32.768 KHz up to a 32 MHz. An 8 MHz crystal is the default external source for the MCG oscillator inputs (XTAL/EXTAL). A 32.768 KHz crystal is connected to the RTC oscillator inputs by default. TWRKL25ZUM TWR-KL25Z Page 8 of 17...
6.4 System Power When installed into a Tower System, the TWR-KL25Z can be powered from either an on-board source or from another source in the assembled Tower System. In stand-alone operation, the main power source (5.0V ) for the TWR-KL25Z module is derived from either the openSDA USB mini-B connector or the MKL25Z128VLK4 USB micro-AB connector (J31).
6.9 General Purpose Tower Plug-in (TWRPI) Socket The TWR-KL25Z features a socket (J4 and J5) that can accept a variety of different Tower Plug-in modules featuring sensors, RF transceivers, and more. The General Purpose TWRPI socket provides access to I2C, SPI, IRQs, GPIOs, timers, analog conversion signals, TWRPI ID signals, reset, and voltage supplies.
Each TSI pin implements the capacitive measurement of an electrode. The TWR-KL25Z provides two methods for evaluating the TSI module. There are two electrodes on-board. Additionally, 12 TSI signals are connected to a Touch Tower Plug-in (TWRPI) socket (J2) that can accept Touch TWRPI daughter cards that may feature keypads, rotary dials, sliders, etc.
6.12 USB The KL25Z128 features a full-speed/low-speed USB module with OTG/Host/Device capability and built-in transceiver. The TWR-KL25Z routes the USB D+ and D- signals from the KL25Z128 MCU directly to the on-board USB connector (J13) A power supply switch with an enable input signal and over-current flag output signal is used to supply power to the USB connector when the KL25Z128 is operating in host mode.
7 TWR-KL25Z Jumper options The following is a list of all the jumper options. The default installed jumper settings are shown in bold. Note: Default Configuration, Board powered by OpenSDA USB, RTC powered by V_BRD Jumper Jumper Signal Jumper Option...
