It can provide a broad range of expansion board options. The on-board interfaces include LED, a 3-axis 
digital sensor (3D accelerometer), and two capacitive touch pads. 

There are many software development tool options available to the user. Choices include Kinetis Design 
Studio (KDS), IAR Embedded Workbench, Keil MDK featuring the µVision IDE, and so on. 

All of these features combine to give users the Tower needed to rapidly prototype many embedded 
designs: a powerful microcontroller built on a very low-power core and SOC platform, easy-access to 
I/O with a large ecosystem of compatible hardware, a flexible programming and debug interface, and a 
large ecosystem of software development environments. 

2. Getting Started

 for the Quick Start 

Package and software lab guides. 

3. TWR-KL28Z Features 

The TWR-KL28Z hardware is a Tower development board assembled with the following features: 

 

MKL28Z512VLL7 MCU (72 MHz, 512 KB Flash, 128 KB RAM, 32 KB ROM,100 LQFP 
package) 

 

3-Axis Digital Accelerometer, MMA8451Q  

 

On-board serial and debug adapter 

 

 I/O headers for easy access to MCU I/O pins 

 

Flexible power supply options :USB, coin cell battery, external source 

 

Capacitive touch pad 

 

Reset push button  

 

NMI and LLWU buttons 

 

 LEDs  

The FRDM-KL28Z features two MCUs: The target MCU is the MKL28Z512VLL7. The CMSIS-DAP 
MCU is the MK20DX128VFM5.
