NXP Semiconductors Sensor ToolBox Development Board for FXLS8967AF

NXP Semiconductors Sensor ToolBox Development Board for FXLS8967AF (FRDM-STBA-A8967) is a demonstration and development platform for the FXLS8967AF Low Power 12-bit Digital Accelerometer. The FXLS8967AF is optimized for automotive security and convenience applications that require ultra-low-power wakeup on motion. The FXLS8967A supports high-performance and low-power operating modes, allowing maximum flexibility to meet the resolution and power needs for various unique use cases.

The NXP Semiconductors Sensor ToolBox Development Board for FXLS8967AF is fully Arduino I/O header compatible, enabling it to be used with Arduino and other Microcontroller Boards. It is specifically designed for use with the FRDM-K22F MCU Board, based on the Kinetis® K22 Arm® Cortex®-M4 MCU. The FRDM-K22F MCU Board powers the FRDM-STBA-A8967 Board via the Arduino headers.

The Sensor ToolBox Development Board and FRDM-K22F MCU Board help accelerate sensor evaluation using the FreeMASTER Sensor Tool software. This combination of hardware and software enables end-users to move through each product development phase quickly and increases ease of use.
