NXP Semiconductors Sensor ToolBox Development Board for FXLS8974CF

NXP Semiconductors Sensor ToolBox Development Board for FXLS8974CF (FRDM-K22F-A8974) is a demonstration and development platform for the FXLS8974CF Low-Power 12-Bit Digital IoT Accelerometer. The FXLS8974CF is optimized for industrial and medical IoT applications that require ultra-low-power wake-up on motion. The FXLS8974CF supports both 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 FXLS8974CF 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-K22F-A8974 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.
