TWR-MC36XSDEVB Tower System Platform User Guide

User guide for the TWR-MC36XSDEVB Tower System board featuring NXP eXtreme Switch devices for controlling automotive and industrial loads.

View design document

Overview

The TWR-MC36XSDEVB is an evaluation platform designed for the Freescale/NXP Tower System to demonstrate the capabilities of the MC06XSD200, MC10XSD200, MC16XSD200, and MC50XSD200 high-side switches. These dual-channel eXtreme Switch devices provide 8.0V to 36V operation with low Rds(on) values ranging from 6mΩ to 50mΩ and support steady-state currents up to 9.0A. The board facilitates SPI daisy-chain communication, PWM control, and integrated diagnostics for overcurrent, overtemperature, and open-load conditions. It is compatible with Kinetis MCU Tower boards such as the TWR-K70F120M and TWR-K20D72M for rapid prototyping.

Use Cases

  • Automotive bulb and LED lighting control
  • DC motor driver evaluation
  • Industrial power distribution systems
  • Power management prototyping
  • Fault-tolerant load switching
