FRDM-MCXN947 Board User Manual
On the FRDM-MCXN947 board, the USB1_DM and USB1_DP signals from the target MCU connect to the
onboard USB connector (J11) directly through a common mode choke. The common mode choke is included for
noise suppression on the DM / DP signals.
2.4 Ethernet interface
The target MCU (MCXN947) features one Ethernet controller (ENET0) module.
On the FRDM-MCXN947 board, the Ethernet controller connects to an RJ45 connector through an Ethernet
PHY transceiver. The transmit, receive, and other Ethernet signals are on the P1 port pins. The FRDM-
MCXN947 only supports RMII configuration. For this reason, the TXD3 and TXD2 pins of the Ethernet PHY
(LAN8741A-EN) have been grounded through resistors R68 and R67, respectively.
Table 12 describes the onboard devices supporting the Ethernet interface.

Table 12. Ethernet interface devices
Input to the XTAL1/CLKIN pin of the Ethernet PHY is a 50 MHz clock from an external 50 MHz crystal oscillator
(Y3). The oscillator is enabled by default. The clock circuit also provides a provision to feed the clock back into
the target MCU (MCXN947) through Port P1 pin 4 (P1_4/ENET_TXCLK).
Note: The 50 MHz oscillator can be disabled by populating the R154 resistor.
2.5 FlexCAN interface
The controller area network (FlexCAN) is a full implementation of the CAN protocol specification, the CAN
with flexible data rate (CAN FD) protocol, and the CAN 2.0 version B protocol, which supports both standard
and extended message frames and long payloads. The target MCU (MCXN947) supports two CAN (w/wo FD)
controllers (CAN0 to CAN1).
On FRDM-MCXN947, only the CAN0 controller is used. The CAN0 controller connects to a 4-pin CAN header
through a CAN transceiver (TJA1057GTK/3Z). The CAN0_TXD and CAN0_RXD signals are through ports
P1_10 and P1_11, respectively.
Table 13 describes the HS CAN transceiver and 4-pin CAN header used on the board.
