2.1.2 Power modes
The KW45B41Z-EVK board supports the following power modes:
• DC-DC Buck mode: This is the default power mode of the board. In this mode, the DC-DC converter of the
target MCU is enabled.
• DC-DC Bypass mode: In this mode, the target MCU DC-DC converter is disabled
• PMIC mode
• Smart Power Switch mode
Changing power mode of the board from default mode (DC-DC Buck mode) to another power mode (DC-DC
Bypass mode, PMIC mode, or Smart Power Switch mode) involves reconfiguring some of the board jumpers.
Changing power mode also involves cutting traces at the bottom side of the PCB.
Table 10 explains how to switch the KW45B41Z-EVK board from one power mode to another power mode by
changing jumper settings.
