2.5 LPSPI interface
The target MCU has two Low-Power Serial Peripheral Interface (LPSPI) modules: LPSPI0 and LPSPI1. Each
LPSPI module can act as a SPI master or slave, and supports four peripheral chip selects (PCSes): PCS0,
PCS1, PCS2, and PCS3. The KW45B41Z-EVK board only supports LPSPI1 module, with all its PCSes.
Figure 18 shows the KW45B41Z-EVK LPSPI diagram.

(AT25XE161D-MAHN-T) for over-the-air (OTA)
programming or for storing non-volatile system
data or parameters
PCS1 Ranger 4 socket connector J5. It allows a
SPI connection between the target MCU and
plugged-in Ranger 4 UWB board.
PCS2 Arduino socket DH connector J2. It allows a
SPI connection between the target MCU and
plugged-in Arduino board.
Bidirectional voltage translator U24 (74AVC4
TD245BQ). It supports a USB-to-SPI bridge
between MCU-Link and the target MCU, by
shifting voltage levels of signals between the
two devices from 3.3 V to VCC_TGMCU and
vice versa. By default, the USB-to-SPI bridge is
disabled, as jumper JP34 is shorted. It can be
enabled by opening JP34.
MCU-Link (LPC55S69). The USB-to-SPI bridge
between MCU-Link and the target MCU can be
used for debugging the target MCU from MCU-
Link.

mikroBUS socket connector J12. It allows a
SPI connection between the target MCU and
plugged-in click board.
