Destination Description
• Port 5 pin 0 (EXTAL32K) of target
MCU MCX N94X
• Internal load capacitors provide the entire
crystal load capacitance.
• To measure the 32.768 kHz oscillator
frequency, enable the RTC_CLKOUT signal
to be available on the TAMPER1 pin. It can
be observed at J2_5.
Crystal
oscillator, Y3
24 MHz • Port 1 pin 30 (XTAL48M) of target
MCU MCX N94X
• Port 1 pin 31 (EXTAL48M) of target
MCU MCX N94X
For high-frequency accurate timebase:
• Required external load capacitors are
provided.
• Small package size (2.0 mm x 1.6 mm)
• Low-ESR (80 Ω) crystal.

32.7680 kHz Pin 50 (SUSCLK) of the M.2 Key E
card connector (J12)
Crystal oscillator VDD is supplied by the P3V3
power rail.
Crystal
oscillator, Y7
50 MHz RMII 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet transceiver
(U37)
Provides ETHPHY_CLK to LAN8741 Ethernet
PHY depending upon the JP50 jumper setting.
It also provides a provision to feed the clock
back into the target MCU (MCX N94X). For
JP50 details, see Section 1.6.

2.3 USB interface
The target MCU (MCX N94X) features two USB modules (FS USB and HS USB), each with device and host
capabilities and a built-in transceiver.
• FS USB is a dual-role USB controller that supports full-speed (FS) device or FS / low-speed (LS) embedded
host operation
• HS USB can operate in either device or host mode. In device mode, it can connect to the USB host systems
at either HS USB rate of 480 Mbit/s or FS rate of 12 Mbit/s. In host mode, it can connect to peripheral devices
operating at HS, FS, or the USB 2.0 LS rate of 1.5 Mbit/s.
Table 14 describes the USB ports available on the MCX-N9XX-EVK board.
Part identifier Connector type Description
J28 USB2.0 Micro-AB
connector
Connects to FS USB controller of the target MCU. The J28 USB port
can connect in both Host and Device mode. In Device mode, this port
can provide the 5 V power supply source to the board depending upon
the J26 jumper setting (see Section 1.6).
J27 USB2.0 Micro-AB
connector
Connects to HS USB controller of the target MCU. The J27 USB port
can connect in both Host and Device mode. In Device mode, this port
can provide the 5 V power supply source to the board depending upon
the J26 jumper setting (see Section 1.6).
Table 14. USB Ports
FS USB interface
On the MCX-N9XX-EVK board, the USB0_DM and USB0_DP signals from the target MCU (MCX N94X)
connect to the onboard USB connector (J28) directly through the required 33 ohm resistors and a common
mode choke. The common mode choke is included for noise suppression on the DM / DP signals, however,
pads are included to install bypass resistors for testing choke-less configurations.
Figure 14 shows the FS USB circuit diagram.
