A 4-layer PCB with a dedicated ground plane and careful routing of power and signal traces is recommended. Refer to the Freescale application note AN4533 for more details.
The MCZ33812AEKR2 has multiple low-power modes. To configure, set the PMCTRL register to the desired mode (e.g., STOP, VLPS, or LLS). Refer to the datasheet section 10.3 for more information.
The maximum operating frequency for the MCZ33812AEKR2 is 32 MHz, but it can be overclocked to 40 MHz with reduced voltage and temperature ranges.
The MCZ33812AEKR2 has a built-in watchdog timer (WDOG) module. Configure the WDOG_CS1 register to enable the watchdog, and set the timeout period using the WDOG_TOVAL register.
The MCZ33812AEKR2 has a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Ensure good thermal conductivity between the device and the PCB, and consider using thermal vias or a heat sink for high-power applications.
