1. Plug It In
The NXP analog product development boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating NXP products. The boards support a range of analog, mixed-signal and power solutions. They incorporate monolithic integrated circuits and system-in-package devices that use proven high-volume technology. NXP products offer longer battery life, a smaller form factor, reduced component counts, lower cost and improved performance in powering state-of-the-art systems.
This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the RDI7014DT1 board.

2.2 Board Description
The RDI7014DT1 serves as a hardware evaluation tool in support of NXP's MC33771C device. The RDI7014DT1 is an ideal platform for rapid prototyping of MC33771C-based applications that involve current, voltage and temperature sensing.
The RDI7014DT1 includes a transformer enabling communication in a high- speed isolated communication network. The information is digitally transmitted to a microcontroller for processing.
3. Configure Hardware
3.1 Battery Emulation Connection
A minimum of 7 cells and a maximum of 14 cells can be monitored. NXP provides a 14 cell battery emulator board, BATT-14CEMULATOR. This board provides an intuitive way to change the voltage across any of the 14 cells of an emulated battery pack and four voltage outputs to emulate four external NTC. The emulator board can be connected to the RDI7014DT1 connector J1 using the provided supply cable.
3.2 TPL Communication Connection
In a high-voltage Isolated application with a daisy chain configuration, up to 63 RDI7014DT1 boards may be connected. The TPL connections use the COMM connectors (J2,J3).
3.3 Additional Board Support
Refer to UM12140, RDI7014DT1 evaluation board user manual for additional details on the hardware configuration.
