1. Get Started

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.

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.

3.4 Ready to Use

Start embedded application development.
