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 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 TEA2016DB1519 demo board.

2.1 Board Description

TEA2016DB1519 240W 12 V 20 A power supply demo board

The demo board can operate at a mains input voltage between 90 V (RMS) and 264 V (RMS; universal mains). It contains three sub circuits:

  • A BCM-type PFC converter
  • A resonant LLC-type HBC converter
  • An SR resonant LLC-type output stage

The purpose of the demo board is to show and evaluate the operation of the TEA2016 PFC + LLC controller and the Synchronous Rectifier TEA1995T in a single output voltage power supply, which includes the operation modes in a typical design. The performance passes general standards, including the EuP lot6 requirements.

tstart start time < 0.5 s at 115 V/60 Hz
η efficiency ≥ 89 % average according to CoC

2.2 Additional Board Support

In addition to the normal TEA2016 ICs, NXP Semiconductors provides special IC versions for product development. The difference is that the development IC samples include a second I2C interface for easy modification of settings while the IC is operating (“on the fly” changing). The TEA2016DB1519 demo board uses the development version of the TEA2016.

Refer to UM11234, UM11235, UM11527 and Ringo software package for additional details on the featured components and board configuration.

2.3 Interface Board

The TEA2016DB1514 interface board is a development tool that enables setting TEA2016 controller parameters from a computer. The available Ringo TEA2016 development software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be installed on a computer.

The interface and software are intended for engineering work in a lab environment as part of power supply development. It is not suitable for consumer or industrial use.

2.4 IC Programming Board

This board can be used to get familiar with programming TEA2016AATdev samples. A sample can be soldered to the board for this purpose.

Adding an IC socket will make the TEA2016DB1561 programming board suitable for programming small series of ICs. By connecting both 3pin and 6pin cables, TEA2016AAT and TEA2016AATdev samples can be programmed by selecting the correct channel by the switch on the USB-I2C interface.

3. Get Software

3.1 Installing Software

Download the zip file to a folder on your computer. The x64 is for 64-bit operating systems; the x86 is for 32-bit operating systems. Unzip the file.

For the Ringo software to work, the FT232H driver for the USB-I2C interface needs to be installed. This installation happens automatically when you connect the interface for the first time via USB. If the driver is not installed automatically, you can use the included drivers to do this manually (a video on the get started page shows how to do this).

The Ringo program needs no installation. It can be started by double-clicking on Ringo.exe. Keep the other files and folders in the same directory because Ringo makes use of it.

3.2 User Manual and Tutorial Videos for the Ringo Software

A user manual and videos are included in the Ringo GUI software for easy access to get familiar with using the software and getting to know the functions that are available.

Videos are available in Ringo for viewing on your local video player or via the NXP website in your browser:

  • Introduction
  • Read and write
  • Information and protection
  • Save settings in file
  • Warning and power bar
  • Read write lock and reset
  • Search and connection quality

4. Configure Hardware

Power supply setup:

The TEA2016DB1519v2 demo board contains a TEA2016AATdev sample that can communicate via I2C during operation. It is connected to the interface with a 3-pin connection.

IC programming board setup:

Connecting a TEA2016DB1561 with a 6-pin cable provides reading or programming for TEA2016AAT ICs. If a TEA2016AATdev IC version is used, connect the 3-pin cable as well.

The switch on the interface selects the 3-pin or 6-pin connection.

4.1 Additional Board Support

Refer to UM11234, UM11235, UM11527 and Ringo software package for additional details on the featured components and board configuration.

Videos show working with a power supply during operation and discusses programmable functions for power supply design optimization.
