1. Out of the Box

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 TEA2017DB1580 demo board.

2.1 Board Description

TEA2017DB1580 240 W 12 V 20 A power supply 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 DCM/QR/CCM-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 TEA2017 PFC + LLC controller and the Synchronous Rectifier TEA2025T 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 TEA2017 ICs, NXP Semiconductors provides special IC versions for product development. The difference is that the development IC samples have a dedicated I²C interface for easy modification of settings while the IC is operating (“on the fly” changing). The TEA2017DB1580 demo board uses the development version of the TEA2017.

Refer to UM11397, UM11235, UM11657, UM11527 and the Ringo TEA2017 software for additional details on the featured components and board configuration.

2.3 USB-I²C Programming Interface

The USB-I²C programming interface enables setting TEA2017 controller parameters from a computer. The available Ringo TEA2017 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 use by consumer or industrial purpose.

2.4 IC Programming Board

This board can be used for programming small series of TEA2017 and/or TEA2016 samples. Place the jumper on the board in the position that corresponds with the IC to be programmed.

By connecting both the 3-pin and 6-pin connector to the USB-I²C programming interface, regular production samples and development samples can be programmed after selecting the correct channel with the switch on the USB-I²C interface.

3.1 Installing Software

Download the zip file with Ringo TEA2017 software to a folder on your computer and unzip the file.

For the Ringo software to work, the FT232H driver for the USB-I²C programming 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.

Important: When the FT232H driver is not installed, the Ringo software does not work.

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.

4. Configure Hardware

4.1 Power Supply Setup

The TEA2017DB1580 demo board contains a TEA2017dev sample that can communicate via I²C during operation. It is connected to the interface with a 3-pin connection.

4.2 IC Programming Board Setup

Connecting a IC programming board to the USB-I²C programming interface with a 6-pin cable provides reading or programming for regular TEA2017 production ICs.

If a TEA2017 development IC version is used, then connect the 3-pin cable as well.

The switch on the USB-I²C programming interface selects the 3-pin or 6-pin connection.
