Purchase your BATT-14CEMULATOR: 14-cell Battery Pack to Supply MC33771C BCC EVBs
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 BATT-14CEMULATOR board.

- Current capability of the cell output voltage is 110 mA
- Up to three evaluation boards can be connected in parallel
- One temperature sensor emulator potentiometer
- Temperature sensor output voltage can vary from 0 V to +4.95 V
- Two output terminals to allow stack-up of several emulators
2.2 Board Description
The BATT-14CEMULATOR board can emulate a multi-cell battery pack that can be easily hooked-up to the evaluation boards for MC33771C battery cell controllers (BCC):
- RD33771CDSTEVB
- FRDM33771CSPEVB
3. Configure Hardware
3.1 Configure the Hardware
To configure the hardware, complete the following procedure:
- Connect 12 V DC power supply with 1.5 A current capability to the board via
J6, a 3.5 mm diameter jack connector. The center pin is to be connected to the positive voltage and the ring terminal to the ground - Connect the MC33771C EVB board to the battery emulator using a 26-pin connector that is included in the MC33771C EVB pack
- Move the potentiometers to change the voltage on the 14 cells and on the temperature sensor emulators
3.2 Ready to Use
Start embedded application development.
