Getting to know the hardware The KIT33771TPLEVB has an integrated gateway communication link to an external local EEPROM. In high-voltage isolated applications, the MC33771’s I²C Communication Interface manages communication with the EEPROM. After a reset, the device automatically loads the EEPROM calibration parameters into the MC33771 registers.

The KIT33771PTLEVB uses an optocoupler to detect a fault that is dependent on user defined internal or external faults. The Fault signal can be chained between EVBs and can be made available on the controller inputs. With two KIT33771TPLEVB boards, the fault is chained as shown below.

Some component values may be placed and adjusted for EMC purpose: C91 (default 22 pf), C92 (default 22 pF), R107, R108, C68, C69, and the pi filter made of R105, R106 and C93. By default, all other components (except C91 and C92) are not populated. KIT33771TPLEVB evaluation board, Rev. 2.0...
Accessory transceiver board Accessory transceiver board The KIT33771TPLEVB kit is designed for use with the KIT33664AEVB in high-voltage isolated applications which provide a SPI to high speed isolated communication interface. The KIT33664AEVB includes a MC33664 isolated network high speed transceiver. MCU SPI data bits are directly converted to pulse bit information.
Battery stack connection A minimum of eight cells and a maximum of 14 cells can be monitored. Cells: 8 - 14 Stack: 10 - 70 V 34-pin Ribbon Cable Figure 13. Battery stack connection KIT33771TPLEVB evaluation board, Rev. 2.0 NXP Semiconductors...
Configuring the hardware Isense connection A 0.1 Ω shunt resistor is available on the KIT33771TPLEVB for current measure during demonstrations. It is also possible to use an external shunt for current measure by disconnecting the embedded one. 5.2.1 Using the embedded 0.1 Ω shunt (default configuration) The current should be limited to ±500 mA to avoid any damage of the EVB.

Configuration 1: measuring external loads and KIT33771TPLEVB currents Figure 15 illustrates the connections required to measure both external load currents and KIT33771TPLEVB loads. Connect the battery stack to the X1-1 to X1-4 pins (positive) and X1-33, X1-31 pins (negative). Connect one side of the external shunt to the X1-33 and X1-31 pins. Connect the other side to X1-34 and X1-32 pins.
