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-14EXTENDER board.

Configure the hardware
3.1 Use case 1
In this use case, the BATT-14EXTENDER is powered up by a BATT-14CEMULATOR. Up to four EVBs can be connected to the BATT-14EXTENDER. No additional components need to be populated. The board is delivered by default for this use case.
3.2 Use case 2
In this use case, the BATT-14EXTENDER is powered up by a BATT-14EMULATOR and up to four EVB can be connected to the board. BATT-14EMULATOR doesn’t have an NTC emulation. In order to allow the EVBs to have an NTC emulation, it is recommended to populate RT1-RT4 footprints with NTCs.
3.3 Use case 3
In this use case, the BATT-14EXTENDER is powered up by an external power supply. The positive terminal of the power supply is connected to J7 and the negative to J8.
J7 and J8 are 2 mm banana plugs. Divider bridge resistors as well as NTCs must be populated to be able to use the board with that option.
3.4 Additional board support
Refer to UM11484, BATT-14EXTENDER 14-cell battery pack extender user manual for additional details on the hardware configuration.
