2.1 Board Description
The RD9Z1-638BJBEVM provides a platform for evaluating designs that implement NXP’s MM9Z1_638 Battery Monitoring System device. It connects to a power distribution unit (PDU) and enables voltage sensing, current sensing, temperature sensing and diagnostics of the contactor status.
The kit supports evaluations in conjunction with a CAN network and is ideal for prototyping High-Voltage Battery Junction Box (HV-BJB) systems.
2.2 Board Features
- Power supply input from 5 VDC to 12 VDC
- Up to seven voltage sensing channels for high-voltage measurements
- One current sensing channel to measure charge current and discharge current
- One temperature sensing channel to measure shunt resistor temperature for calibration
- Integrated insulation resistance measurement
- One channel isolated CAN communication to BMU/VCU
