This page will guide you through the process of setting up and using the FRDMSTBANBP8XD board.
1.1 Kit Contents/Packing List
The FRDMSTBANBP8XD contents include:
FRDMSTBANBP8XD shield board with Arduino headers
Quick Start Guide
1.2 Additional Resources
The FRDMSTBANBP8XD can be paired with a variety of NXP MCU boards. However, an evaluation project is available to customers who select the FRDM-KW36 board.
1.3 User Manual
Refer to UM11568, FRDMSTBANBP8XD shield board for additional details on the
featured components and board configuration.
Get to Know the Hardware
2.1 Board Description
The FRDMSTBANBP8XD shield board incorporates an NBP8FD fully integrated battery pressure monitor sensor that offers:
a small footprint in a 4 x 4 mm package
low power consumption
SPI
ready/interrupt
power supply enable capabilities
The FRDMSTBANBP8XD shield board can be easily connected to an NXP Freedom
MCU board via the Arduino headers for evaluation. The FRDM-KW36 board is
recommended.
Users can connect the two boards to evaluate the NPB8XD battery pressure monitor
sensor by using either a terminal program and commands or a demo GUI. In either case,
the hardware facilitates software development.
These boards provide an intuitive way to change the interrupts, PWM (if available), and
power supply enable signals for specific pin configurations. The board also contains test
points that are typically used for evaluation.
2.2 Board features
Sensor add-on/companion boards feature battery pressure monitor sensor with capabilities compatible with the Freedom board ecosystem
Compatible with Arduino® and most NXP Freedom development boards
Allows evaluation of current consumption and pin voltage characteristics
Supports SPI communication interface with host MCU
Supports hardware configurability to switch PWM output (NBP9 only)
Support multiple test points on the board
2.3 Board Components
The FRDMSTBANBP8XD shield board comes with standard Arduino headers and can
be paired and connected with NXP Freedom MCU boards for user evaluations and
software development. For quick evaluation and prototyping, NXP provides a demo
project targeted to the FRDM-KW36 board and hardware design files that help reduce
the time to market.
Configure the hardware
As shown in Figure 1, the following signals are available on the Arduino headers of the FRDMSTBANBP8XD shield board:
The interrupt signals, INTx can be ported to either J3-6 or J3-8 by selector jumper J1
The power supply enable signal, PS_ENx can be ported to either J5-1 or J5-2 by
selector jumper J2
The PWM signal (NPB9FD only) can be ported to J3-5 by selector jumper J8, pins
1-2. Note that the default setting is the BKGD signal (J8, pins 2-3) used to program U1
via the BDM port through J7. The SPI interface is provided through J3 and J5. These
are:
J3-3, CS_B, Client Select
J5-4, SOCI, Server-Out-Client-In data
J5-5, SICO, Server-In-Client-Out data
J5-6, SCLK, SPI clock
VDD is supplied through J6-2 / J6-4. This is typically supplied through a Freedom
MCU board such as the FRDM-KW36
GND is supplied through J6-6 / J6-7. This is typically supplied through a Freedom MCU board such as the FRDM-KW36
