1. Out of the Box
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 guides you through the process of setting up and using the PACK-BJBEMUL board.
1.1 Kit Contents and Packing List
| Description Quantity | Quantity |

| High-voltage measurement cable (orange) | 10 |
| Chassis connection cable (black) | 1 |
| Two points general-purpose cable (pyrotechnic switch connection, crash signal connection) | 4 |
| Current measurement and temperature measurement cable | 2 |
1.2 Extra Hardware
The PACK-BJBEMUL requires an external +12 V power supply.

2.1 Kit Overview
NXP provides battery junction box (BJB) integrated circuits (for example, the MC33777A). The PACK-BJBEMUL emulates different elements of a BJB (for example, high voltage, battery current, pyrotechnic switch) to ease the evaluation of the BJB devices.

3.1 Configure Hardware
This section describes the typical setup to configure the PACK-BJBEMUL to evaluate the RDA777T2 reference design.
The RDA777T2 can measure the emulator current, voltage and temperature. It can also trigger the pyrotechnic switch emulation circuitry.
The setup shows a KIT-PC2TPLEVB board to interface the RDA777T2 with the computer via NXP software tools (for example, battery management system (BMS) ScriptGUI).
