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 will guide you through the process of setting up and using the RD772BJBCANFDEVB board.

1.1 Kit Contents/Packing List

The RD772BJBCANFDEVB kit contents include:

  • Assembled and tested evaluation board in an anti-static bag
  • High-voltage measurement cables
  • External thermistor connection cable
  • Power supply and CAN communication cable

1.2 Lethal Voltage and Fire Ignition Hazard

WARNING

Lethal voltage and fire ignition hazard

The non-insulated high voltages that are present when operating this product, constitute a risk of electric shock, personal injury, death and/ or ignition of fire. This product is intended for evaluation purposes only. It shall be operated in a designated test area by personnel qualified according to local requirements and labor laws to work with non- insulated mains voltages and high-voltage circuits. This product shall never be operated unattended.
