NXP Semiconductors BATT-7318EMU Battery Pack Emulator Board
NXP Semiconductors BATT-7318EMU Battery Pack Emulator Board is an 18-cell battery pack emulator that enables faster evaluation and software development for BMx7318 battery cell controller (BCC) evaluation boards (EVBs). By simulating cell voltage, pack temperature, and current-sense conditions, the board gives engineers a practical way to test battery management system (BMS) behavior without connecting to a live battery stack.
Individual slider controls allow users to adjust each emulated cell from 1.2V to 4.2V. In contrast, additional controls emulate negative temperature coefficient (NTC) inputs and shunt voltage ranges for charge and discharge current testing. With support for the NXP Semiconductors EVBMA7318-SPI and EVBMA7318-TPL, the BATT-7318EMU simplifies setup for battery management system evaluation across automotive and industrial applications.
