NXP Semiconductors RDI7018C3T1 Reference Design is a battery cell monitoring unit (CMU) reference design with an electrical transport protocol link (ETPL) communication interface toward a Battery Management Unit (BMU). This reference design is ideal for rapid prototyping of a high-voltage battery energy storage system (BESS) software and hardware. The board contains three BMI7018 analog front ends (AFEs) in a daisy chain. The NXP Semiconductors RDI7018C3T1 can be used to monitor a battery module with up to 54 cells. There are a total of 27 GPIO/analog measurement inputs for temperature or other measurements. An energy storage system (ESS) is a typical application.
