KIT-TPLSNIFEVB

KIT-TPLSNIFEVB is a Battery Management System (BMS) communication monitoring and debugging toolkit. It is used to monitor and decode BMS internal communication. It is composed of separate hardware and software components. The KIT-TPLSNIFEVB hardware board facilitates the acquisition of electrical transport protocol link (ETPL) signals by a logic analyser. It is a listen-only tool that can be used at the end of an ETPL bus or directly included in a daisy chain, as it is designed not to be intrusive on the ETPL bus. The TPL decoder is a High Level Analyser (HLA) extension for the Saleae Logic Software. It eases decoding of the NXP TPL protocols on several physical layers.

• Connection to any point of the monitored TPL bus
• Analyzer connection w/ cable pin-to-pin compatible w/ Saleae Logic 8, Logic Pro 8/16 analyser series
• Powered through a USB connector by a 5V source, typ USB power bank / USB cable connected to computer
• Minimal loading of the TPL line
• Internal galvanic isolation between the TPL and rest of the circuits
• Integrated keep-alive function to avoid power bank self shut-off
• Targeted for battery management system applications
• Battery Cell Controllers: Li-ion battery cell controller IC (MC33771B/1C (14ch ), MC33772B/2C (6Ch)
• MC33775 (14 ch) and MC33774 (18 ch) li-Ion battery cell controller IC ASIL D
• Battery Communication Ics: MC33664 and MC33665A
