Can I use MC33664 with RaspberryPi ?

[Yan1]

Hello,
I have a battery with 14 cells equipped with a MC3377x using TPL communication.
Can I use the MC33664 component with a raspberry pi zith SPI to read the 14 cells voltages ?

Thanks in advance,

Yan

Hello,

I have a new question to complet previous one.

If I have 2 arduino, Can I use one, configured as a master, to send the message "READ" to the MC33664 (using SCLK_TX, CSB_TX,
DATA_TX I/O)

and use another Arduino, configured as a slave, to get the response from the MC33664  (using CLK_RX, CSB_RX, DATA_RX I/O) ?

Yes, that's also possible.

So I will try with Arduino instead.

I'm not very good with programming in this field, where can I find (or can you provide) a basic code to use with arduino for reading cells voltages only?

thanks a lot again

We provide generic driver written in C which can be ported to any suitable 32bit microcontroller. It was tested on S32K144 microcontroller. You can find the software package on this page:

Thanks a lot sir,

I read somewhere that the Raspberry pi can't be configured as a slave (about SPI I mean), is it a problem ?

I only want to read cells voltages

[lukaszadrapa]

Yes, that will be a problem. You need SPI slave to read data from MC33664.

Hi Yan,

yes, you can use any microcontroller with two SPI modules and with 3.3V / 5V compatible logic thresholds.
