Product details
Overview
MC33910BAC from NXP Semiconductors is a LIN System Basis Chip (SBC) with integrated 5.0 V/60 mA LDO regulator, two 50 mA/60 mA high-side drivers, LIN 2.0/2.1 transceiver, configurable window watchdog, and high-voltage analog/logic input (L1). It operates across -40 °C to 125 °C in 32-pin LQFP and supports automotive body electronics such as window lift and door lock control.
For engineers reviewing the MC33910BAC datasheet, MC33910BAC pinout, MC33910BAC application, or MC33910BAC equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated pin roles, confirmed thermal and electrical specs per Rev. 9.0 (July 2016), LIN conformance to SAE J2602-2, and real-world diagnostic and wake-up behavior in Normal/Sleep/Stop modes.
Technical Context
The MC33910BAC integrates SPI-controlled power management, LIN physical layer with selectable waveshaping, dual high-side switches with PWM capability, and analog multiplexing of L1 for contact monitoring or external wake-up. Its internal architecture includes independent voltage regulation paths for VDD (5.0 V main supply) and HVDD (5.0 V Hall sensor output), plus dedicated fault reporting via SPI-accessible status registers.
It implements three distinct operating modes: Normal (full functionality), Sleep (VDD off, wake-up via LIN/L1/cyclic sense), and Stop (VDD on at reduced current, wake-up via CS/LIN/L1/cyclic sense/external reset). Wake-up sources are hardware-debounced and configurable, and the window watchdog uses an external resistor (20–200 kΩ) for programmable timeout (8.5–205 ms).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LIN system basis chip applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33912BAC | Same pinout and core functionality; adds CAN 2.0B controller and enhanced ESD robustness (±8 kV HBM on LIN). | Required where CAN+LIN coexistence is needed (e.g., gateway modules); not drop-in due to added CAN PHY and routing complexity. | Select MC33912BAC only if CAN interface is mandatory; otherwise MC33910BAC offers lower cost and simpler layout. |
| TLIN1029DR | Standalone LIN transceiver (no regulator, no HS drivers); supports LIN 2.2A and higher data rates (20 kbps); smaller 8-pin SOIC package. | Used in systems where power management and switching are handled externally (e.g., microcontroller with external FETs). | Choose TLIN1029DR for minimal footprint and higher-speed LIN-only nodes; MC33910BAC remains optimal for integrated SBC requirements. |
Compared with MC33910BAC, MC33912BAC adds CAN capability at higher cost and layout overhead, while TLIN1029DR reduces integration but requires external components for full SBC functionality - making MC33910BAC the balanced choice for cost-sensitive, space-constrained LIN body nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum LIN data rate supported by the MC33910BAC?
The MC33910BAC supports LIN data rates up to 100 kbps with waveshaping enabled, and higher rates with waveshaping disabled. Its physical layer complies with LIN 2.0/2.1 and SAE J2602-2 specifications, ensuring interoperability in automotive networks. The MC33910BAC achieves this using configurable slew-rate control and robust noise immunity design.
Does the MC33910BAC include built-in protection features for its high-side drivers?
Yes, the MC33910BAC provides comprehensive protection for HS1 and HS2, including overcurrent limiting (60–250 mA), open-load detection (5–7.5 mA), short-circuit shutdown, and thermal shutdown at 140–180 °C. All fault conditions generate flags readable via SPI in the High-Side Status Register (HSSR), enabling real-time diagnostics without external circuitry.
How does the MC33910BAC manage low-power operation in automotive sleep modes?
The MC33910BAC supports three low-power states: Sleep (VDD off, ≤35 µA), Stop (VDD on, ≤90 µA), and Normal. Wake-up is possible via LIN bus activity, L1 input, cyclic sense, forced wake-up, or external reset. In Stop mode, it maintains VDD for MCU retention while disabling non-essential blocks - a key feature for meeting OEM quiescent current targets.
Can the MC33910BAC monitor battery voltage directly?
Yes, the MC33910BAC includes a dedicated VSENSE pin that accepts direct connection to the vehicle battery rail. Internally, it applies a 5.25× voltage divider, making the resulting value accessible via the analog multiplexer output ADOUT0. This allows precise battery monitoring using a single ADC channel, with offset compensation and characterization-traceable accuracy.
What is the purpose of the WDCONF pin on the MC33910BAC?
The WDCONF pin configures the window watchdog timeout period using an external resistor (20–200 kΩ). The MC33910BAC calculates tPWD [ms] = [0.466 × (REXT − 20)] + 10, yielding 8.5–205 ms range. An open WDCONF pin defaults to ~110 ms. This hardware-based watchdog detects MCU lockups and triggers safe-state recovery without software dependency - critical for ASIL-B relevant functions.
