Overview
MC33982EHFKR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a single-channel intelligent high-side power switch with 2.0 mΩ RDS(on) at 30 A and 13 V, SPI- and parallel-controlled, featuring programmable overcurrent thresholds (15–120 A), 6–27 V operating range, and self-recovery protection for automotive motor and solenoid loads.
For engineers reviewing the MC33982EHFKR2 datasheet, MC33982EHFKR2 pinout, MC33982EHFKR2 application, or MC33982EHFKR2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, fault reporting granularity, current-sense accuracy (±13% at 30 A), and validated alternative part selection guidance.
Technical Context
The MC33982EHFKR2 integrates an N-channel MOSFET with active clamp energy rating of 0.6 J and reverse polarity protection down to –16 V. Its dual-mode control supports both SPI-configurable diagnostics (3.0 MHz max) and direct PWM/parallel IN pin operation, enabling fail-safe load management during communication loss.
Internal architecture includes programmable watchdog timeout (310–2500 ms), selectable slew rates (0.15–5.6 V/µs), and two SPI-selectable current sense ratios (1/4900 and 1/34700) with ±13% and ±18% accuracy respectively - all calibrated for VPWR = 9–16 V and TJ ≤ 150 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 2.0 mΩ max at IHS = 30 A, VPWWR = 13 V, TJ = 25 °C - enables low conduction loss in high-current 12 V automotive systems |
| Output Current Rating | 60 A continuous (TJ ≤ 150 °C) - supports peak inrush of motors and solenoids without thermal shutdown |
| Operating Voltage | 6.0–27 V on VPWR, 4.5–5.5 V on VDD - compatible with 12 V/24 V battery rails and MCU logic supply |
| SPI Interface | Up to 3.0 MHz clock, 8-bit command frame, daisy-chain capable - allows multi-device configuration with minimal MCU GPIO use |
| Current Sense Accuracy | ±13% at 30 A for CSR0 (1/4900), ±18% at 30 A for CSR1 (1/34700) - enables reliable closed-loop current monitoring without external shunt calibration |
| Overcurrent Thresholds | Low-detection range: 11–55 A (8 levels); High-detection: 72–167 A (3 levels) - configurable blanking times prevent false trips during startup transients |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160–190 °C with 5–20 °C hysteresis - prevents latch-up under sustained overload while allowing safe recovery after cooling |
Pinout & Package
MC33982EHFKR2 uses a 16-pin PQFN (98ARL10521D footprint), 12 mm × 12 mm, thermally enhanced with exposed VPWR tab. Package meets JEDEC J-STD-020C MSL3 reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CSNS | Current sense output | Provides proportional current sink (1/4900 or 1/34700) for ground-referenced voltage generation - enables MCU ADC monitoring without isolation |
| 2 WAKE | Watchdog enable input | Active-high logic signal that arms watchdog timer; internal pull-down ensures safe default OFF state during power-up |
| 3 RST | Reset and sleep control | Active-low input initializing registers and entering <5 µA sleep mode; rising edge starts watchdog - critical for system-level safety sequencing |
| 4 IN | Direct output control | CMOS-level parallel input supporting PWM or static ON/OFF; internal pull-down prevents floating state - used in fail-safe mode |
| 5 FS | Fault status output | Open-drain active-low signal requiring external VDD pull-up - reports aggregated fault condition (not specific fault type) |
| 6 FSI | Fail-safe configuration | Resistor-programmable pin setting HS output state (ON/OFF) after watchdog timeout - defines deterministic behavior during SPI failure |
| 7 CS | SPI chip select | Active-low enable for SPI communication; internal pull-up allows bus sharing across multiple devices - eliminates need for MCU GPIO per device |
| 8 SCLK | SPI clock input | CMOS-level clock up to 3.0 MHz; internal pull-down ensures idle-low default - synchronizes 8-bit command/data transfers |
| 9 SI | SPI serial input | MSB-first data input; internal pull-down prevents spurious commands during power ramp - accepts register writes and control commands |
| 10 VDD | Digital supply | 4.5–5.5 V supply for SPI logic only; internal regulator maintains partial functionality if VDD fails - decouples digital interface from main power rail |
| 11 SO | SPI serial output | Tri-state CMOS output active only when CS = LOW; provides fault status, configuration readback, and diagnostic data - enables daisy-chaining |
| 12 NC | No connect | Unbonded pad - must remain unconnected per design; no electrical function or thermal benefit |
| 13 GND | Analog/digital ground | Common reference for logic, analog sensing, and current monitor - requires low-impedance PCB plane connection to minimize noise coupling |
| 14 VPWR | Main power input | Backside-exposed tab connecting to 6–27 V battery rail; carries full load current and dissipates heat - must be soldered to thermal pad |
| 15–16 HS | High-side output | Parallel-connected output pins delivering protected power to load; 2.0 mΩ RDS(on) and active clamp limit voltage spikes during inductive turn-off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self-protected high-side switching | Integrated overtemperature, overvoltage (28–36 V), undervoltage (5.0–6.0 V), open/short-load detection, and active clamp - eliminates need for external protection circuitry |
| Programmable fault response | SPI-configurable overcurrent trip levels, blanking times (0.08–202 ms), and watchdog timeout (310–2500 ms) - adapts protection to specific load dynamics |
| Dual-control architecture | Simultaneous SPI configuration and parallel IN pin control - enables seamless transition to fail-safe mode upon SPI interruption |
| High-accuracy current monitoring | Two selectable sense ratios (1/4900, 1/34700) with ±13% and ±18% accuracy at 30 A - supports precise load diagnostics without external shunt resistor |
| Reverse polarity protection | Withstands –16 V VPWR with no damage - critical for automotive jump-start scenarios and battery terminal reversal |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33982CHFKR2 | Higher clamp energy (1.0 J vs. 0.6 J), identical pinout and SPI interface - optimized for higher-inductance loads | Preferred for 24 V systems with >16 mH inductive energy storage; same thermal and electrical specs otherwise | Select CHFKR2 when driving larger solenoids or motors with longer cable inductance requiring stronger clamping |
| TPS4H160-Q1 | Lower RDS(on) (1.6 mΩ), 40 V abs max, no parallel IN pin, fixed 1.5 ms overcurrent blanking - TI's automotive-qualified alternative | Lacks programmable blanking and dual-control mode; requires external current sense for monitoring | Choose TPS4H160-Q1 only when absolute lowest conduction loss is prioritized and SPI configurability is secondary |
Compared with MC33982EHFKR2, MC33982CHFKR2 offers greater inductive energy handling but identical control flexibility, while TPS4H160-Q1 trades programmability for marginally lower RDS(on) and simplified interface - making EHFKR2 optimal for complex, adaptive load protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the MC33982EHFKR2?
The MC33982EHFKR2 supports 60 A continuous output current as long as junction temperature remains below 150 °C. This rating assumes proper PCB thermal design with the VPWR tab soldered to a ≥200 mm² copper area. At 30 A and 25 °C ambient, RDS(on) is 2.0 mΩ, yielding only 1.8 W conduction loss - well within thermal limits for standard 2-layer boards.
How does the MC33982EHFKR2 handle inductive load turn-off voltage spikes?
The MC33982EHFKR2 incorporates an active clamp circuit rated for 0.6 J of inductive energy dissipation. During HS turn-off, the internal clamp activates to limit VPWR overshoot to ≤41 V, protecting downstream components. This is validated per L = 16 mH, RL = 0 Ω, VPWR = 12 V, TJ = 150 °C test conditions - matching typical automotive solenoid and motor flyback profiles.
Can the MC33982EHFKR2 operate without an external microcontroller?
Yes - the MC33982EHFKR2 supports standalone operation via its parallel IN pin, which accepts CMOS-level signals for direct ON/OFF or PWM control. When SPI communication fails or is disabled, the device defaults to fail-safe mode governed by the FSI pin resistance. This dual-control architecture ensures functional safety compliance without requiring constant MCU supervision.
What are the key differences between MC33982EHFKR2 and MC33982CHFKR2?
The MC33982EHFKR2 and MC33982CHFKR2 share identical pinout, SPI interface, temperature range (–40 to 125 °C), and RDS(on). Their primary difference is clamp energy rating: EHFKR2 is rated for 0.6 J, while CHFKR2 supports 1.0 J. This makes CHFKR2 better suited for higher-inductance loads like large 24 V solenoids, whereas EHFKR2 targets cost-optimized 12 V applications with moderate energy storage.
Does the MC33982EHFKR2 support daisy-chained SPI communication?
Yes - the MC33982EHFKR2 supports true daisy-chain topology via its SI and SO pins. The SI pin accepts serial data from the MCU or upstream device, while SO outputs shifted-out data to the next device. With CS asserted low, each device processes its own 8-bit command and forwards remaining bits - enabling control of up to 16 devices with only three MCU pins (CS, SCLK, SI/SO shared).
