Product details
Overview
MC33FS5502Y3KS from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-grade high-voltage PMIC with integrated VPRE synchronous buck controller (up to 10 A peak), dual low-voltage synchronous buck converters (BUCK1 and BUCK3, each up to 3.6 A peak), and one configurable LDO (400 mA DC) - all qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for radio and radar power supply applications.
For engineers reviewing the MC33FS5502Y3KS datasheet, MC33FS5502Y3KS pinout, MC33FS5502Y3KS application, or MC33FS5502Y3KS equivalent, key selection criteria include OTP-configurable power-up sequencing across seven slots, I²C-controlled regulation with CRC, external frequency synchronization (FIN/FOUT), EMC-optimized spread-spectrum and slew-rate control, and fail-safe voltage monitoring with PGOOD/RSTB outputs.
Technical Context
The MC33FS5502Y3KS implements a dual-state-machine architecture: a main state machine managing power sequencing (VPRE → BUCK1/BUCK3/LDO1 in OTP-defined slots) and standby transitions, and a fail-safe state machine independently supervising VBOS, VPRE, VSUP, and VCOREMON with autonomous RSTB/PGOOD assertion. Power-up sequencing supports 250 µs or 1 ms slot delays, and VPRE shutdown delay is programmable from 250 µs to 32 ms via OTP.
It features hardware-level wake-up detection on WAKE1/WAKE2 pins (with external series resistors required), debug mode entry via DBG pin at 4.5–5.5 V after ≥7 ms filtering, and I²C address fixed to 0x20 (main domain) and 0x21 (fail-safe domain) in debug mode. All regulators support overcurrent, overtemperature, and undervoltage/overvoltage fault reporting via dedicated flag registers.

Pinout & Package
HVQFN56 package (SOT684-23), plastic thermally enhanced very thin quad flat no-lead with wettable flanks (dimple type for KS suffix); exposed pad (EP) serves as common GND for BUCK1 and BUCK3 low-side switches.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| WAKE1 / WAKE2 | Wake-up input (A_IN/D_IN) | Asynchronous global wake sources; require external series resistor if used as global pins; pull-down to GND when unused. |
| VPRE_FB / PRE_CSP / PRE_GHS / PRE_GLS / PRE_SW / PRE_BOOT | VPRE controller interface | Supports external high-side/low-side gate drive, bootstrap, current sense, and feedback; configuration-dependent usage per OTP mapping. |
| BUCK1_FB / BUCK1_IN / BUCK1_SW / VCOREMON | Core supply regulation loop | Enables closed-loop control of MCU core rail; VCOREMON must be connected directly to BUCK1 output for SVS monitoring. |
| BUCK3_FB / BUCK3_IN / BUCK3_INQ / BUCK3_SW | RF/low-noise supply regulation loop | BUCK3_INQ provides separate quiet input path to reduce coupling into sensitive RF loads like MMICs. |
| LDO1 / LDO1_IN | Linear regulator output/input | LDO1 supplies MCU I/Os and ADC reference; LDO1_IN accepts filtered input to minimize noise injection. |
| SCL / SDA / VDDI2C | I²C interface | Standard two-wire bus with CRC-protected commands; VDDI2C decouples I²C buffers from main supply for voltage compatibility. |
| FIN / FOUT / PSYNC | Frequency & power synchronization | FIN accepts external clock (e.g., from MCU or crystal oscillator); FOUT provides synchronized output; PSYNC enables coordinated startup/shutdown with other PMICs. |
| PGOOD / RSTB / INTB | Fault signaling outputs | Active-low open-drain outputs requiring external pull-up to VDDIO; RSTB resets MCU; INTB signals register-accessible events (OC, OT, UV/OV). |
| VMON1 / VSUP1 / VSUP2 / VBOS | Supply monitoring inputs | VMON1 monitors external rail; VSUP1/VSUP2 are primary HV inputs; VBOS is best-of-supply output used for internal bias and PSYNC pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OTP-configurable power sequencing | Seven programmable slots with 250 µs or 1 ms inter-slot delay enable precise ramp timing for mixed-signal SoCs and RF subsystems. |
| EMC-optimized switching | Integrated spread-spectrum modulation, slew-rate control, and manual frequency tuning reduce radiated emissions without external components. |
| I²C with CRC and dual-domain access | Separate main (0x20) and fail-safe (0x21) I²C addresses with CRC validation ensure robust communication and independent fault management. |
| Fail-safe voltage supervision | Dedicated analog comparators monitor VBOS, VPRE, VSUP, and VCOREMON; assert PGOOD/RSTB autonomously without MCU intervention. |
| Debug mode with OTP emulation | DBG pin entry enables engineering-mode I²C reconfiguration and OTP emulation using NXP FlexGUI, supporting rapid prototyping without mask changes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage automotive PMIC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33FS5502Y0KS | Same HVQFN56 package and pinout; unprogrammed OTP configuration requiring full custom OTP programming for production use. | Requires engineering effort to define power sequencing, voltages, and protections; not suitable for drop-in replacement without OTP customization. | Select Y0KS only for new designs where full OTP flexibility is needed and NXP FlexGUI toolchain is available. |
| MC33FS8502Y3KS | ASIL-D capable variant with additional safety mechanisms (lockstep cores, memory ECC, enhanced diagnostics); identical pinout and basic regulator architecture. | Required for ASIL-D safety-critical functions (e.g., ADAS domain controllers); higher BOM cost and qualification overhead vs. ASIL-B FS5502. | Choose FS8502 only when ISO 26262 ASIL-D compliance is mandated; otherwise FS5502Y3KS offers optimal cost/performance for radio/radar. |
Compared with MC33FS5502Y0KS, the Y3KS variant ships with pre-programmed OTP settings enabling immediate evaluation and reduced time-to-test; compared with MC33FS8502Y3KS, it omits ASIL-D safety hardware but retains identical power architecture, footprint, and feature set for non-safety-critical infotainment and V2X applications.

FAQ
What is the function of the PSYNC pin on the MC33FS5502Y3KS?
The PSYNC pin on the MC33FS5502Y3KS enables hardware-synchronized power-up and power-down sequencing between multiple PMICs. When pulled up to VBOS, it allows the MC33FS5502Y3KS to pause its OTP-defined power sequence (e.g., before or after VPRE activation) and wait for an external signal - such as from an FS85 or another FS5502 - before proceeding. This eliminates simultaneous inrush currents and improves system-level EMC performance.
How does the MC33FS5502Y3KS support fail-safe operation without MCU involvement?
The MC33FS5502Y3KS incorporates a dedicated fail-safe state machine that independently monitors VBOS, VPRE, VSUP, and VCOREMON voltages. If any monitored rail violates its UV/OV threshold, the fail-safe logic asserts RSTB and PGOOD outputs within microseconds - regardless of MCU status or I²C activity. This autonomous response ensures deterministic reset behavior during critical power faults, meeting ASIL-B requirements.
Can the MC33FS5502Y3KS be used in both 12 V and 24 V automotive systems?
Yes, the MC33FS5502Y3KS supports input voltages up to 60 V DC and is explicitly qualified for both 12 V and 24 V automotive battery architectures. Reverse-battery protection diodes must be placed in series with VSUP1 and VSUP2 inputs per the datasheet. Its wide input range and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating make it suitable for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and off-road equipment.
What is the purpose of the BUCK3_INQ pin on the MC33FS5502Y3KS?
The BUCK3_INQ (BUCK3 Quiet Input) pin on the MC33FS5502Y3KS provides a separate, low-noise input path for the BUCK3 converter, decoupled from the main BUCK3_IN supply. This isolation minimizes switching noise coupling into sensitive RF loads - such as radar MMICs or radio tuners - improving signal integrity and reducing spurious emissions in high-frequency applications.
Is the MC33FS5502Y3KS pin-compatible with other devices in the FS5502/FS84/FS85 family?
Yes, the MC33FS5502Y3KS is pin-to-pin and software-compatible with the FS84 (ASIL-B) and FS85 (ASIL-D) families per the official NXP documentation. This enables scalable design reuse: the same PCB layout and firmware can be adapted across safety levels by swapping the PMIC, provided OTP configurations and safety mechanisms are updated accordingly.
