Product details
Overview
MC33HB2000AES from NXP Semiconductors is a SMARTMOS monolithic H-bridge power IC with SPI programmability, designed for brushed DC motor control in automotive applications. It delivers 10 A peak output current, supports 5.0–28 V VPWR operation, features <5.0 % error current mirror feedback (CFB), and achieves 0.39 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance via its exposed-pad HVQFN package.
For engineers reviewing the MC33HB2000AES datasheet, MC33HB2000AES pinout, MC33HB2000AES application, or MC33HB2000AES equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal performance metrics for 28-pin HVQFN, and real-world diagnostic and control capabilities aligned with ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements.
Technical Context
The MC33HB2000AES implements a full H-bridge topology using four integrated N-channel MOSFETs with RDS(on) ≤ 235 mΩ at TJ = 150 °C. Its SPI interface enables dynamic configuration of eight slew rates (0.25–16 V/μs) and four current limits (5.4/7.0/8.8/10.7 A), directly affecting EMI behavior and thermal dissipation during PWM-driven motor commutation.
Diagnostic architecture includes per-output short-to-ground/VPWR detection, open-load sensing, overtemperature warning and shutdown, charge pump undervoltage monitoring, and VPWR over/undervoltage reporting-all accessible via 16-bit SPI fault register reads. The CFB pin provides real-time analog current feedback at 0.25 % of load current with ≤5.0 % gain error across 2–10 A.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the MC33HB2000AES?
The MC33HB2000AES has a nominal continuous average load current rating of 3.0 A. This value defines the thermal design baseline for sustained operation under typical ambient conditions and PCB layout assumptions. Peak current capability remains at 16 A for transients under 5 ms, enabling robust handling of motor startup surges and stall events without triggering current-limit protection.
How does the CFB pin on the MC33HB2000AES provide current feedback?
The CFB pin on the MC33HB2000AES delivers a ground-referenced analog signal equal to 0.25 % of the high-side output current (e.g., 2.5 mA at 1 A load). With ≤5.0 % gain error across 2–10 A, it enables accurate closed-loop current regulation. An external resistor converts CFB current to voltage for MCU ADC sampling; a capacitor filters high-frequency noise without degrading bandwidth.
Can the MC33HB2000AES operate without an SPI interface?
Yes, the MC33HB2000AES can operate without SPI: it defaults to a 2.0 V/μs slew rate and 7.0 A current limit threshold. All parallel control inputs (ENBL, DIS, IN1, IN2) remain fully functional. SPI is optional for advanced configuration-diagnostics, fine-grained current limiting, and slew rate tuning-but not required for basic H-bridge operation or fault reporting via FS_B.
What thermal resistance values apply to the MC33HB2000AES package?
The MC33HB2000AES (28-pin HVQFN) has documented thermal resistances including RΘJCBOTTOM = 0.39 °C/W (junction-to-case bottom), RΘJB = 11.3 °C/W (junction-to-board), and RΘJA = 31.3 °C/W on a 4-layer board. These values are measured per JEDEC JESD51 standards and confirm superior thermal coupling to the PCB compared to SOICW and PQFN variants of the same family.
Which automotive safety standards does the MC33HB2000AES support?
The MC33HB2000AES is designed to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level safety goals. It achieves this through integrated diagnostics-including per-output short-circuit detection, open-load sensing, overtemperature warning/shutdown, and VPWR monitoring-as well as AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient) and robust EMC behavior enabled by SPI-configurable slew rates.
