Product details
Overview
MC33HB2000FK from NXP Semiconductors is a SMARTMOS monolithic H-bridge power IC with SPI programmability, designed for brushed DC motor control in automotive powertrain systems. It delivers 10 A peak output current, supports 5.0–28 V VPWR operation, integrates low-RDS(on) MOSFETs (235 mΩ max at 150 °C), and provides real-time analog current feedback via CFB pin with <5.0 % error - used in electronic throttle and EGR actuators.
For engineers reviewing the MC33HB2000FK datasheet, MC33HB2000FK pinout, MC33HB2000FK application, or MC33HB2000FK equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, ISO 26262 functional safety support, 32-pin PQFN exposed-pad thermal package, eight SPI-selectable slew rates (0.25–16 V/μs), and four programmable current limits (5.4/7.0/8.8/10.7 A).
Technical Context
The MC33HB2000FK implements a full H-bridge topology using four integrated N-channel MOSFETs with independent high-side/low-side switching control via IN1/IN2 logic inputs and ENBL/DIS enable/disable hierarchy. Its internal charge pump enables full enhancement of high-side FETs across the 5–28 V VPWR range, while the current mirror (CFB) delivers proportional analog feedback referenced to AGND.
SPI communication (CS_B/MOSI/MISO/SCLK) enables runtime configuration of slew rate, current limit, fault masking, and bridge mode (H-bridge/half-bridge), with daisy-chain capability. Fault reporting includes open load, short-to-ground/VPWR per output, overtemperature warning/shutdown, VPWR over/undervoltage, and charge pump undervoltage - all accessible via 16-bit status register reads.

Pinout & Package
MC33HB2000FK uses a 32-pin PQFN package with thermally enhanced exposed pad (EP), optimized for high-current motor drive and automotive thermal cycling reliability. The package footprint matches industry-standard 10 mm × 10 mm body size with 0.5 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 / OUT2 | H-bridge power outputs | Each pair drives one motor terminal; configured as half-bridge sources/sinks with independent PWM control |
| IN1 / IN2 | Digital direction control inputs | Logic-level signals (3.3/5 V compatible) that determine forward/reverse motor rotation without shoot-through risk |
| ENBL | Global enable input | Active-high signal placing device into Sleep mode (50 μA IVPWR) when low; required for safe power sequencing |
| DIS | Output disable input | Active-high signal tri-stating both outputs while retaining logic functionality - used for dynamic braking or fault recovery |
| CFB | Analog current feedback output | Ground-referenced 0.25 % of high-side current; enables real-time load monitoring with external RCFB scaling |
| FS_B | Open-drain fault status flag | Active-low output signaling any enabled fault condition; requires external pull-up to VDDQ for MCU interrupt generation |
| VPWR | Main power supply input | Must be connected to multiple pins (12,13,29,30) with low-inductance routing to minimize voltage spikes during switching |
| PGND / AGND / DGND / EP | Ground terminals | All must be tied together with low-impedance copper pour beneath exposed pad to ensure stable reference and thermal performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar H-bridge motor driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33HB2000EK | 32-pin SOICW exposed pad package; higher RΘJA (23.9 °C/W on 4-layer board vs. 21.55 °C/W for FK); same electrical specs | Better suited for prototyping or lower-power applications where thermal margin exceeds requirement and through-hole assembly is preferred | Select MC33HB2000EK only if SOICW footprint and reflow compatibility are required; avoid for high-ambient or space-constrained designs |
| MC33HB2000AES | 28-pin HVQFN package; slightly better RΘJCBOTTOM (0.39 °C/W vs. 0.61 °C/W) but higher RΘJA on single-layer board (88.5 vs. 63.4 °C/W) | Optimized for compact layouts with minimal PCB area; requires tighter layout control due to smaller pad pitch and higher thermal sensitivity | Choose MC33HB2000AES when board area is critical and thermal management uses aggressive copper pours or forced airflow |
Compared with MC33HB2000EK and MC33HB2000AES, the MC33HB2000FK offers the best balance of thermal performance (lowest RΘJA on both 1s and 2s2p boards) and manufacturability in PQFN, making it the default choice for production automotive modules requiring high reliability and repeatable thermal behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable VPWR transient voltage for the MC33HB2000FK?
The MC33HB2000FK supports a maximum VPWR transient voltage of 40 V during events such as load dump. This rating is defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies regardless of operating mode. Exceeding 40 V may cause avalanche breakdown; external clamping (e.g., Zener diode or TVS) is recommended for systems prone to transients. The MC33HB2000FK itself does not include internal transient suppression beyond this limit.
Does the MC33HB2000FK require an external charge pump capacitor?
Yes, the MC33HB2000FK requires an external 100 nF capacitor connected between CCP and VPWR pins. This reservoir capacitor is mandatory for proper operation of the internal charge pump, which biases the high-side MOSFET gates. Omitting or undersizing this capacitor will result in incomplete high-side FET turn-on, increased RDS(on), excessive heating, and potential fault triggering. The MC33HB2000FK will not function correctly without it.
How does the CFB pin on the MC33HB2000FK provide current feedback?
The CFB pin on the MC33HB2000FK outputs a ground-referenced analog signal equal to 0.25 % of the high-side output current (1/400× IOUT). It achieves <5.0 % accuracy across 2–10 A loads and operates independently of VPWR fluctuations. An external resistor (RCFB) converts this current to voltage; typical values range from 100 Ω to 1 kΩ depending on ADC input range. The MC33HB2000FK's CFB circuit includes noise filtering capability and remains functional even in high-frequency EMI environments.
Can the MC33HB2000FK operate without SPI configuration?
Yes, the MC33HB2000FK can operate without SPI: it defaults to 2.0 V/μs slew rate and 7.0 A current limit upon power-up. All basic H-bridge functions - IN1/IN2 direction control, ENBL/DIS enable/disable, and fault flag (FS_B) - remain fully operational. SPI is optional for advanced features like custom slew rate selection, current limit adjustment, fault masking, or half-bridge mode. The MC33HB2000FK maintains full functional safety compliance even in default SPI-less mode.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RΘJCBOTTOM) for the MC33HB2000FK?
The MC33HB2000FK has a junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance of 0.61 °C/W, measured per JEDEC JESD51-8. This value reflects heat transfer efficiency from the silicon die to the exposed thermal pad on the package underside. It is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load and confirms the MC33HB2000FK's suitability for high-power automotive applications where PCB copper area serves as the primary heatsink. This RΘJCBOTTOM is lower than MC33HB2000EK (0.66 °C/W) and higher than MC33HB2000AES (0.39 °C/W).
