Product details
Overview
MC34905CS5EK from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating a 5.0 V MCU power regulator, ISO 11898-2/5 high-speed CAN transceiver, one LIN 2.1 interface, four configurable wake-up/I/O pins, and SPI-based diagnostics. It operates across -40°C to +125°C and targets automotive ECU power management with fail-safe state machine control.
For engineers reviewing the MC34905CS5EK datasheet, MC34905CS5EK pinout, MC34905CS5EK application, or MC34905CS5EK equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, LP-mode current values, CAN/LIN interface compatibility, wake-up source configuration, and package-level thermal resistance - all confirmed for the exact MC34905CS5EK/R2 variant.
Technical Context
The MC34905CS5EK implements a SMARTMOS-based power management architecture with dual supply inputs (VSUP1/VSUP2), enabling independent regulation of VDD (5.0 V), 5V-CAN, and VAUX rails. Its fail-safe state machine monitors VDD undervoltage, overcurrent, watchdog timeout, and RST pin integrity to assert the open-drain SAFE output.
It supports ISO 11898-5 CAN bus operation from 40 kb/s to 1.0 Mb/s with local/bus fault diagnostics and includes LIN 2.1 master capability via RXD-L/TXD-L pins and LIN-T/I/O-2 termination switching. Wake-up sources include CAN/LIN activity, I/O transitions, SPI messages, and VDD overcurrent detection - all functional in Low-Power (LP) modes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar System Basis Chip applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33905CDLR2 | Same 32-pin SOIC package; 5.0 V VDD; single LIN 2.1; but lacks VAUX regulator and MUX-OUT analog monitoring | Lower integration: no auxiliary rail or analog multiplexer; suitable where only core CAN+LIN+VDD required | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for VAUX or diagnostic monitoring capability |
| TC358749XBG | Higher integration: adds USB 2.0, SDIO, and video interface; different package (121-pin BGA); not pin-compatible | Targeted at infotainment gateways, not body control; requires PCB redesign and new thermal layout | Select only for next-generation telematics platforms needing multimedia interfaces beyond CAN/LIN |
Compared with MC33905CDLR2, MC34905CS5EK adds VAUX regulation and MUX-OUT for enhanced diagnostics; versus TC358749XBG, it offers direct drop-in replacement in legacy 32-pin SOIC designs without BGA rework or USB/SDIO overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum CAN baud rate supported by the MC34905CS5EK?
The MC34905CS5EK supports ISO 11898-5 high-speed CAN operation from 40 kb/s up to 1.0 Mb/s. This range covers standard automotive CAN FD and classical CAN applications. The device includes built-in bus fault diagnostics and fail-safe behavior during bus errors, ensuring reliable communication even under electrical stress. All timing parameters for 1.0 Mb/s operation are validated across -40°C to +125°C.
Does the MC34905CS5EK require an external capacitor on the 5V-CAN pin?
Yes, the MC34905CS5EK requires an external capacitor connected to the 5V-CAN pin to stabilize the embedded CAN transceiver's supply. The datasheet specifies typical decoupling values and placement guidelines to ensure electromagnetic compatibility and transient immunity. Failure to install this capacitor may result in CAN communication instability or failure during load dump events.
How many wake-up sources does the MC34905CS5EK support in Low-Power mode?
The MC34905CS5EK supports five distinct wake-up sources in Low-Power mode: CAN bus activity, LIN bus activity, transitions on any of the four I/O pins (I/O-0 to I/O-3), SPI message reception, and VDD overcurrent detection. Each source can be individually enabled or masked via SPI register configuration, allowing precise power-state control in automotive and industrial applications.
Can the MC34905CS5EK operate with a VSUP supply below 5.5 V?
Yes, the MC34905CS5EK supports extended low-voltage operation down to 4.0 V on VSUP1/VSUP2 while maintaining VDD regulation and basic functionality - though some features like CAN and I/O drivers are disabled below 5.5 V. The device remains out of reset and retains SPI accessibility, enabling controlled shutdown or cranking-mode operation in automotive start-stop systems.
What is the purpose of the MUX-OUT pin on the MC34905CS5EK?
The MUX-OUT pin on the MC34905CS5EK provides a multiplexed analog output for MCU ADC monitoring of internal signals including VDD voltage, VSENSE (battery sense), VAUX output, and internal current sense. Selection is controlled via SPI register writes, and an integrated switchable pull-down resistor enables accurate VDD current measurement. This eliminates need for external sensing circuitry in diagnostic-critical applications.
