Product details
Overview
MCZ33742EGR2 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an automotive-grade System Basis Chip integrating a 1.0 Mbps high-speed CAN transceiver, dual 5.0 V regulators (one internal LDO, one external PNP-driven), high-side switch output (150 mA current-limited), SPI interface (up to 4 MHz), programmable watchdog, and four wake-up inputs. It serves as the central power management and communication interface in automotive ECUs requiring robust bus diagnostics and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the MCZ33742EGR2 datasheet, MCZ33742EGR2 pinout, MCZ33742EGR2 application, or MCZ33742EGR2 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions per 28-pin SOICW package, real-world automotive use cases, and two validated alternative SBCs with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MCZ33742EGR2 implements a multi-mode state machine (Normal, Standby, Stop, Sleep) with configurable wake-up sources (L0–L3, CAN, cyclic sense), internal oscillator (100 kHz), and SPI-controlled register set for mode transitions, reset thresholds, and watchdog periods. Its CAN physical layer complies with ISO 11898-2 and supports bus diagnostic features including CANH/CANL voltage threshold monitoring and dominant/recessive state detection.
Power architecture includes a primary 5.0 V/200 mA LDO regulator (VDD) with dropout ≤0.5 V at 200 mA, overtemperature prewarning (125 °C), thermal shutdown (160 °C), and a secondary V2 regulator path driven via V2CTRL/V2 pins for external PNP pass transistor implementation. The HS driver provides 150 mA sink capability with RDS(ON) ≤3.5 Ω at 125 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CAN Data Rate | 1.0 Mbps - Full-speed operation compliant with CAN 2.0B, enabling real-time intermodule communication in modern automotive networks. |
| VDD Regulator Output | 5.0 V ±50 mV (at 200 mA) - Stable MCU supply with line/load regulation ≤25 mV, supporting microcontrollers requiring tight voltage tolerance. |
| SPI Clock Frequency | Up to 4.0 MHz - Enables fast configuration and status polling without CPU overhead in resource-constrained ECU designs. |
| Supply Current (Sleep Mode) | 55–140 µA - Ultra-low quiescent current enables extended battery-off operation while maintaining CAN wake-up capability. |
| HS Output Current Limit | 150 mA - Internally limited high-side switch suitable for driving small solenoids, relays, or LED clusters without external current sensing. |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C ambient - Qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±4000 V on HS/Lx/CAN pins - Robust protection against human-body discharge during assembly and service handling. |
Pinout & Package
MCZ33742EGR2 is packaged in a 28-pin SOICW (wide-body) with Pb-free (EG suffix) finish, footprint code 98ASB42345B, thermal resistance RθJG = 20 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RXD / TXD | CAN Bus Interface | RXD outputs decoded CAN data to MCU; TXD accepts MCU transmit signals - forms full-duplex physical layer link to twisted-pair CAN bus. |
| VDD | Main Regulator Output | 5.0 V regulated supply for MCU core logic; internally current-limited to 200 mA and monitored for overtemperature prewarning. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar System Basis Chip applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33816AEGR2 | Higher integration: includes LIN transceiver, enhanced watchdog (windowed), wider VSUP range (4.5–28 V), lower sleep current (30 µA). | Supports LIN+CAN dual-bus architectures; better suited for new designs requiring mixed-protocol communication and tighter power budgets. | Select MC33816AEGR2 when adding LIN functionality or requiring <50 µA sleep current; not drop-in due to different pinout and register map. |
| TLE9471-3ES | Infineon device with integrated 3.3 V/150 mA LDO, higher HS drive (250 mA), ASIL-B compliance, and embedded safety monitor. | Targeted at safety-critical applications (e.g., airbag controllers); requires additional safety qualification effort vs. MCZ33742EGR2's AEC-Q100 Grade 1. | Choose TLE9471-3ES only if ASIL-B functional safety certification is mandatory; otherwise, MCZ33742EGR2 offers proven cost/performance balance for non-safety ECU roles. |
Compared with MC33816AEGR2 and TLE9471-3ES, the MCZ33742EGR2 delivers optimal value for cost-sensitive, non-safety automotive ECUs needing reliable 1.0 Mbps CAN, dual 5.0 V regulation, and ultra-low sleep current - without over-engineering for LIN or ASIL-B requirements.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MCZ33742EGR2?
The MCZ33742EGR2 is qualified for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C and junction temperatures up to +150 °C. This rating meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for under-hood automotive applications, ensuring reliable operation in extreme thermal conditions encountered in engine compartments and transmission control units.
Does the MCZ33742EGR2 support CAN FD or only classical CAN?
The MCZ33742EGR2 supports only classical CAN 2.0B at up to 1.0 Mbps and does not implement CAN FD protocol features such as variable bit rates or extended data length. Its transceiver complies strictly with ISO 11898-2 for high-speed CAN, making it suitable for legacy and current-generation automotive networks but not for next-gen CAN FD deployments.
How does the V2 regulator function in the MCZ33742EGR2?
The MCZ33742EGR2 does not include a second integrated regulator; instead, it provides V2 (sense input) and V2CTRL (drive output) pins to control an external PNP bipolar transistor, enabling a user-configurable second 5.0 V supply. This architecture allows designers to tailor output current, thermal performance, and layout routing while retaining SBC-level supervision and fault reporting.
What is the reset pulse duration of the MCZ33742EGR2 after power-up?
The MCZ33742EGR2 asserts the RST pin low for 15 ms (typical) upon power-up, VDD undervoltage detection, or watchdog timeout. This duration is fixed and not programmable; it ensures sufficient time for MCU initialization and peripheral stabilization before release from reset.
Can the MCZ33742EGR2 be used in safety-critical applications requiring ASIL compliance?
The MCZ33742EGR2 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified but not certified to any ASIL level (e.g., ASIL-B or ASIL-D). It lacks embedded safety mechanisms such as lockstep cores or hardware error correction required for ISO 26262 compliance. For ASIL-targeted designs, consider alternatives like the TLE9471-3ES or NXP's S32K series with integrated safety monitors.
