Product details
Overview
MCZ33880EGR2 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a configurable octal high-side/low-side power switch IC with 8-bit SPI control and dual PWM-direct inputs (IN5, IN6). It delivers RDS(ON) ≤ 0.55 Ω at 25°C, supports 0.8–2.0 A current limiting per output, and features ±45 V / −20 V output clamping for inductive load protection. It is used in automotive body control modules to drive lamps, solenoids, and relays.
For engineers reviewing the MCZ33880EGR2 datasheet, MCZ33880EGR2 pinout, MCZ33880EGR2 application, or MCZ33880EGR2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its hardware-configurable high-/low-side topology, cascaded fault reporting via DO, thermal ground pins (TGND) on SOICW-32, and compatibility with 3.3 V/5.0 V SPI interfaces in harsh automotive environments.
Technical Context
The MCZ33880EGR2 integrates SMARTMOS™ 5 technology-combining CMOS logic, bipolar/MOS analog circuitry, and double-diffused DMOS power transistors-to achieve low standby current (≤5.0 μA at 13 V, 95 °C) and robust fault management. Its internal charge pump enables gate drive without external components, while independent overtemperature shutdown (TLIM = 155–185 °C) and open-load detection (IOCO = 0.3–1.0 mA) operate per-output.
It implements an 8-bit SPI interface with CS/SCLK/DI/DO timing compliant up to 6.0 MHz, supports daisy-chained fault reporting, and allows direct PWM control of outputs 5 and 6 via OR-gated IN5/IN6 pins-enabling real-time dimming or motor control without SPI overhead. All eight outputs are individually configurable as high-side or low-side switches.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range (VPWR) | 5.5 V to 24.5 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| RDS(ON) (25°C) | 0.55 Ω typical - enables <1.4 W conduction loss at 2 A, reducing thermal stress in compact PCB layouts. |
| Output Current Limit | 0.8 A to 2.0 A - programmable per-output via external resistor; protects incandescent lamps and inductive coils. |
| Output Clamp Voltage | +45 V (low-side), −20 V (high-side) - suppresses inductive kickback without external TVS diodes. |
| Standby Current (IPWR) | 5.0 μA max at 13 V, 95 °C - meets automotive "always-on" module quiescent current requirements. |
| SPI Compatibility | 3.3 V / 5.0 V logic - interoperates with legacy 5 V MCUs and modern 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Thermal Protection | Independent per-output overtemperature shutdown - prevents latch-up during sustained overload or ambient rise. |
| Package | 32-pin SOICW (Case 1324-02) with four thermal ground pins (pins 8, 9, 24, 25) - improves heat dissipation by 40% vs. 28-pin variant. |
Pinout & Package
MCZ33880EGR2 uses a 32-pin SOICW (wide-body) package (Case 1324-02) with integrated thermal ground leads (TGND) on pins 8, 9, 24, and 25-designed for direct connection to PCB ground plane to enhance thermal performance in automotive under-hood applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Digital reference ground | Reference for logic circuitry; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling into SPI interface. |
| VDD (Pin 2) | Logic supply input | 5.0 V ±5%; removal disables charge pump and forces sleep mode (IPWR ≤ 5 μA). |
| S1–S8 (Pins 3–4, 10, 13, 18, 23, 27, 29–30) | Source terminals for MOSFET outputs | Connected to load (high-side) or GND (low-side); configuration determines driver topology per channel. |
| D1–D8 (Pins 5, 7, 11, 19, 22, 26, 28, 32) | Drain terminals for MOSFET outputs | Connected to VPWR (high-side) or load return (low-side); clamped to +45 V or −20 V during switching transients. |
| IN5 / IN6 (Pins 14, 17) | PWM direct control inputs | OR-gated with SPI bits; enable real-time pulse-width modulation of outputs 5 and 6 without SPI transaction latency. |
| EN (Pin 15) | Charge pump enable | Must be high to activate drivers and fault detection; tied to VDD if PWM override not required. |
| CS / SCLK / DI / DO (Pins 16, 18, 19, 32) | SPI interface signals | Full-duplex 8-bit serial interface; DO reports per-output fault status synchronously with command write. |
| VPWR (Pin 31) | Main power supply | 5.5–24.5 V input with internal reverse-battery protection; powers all output stages and clamp circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware-configurable high-/low-side topology | Each of 8 outputs independently wired as source (high-side) or drain (low-side) - eliminates need for external routing or discrete driver selection. |
| Cascadable fault reporting | Single DO line reports faults across multiple daisy-chained MCZ33880EGR2 devices - reduces MCU GPIO count and simplifies diagnostic firmware. |
| Thermal ground pins (TGND) | Pins 8, 9, 24, 25 internally connected to die substrate - lowers RθJL to 18 °C/W, enabling 1.7 W power dissipation at TA = 25 °C. |
| Independent per-output diagnostics | Open-load detect (0.3–1.0 mA), short-circuit limit, and overtemperature shutdown operate per channel - isolates faults without disabling entire device. |
| Internal reverse-battery protection | VPWR pin withstands −16 V - eliminates need for external series diode or protection IC in 12 V automotive systems. |
| Low-impedance paralleling support | All 8 outputs share positive RDS(ON) tempco - enables safe current sharing when paralleled for >2 A loads without external ballast resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal high-/low-side switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC33883 | Higher RDS(ON) (0.75 Ω typ), no IN5/IN6 PWM inputs, 28-pin SOICW only | Lacks direct PWM control and thermal ground pins; suited for cost-sensitive non-PWM applications | Select MC33883 only if PWM capability and enhanced thermal performance are unnecessary. |
| TPS27081A | Single-channel, 1.2 A, no SPI interface, no fault reporting, 8-pin SOIC | Requires 8x units + MCU GPIOs for same functionality; no diagnostics or daisy-chain capability | Choose TPS27081A only for ultra-low-cost, low-channel-count designs where diagnostics are handled externally. |
Compared with MC33883 and TPS27081A, MCZ33880EGR2 uniquely combines per-output configurability, integrated PWM override, cascaded fault reporting, and thermal-enhanced packaging-making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-aware automotive and industrial power distribution.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for MCZ33880EGR2?
The MCZ33880EGR2 has a maximum operating junction temperature of 150 °C, with overtemperature shutdown triggering between 155 °C and 185 °C. This ensures reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments where case temperatures reach 125 °C, and the thermal ground pins (TGND) help maintain safe junction limits under full-load conditions.
Does MCZ33880EGR2 support both high-side and low-side configurations simultaneously?
Yes, MCZ33880EGR2 supports simultaneous high-side and low-side configurations: each of the eight outputs can be independently wired as either high-side (source to load, drain to VPWR) or low-side (drain to load, source to GND). This flexibility allows mixed-load systems-such as headlamps (high-side) and turn signals (low-side)-to be driven from a single IC without external reconfiguration.
How does the fault reporting work on MCZ33880EGR2?
MCZ33880EGR2 reports faults via the DO pin during SPI transactions: as each command bit is clocked in on DI, the corresponding output's fault status (open load, short circuit, or overtemperature) is shifted out on DO. A logic [1] indicates fault; logic [0] indicates normal operation. Faults are latched until cleared by reprogramming the output, enabling deterministic diagnostic polling in safety-critical systems.
Can MCZ33880EGR2 be used in daisy-chain SPI configurations?
Yes, MCZ33880EGR2 supports daisy-chain SPI operation: the DO pin of one device connects to the DI pin of the next, with shared SCLK and CS lines. During each CS assertion, fault status from all chained devices shifts out sequentially-reducing MCU pin count and simplifying firmware for multi-switch systems like vehicle lighting zones or modular I/O racks.
What is the purpose of the TGND pins on MCZ33880EGR2?
The TGND pins (8, 9, 24, 25) on MCZ33880EGR2 are internal thermal ground connections to the die substrate. When soldered to a large PCB ground plane, they reduce thermal resistance from junction to thermal ground (RθJL = 18 °C/W), improving power dissipation capability by ~40% over the 28-pin variant-critical for sustained 2 A loads in confined automotive enclosures.
