Product details
Overview
MCZ33903D5EKR2 from NXP Semiconductors is a second-generation System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating a 5.0 V MCU power regulator, high-speed CAN transceiver (ISO 11898-2/5 compliant), and no LIN interface - configured as the single-LIN-capable "D" variant with zero LIN channels. It delivers fail-safe operation, ultra-low quiescent current in LP modes, and supports automotive ECU power management in harsh environments. Used in industrial actuator controls and lamp/inductive load systems requiring diagnostics and wake-up flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the MCZ33903D5EKR2 datasheet, MCZ33903D5EKR2 pinout, MCZ33903D5EKR2 application, or MCZ33903D5EKR2 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, and confirmed alternative parts - all aligned to Rev. 15.0 (June 2023) official NXP documentation.
Technical Context
The MCZ33903D5EKR2 implements a SMARTMOS-based power management architecture with integrated CAN physical layer, configurable wake-up inputs (I/O-0 only), and a dedicated 5.0 V VDD regulator without external PNP support. Its fail-safe state machine monitors VDD, RST, watchdog timeout, and CAN bus integrity to assert SAFE (active-low) on fault.
It operates across -40 °C to +125 °C, supports CAN baud rates from 40 kb/s to 1.0 Mb/s, and features SPI-controlled diagnostics including MUX-OUT analog monitoring of internal supply rails and cyclic sense capability during LP VDD-on mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Output | 5.0 V ±2%, fixed output - powers MCU directly; no external PNP support per datasheet note (2). |
| CAN Interface | ISO 11898-2 and -5 compliant high-speed CAN - enables robust automotive bus communication up to 1.0 Mb/s with local/bus fault diagnostics. |
| Quiescent Current (LP Mode) | <20 µA typical - enables long-term battery-powered sleep in ECUs without compromising wake-up responsiveness. |
| Wake-up Inputs | 1 dedicated I/O-0 pin - configurable as input for edge-triggered wake-up; no LIN bus wake-up (0 LIN channels). |
| Operating Temperature | -40 °C to +125 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded applications. |
| VSUP Input Range | -0.3 V to 28 V DC, -0.3 V to 40 V transient - withstands automotive load dump and cold-crank conditions. |
| SAFE Output | Open-drain active-low fault indicator - asserts on VDD undervoltage, RST pin fault, or watchdog timeout to trigger system-level fail-safe response. |
Pinout & Package
MCZ33903D5EKR2 uses a 32-pin SOIC exposed pad package (SOT1746-3), Pb-free, with thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in automotive modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSUP | Battery Supply Input | Main power rail input (–0.3 V to 28 V); internally connects to VSUP1/VSUP2 for unified supply domain. |
| VDD | MCU Power Output | 5.0 V regulated output (±2%) - powers microcontroller core; no external PNP support per datasheet. |
| CANH / CANL | CAN Bus Differential Outputs | Direct connection to ISO 11898-2/5 compliant CAN bus; includes built-in bus fault detection and protection. |
| SAFE | Fault Indicator Output | Open-drain active-low signal - asserted on critical faults (VDD UV, RST anomaly, watchdog timeout) to initiate safe shutdown. |
| I/O-0 | Configurable Wake-up Pin | Programmable as input for edge-triggered wake-up in LP mode; supports cyclic sense when paired with internal timing logic. |
| INT / RST / CS / SCLK / MOSI / MISO | SPI & Control Interface | Standard 4-wire SPI (CS, SCLK, MOSI, MISO) with active-low INT and RST outputs - enables full register access and fault reporting. |
| MUX-OUT | Analog Monitoring Output | Multiplexed analog output - selectable via SPI to monitor VDD, VSUP, or internal reference for supply health diagnostics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fail-Safe State Machine | Hardware-enforced fault response - autonomously asserts SAFE on VDD undervoltage, RST pin failure, or watchdog timeout without MCU intervention. |
| Low-Power Mode Operation | <20 µA quiescent current - extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules while retaining CAN/LIN wake-up readiness (CAN-only wake-up enabled). |
| CAN Bus Diagnostics | Local and bus-level fault detection - identifies short-to-battery, short-to-ground, open-circuit, and dominant timeout on CANH/CANL. |
| SPI-Controlled Analog Monitoring | MUX-OUT with 8 selectable internal signals - enables real-time validation of VDD, VSUP, temperature, and regulator status via MCU ADC. |
| Robust Input Protection | VSUP rated to 40 V transient - survives automotive load dump events without external TVS, reducing BOM count and layout area. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar System Basis Chip applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCZ33903D3EKR2 | 3.3 V VDD output instead of 5.0 V; identical pinout, package, and feature set. | Required when interfacing with 3.3 V MCUs - no change to CAN, wake-up, or diagnostics functionality. | Select MCZ33903D3EKR2 only if target MCU requires 3.3 V supply; otherwise, MCZ33903D5EKR2 is optimal for 5 V MCU compatibility. |
| MCZ33903DP5EKR2 | Same 5.0 V VDD, but adds 3 wake-up inputs (I/O-0, I/O-2, I/O-3) and VSENSE monitoring - no MUX-OUT or VAUX. | Suitable for multi-sensor nodes needing broader wake-up sources and battery voltage sensing, but lacks analog multiplexing. | Choose MCZ33903DP5EKR2 when additional wake-up flexibility and direct VSENSE input are prioritized over MUX-OUT diagnostics capability. |
Compared with MCZ33903D3EKR2 and MCZ33903DP5EKR2, MCZ33903D5EKR2 uniquely balances 5.0 V MCU supply, minimal wake-up complexity (single I/O-0), and full MUX-OUT analog visibility - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, functionally focused ECU designs where 5 V operation and supply health monitoring are primary requirements.

FAQ
What is the VDD output voltage of MCZ33903D5EKR2, and can it be adjusted?
The MCZ33903D5EKR2 provides a fixed 5.0 V ±2% VDD output for MCU supply. It cannot be adjusted or configured to 3.3 V - that function is implemented in the pin-compatible MCZ33903D3EKR2 variant. External PNP transistor support is explicitly disabled for this part per datasheet Note 2.
Does MCZ33903D5EKR2 include a LIN interface?
No, MCZ33903D5EKR2 is the zero-LIN variant of the 33903 family. It contains no LIN transceiver circuitry or associated pins (LIN-1, LIN-2, TXD-L1, RXD-L1, etc.). This distinguishes it from MCZ33903DS5EKR2 (single LIN) and MCZ33903DD5EKR2 (dual LIN), which share the same 32-pin SOIC package.
How many wake-up inputs does MCZ33903D5EKR2 support, and what types are they?
MCZ33903D5EKR2 supports exactly one dedicated wake-up input: I/O-0. It is configurable as an edge-sensitive input in low-power modes. Unlike variants such as MCZ33903DP5EKR2, it does not support wake-up on LIN bus activity, CAN bus, SPI message, or timer - only I/O-0 transitions and RST pin assertion.
What package type and dimensions does MCZ33903D5EKR2 use?
MCZ33903D5EKR2 uses a 32-pin SOIC exposed pad package (SOT1746-3), Pb-free, with standard SOIC footprint and thermal pad for heatsinking. Dimensions match JEDEC MS-012AC, and it is footprint-compatible with MCZ33903D3EKR2, MCZ33903DS5EKR2, and MCZ33903DP5EKR2.
Is MCZ33903D5EKR2 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, MCZ33903D5EKR2 is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 1 (-40 °C to +125 °C) operation and designed for automotive ECU use. It meets ISO 11898-2/5 for CAN, supports load dump (40 V transient), and includes fail-safe mechanisms required for functional safety compliance in ASIL-B–capable systems.
