Product details
Overview
MCZ33905BS3EKR2 from NXP (formerly Freescale) is a second-generation System Basis Chip (SBC) integrating high-speed CAN, single LIN 2.1/J2602-2 transceiver, 3.3 V/150 mA MCU regulator, internal 5 V CAN supply, and fail-safe state machine for automotive body and safety modules. It supports ultra-low-power sleep mode (15 µA), cranking pulse management, and configurable wake-up I/Os in SOIC-32 EP package.
For engineers reviewing the MCZ33905BS3EKR2 datasheet, MCZ33905BS3EKR2 pinout, MCZ33905BS3EKR2 application, or MCZ33905BS3EKR2 equivalent, key selection criteria include LIN count, VDD output voltage, wake-up I/O flexibility, CAN/LIN compliance (ISO 11898-2/5, J2602-2), and functional safety features like SAFE pin-linked state machine and secured SPI with watchdog.
Technical Context
The MCZ33905BS3EKR2 implements a hardware-configurable fail-safe state machine tied to the SAFE pin, enabling programmable degraded-mode behavior during faults. Its CAN physical layer complies with ISO 11898-2 and -5, supporting data rates from 40 kB/s to 1 MB/s with bus failure diagnostics and local protection.
It integrates a 3.3 V linear regulator (VDD) rated for 150 mA (scalable to 300 mA with external PNP), a 5 V auxiliary regulator (VAUX), and a dedicated 5 V CAN regulator (VCAN). Analog monitoring includes VSENSE, MUX-OUT, and VSUP sensing with high-precision threshold detection for cranking events.

Use Value: Cranking pulse management maintains LIN communication and basic wiper operation at VSUP down to 5.5 V-avoiding external hold-up capacitors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar System Basis Chip applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCZ33905CS3EKR2 | 5.0 V VDD output instead of 3.3 V; otherwise identical pinout, features, and package | Required when MCU or connected peripherals demand 5.0 V logic supply | Select MCZ33905CS3EKR2 only if target MCU requires 5.0 V VDD; verify compatibility with downstream 3.3 V peripherals. |
| MCZ33904B3EKR2 | No LIN interface; retains CAN, 3.3 V VDD, 4 wake-up I/Os, VAUX, VSENSE, and MUX | Suitable for CAN-only modules where LIN is not needed (e.g., simple sensor hubs) | Choose MCZ33904B3EKR2 to reduce cost and complexity when LIN functionality is unnecessary and four wake-up inputs are required. |
Compared with MCZ33905BS3EKR2, MCZ33905CS3EKR2 offers identical functionality at 5.0 V VDD-ideal for legacy 5 V MCUs-while MCZ33904B3EKR2 removes LIN but adds one more wake-up I/O, simplifying design where LIN is unused and lower system cost is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the VDD regulator in MCZ33905BS3EKR2?
The MCZ33905BS3EKR2 provides a fixed 3.3 V VDD output rated for 150 mA continuous internal supply. With an optional external PNP ballast transistor, total VDD current can scale to 300 mA-supporting higher-power MCUs or additional integrated circuits without external regulators. This scalability is confirmed in the MC33905 family datasheet Rev. 6.0.
Does MCZ33905BS3EKR2 support both LIN 2.1 and SAE J2602-2 standards?
Yes, MCZ33905BS3EKR2's single LIN interface is fully compliant with both LIN 2.1 and SAE J2602-2 specifications, including data rates from 10.4 kB/s to 20 kB/s (100 kB/s in fast mode), bus fault protection, and slave node synchronization. This dual compliance is verified in Freescale's conformance reports and referenced in the MC33903_4_5FS datasheet.
How many wake-up inputs does MCZ33905BS3EKR2 support, and can they be reconfigured?
MCZ33905BS3EKR2 supports up to three dedicated wake-up inputs (I/O-0 to I/O-2), with I/O-3 configurable as either a fourth wake-up input or a LIN master termination. This flexibility-documented in the "I/O Wake-up Capability" table-is implemented via hardware strapping and enables adaptation to varying ECU sensor counts without PCB redesign.
What functional safety features are implemented in MCZ33905BS3EKR2?
MCZ33905BS3EKR2 includes a hardware-based fail-safe state machine linked to the SAFE pin, secured SPI with parity checking, advanced watchdog (time-out and window modes), and cranking pulse management that sustains critical functions during low-battery events. These features support ASIL-B decomposition in system-level safety architectures per ISO 26262.
Is MCZ33905BS3EKR2 pin-compatible with other members of the MC33905 family?
Yes, MCZ33905BS3EKR2 shares the same 32-pin SOIC-EP package and pinout with MCZ33905CS3EKR2, MCZ33905BS5EKR2, and MCZ33905CS5EKR2-enabling voltage- and feature-swappable designs. However, it is not pin-compatible with MC33905D variants (54-pin) or MC33904/3 families due to differing I/O counts and feature sets.
