AN5063: MC33910/11/12 Filtering Capacitor for VS1

Application note for implementing a VS1 input pin filtering capacitor on NXP MC33910/11/12 SBCs to prevent resets caused by specific falling slew rate spikes.

View application note

Overview

This application note provides technical guidance for using a filtering capacitor on the VS1 input pin of NXP MC33910, MC33911, and MC33912 System Basis Chips (SBC). It addresses a condition where the device may generate unintended resets when spikes with a falling slew rate between -0.9 V/μs and -1.4 V/μs are applied to the VS1 pin. The document outlines how to adjust the Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) of the filtering capacitor (C1) to ensure the application is protected from these reset conditions by maintaining slew rates outside the sensitive range.

Use Cases

  • Automotive electronics design
  • LIN protocol communication systems
  • MCU-based system power management
  • Voltage spike filtering and protection
  • System reset prevention in SBC applications
