Rev. 3 — 29 July 2022
Product short data sheet
1 Product profile
1.1 General description
The MC33665A is a general-purpose battery management communication gateway
and transport protocol link (TPL) transceiver. The device forwards messages upcoming
from different TPL (isolated daisy chain protocol of NXP) ports through a standard
communication protocol. The standard communication protocol ensures compatibility with
microcontrollers available in the market. The MC33665A is designed as a gateway for
serial peripheral interface (SPI), CAN (FD) or universal asynchronous receiver transmitter
(UART) to TPL.
In the SPI or UART variant, the device communicates directly to the MCU by using SPI
or UART. The MC33665A transfers messages between MCU and battery management
system (BMS) devices connected to integrated TPL ports.
In the CAN FD variant, the MC33665A can be communicated with controller area
network (CAN) and CAN FD to send and receive messages to BMS devices connected
on TPL ports. The device powers an external CAN transceiver to be a part of a CAN bus.
The MC33665A provides four TPL ports to communicate with other isolated BMS
devices in the daisy chain. Each daisy chain port supports capacitive and inductive
isolated communication, based on device capabilities use NXP battery cell controllers
like MC33771C, MC33772C, and MC33775A. The MC33665A was developed following
AEC‑Q100 grade 1, automotive quality management (QM) device. The MC33665A is
suitable to be used in safety critical applications up to ASIL D level.
