Hello Ulli,
The MC33771C is a successor of the MC33771B. The MC33771C offers an averaging functionality and improved communication. Other functions are not changed. The MC33771C is pin and package compatible to the MC33771B.
MC33771C improvements:
- Averaging of up to 256 samples possible
- Potential reduction in the diagnostic filtering time from 25 to 6 ms
- Inductive and capacitive coupling support (current transformers & current external components)
- Improved communication protocol
- Up to 63 nodes are supported in one daisy chain
- Supports 20 m cable length between two nodes with transformer isolation
- Loopback support for one daisy chain
If you need more information about the differences between these devices, please submit a new case as it is confidential information.
I hope this information helps.
Regards,
David
