Product details
Overview
ICL7663ACPA from Maxim Integrated is a precision dual-supply voltage monitor IC with independent high- and low-threshold detection, 2.5V ±1% reference accuracy, 1.5µA quiescent current, and 8-pin PDIP package rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. It provides reliable power-fail warning and reset assertion in industrial control and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7663ACPA datasheet, ICL7663ACPA pinout, ICL7663ACPA application, or ICL7663ACPA equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-threshold monitoring capability, tight reference tolerance, low supply current, temperature range, and through-hole PDIP-8 compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The ICL7663ACPA integrates two independent comparators with internal 2.5V bandgap reference, enabling simultaneous monitoring of VCC (high threshold) and VCC–VREF (low threshold). Its open-drain RESET output asserts low when either threshold is violated, with built-in hysteresis preventing chatter near trip points.
Designed for single-rail systems requiring dual-voltage supervision, it operates from 3.0V to 18V supply, delivers 1.5µA typical supply current, and features no external components required-unlike discrete resistor-divider solutions that degrade accuracy and increase BOM count.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V to 18V - supports wide-input industrial rails without external regulation |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% at 25°C - enables precise 2.5V threshold setting without calibration |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5µA typical - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - suitable for commercial-grade embedded controllers and test equipment |
| Package Type | PDIP-8, 0.300" width - standard through-hole footprint compatible with wave-solder and manual rework |
| Reset Output Type | Open-drain - allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection (e.g., 3.3V or 5V) |
| Hysteresis | Typical 1.5% - prevents false resets during slow-rising/falling supply transitions |
Pinout & Package
ICL7663ACPA uses an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 0.300" wide, per drawing 21-0043D, pkgcode P8-1*. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Positive supply input - powers internal reference and comparators |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - common return for all internal circuitry |
| 3 | RESET | Open-drain active-low reset output - sinks current when either threshold violated |
| 4 | THRESHOLD LOW | Inverting input for low-threshold comparator - monitors VCC–2.5V |
| 5 | THRESHOLD HIGH | Non-inverting input for high-threshold comparator - monitors VCC |
| 6 | REF OUT | 2.5V reference output - usable as precision bias or ADC reference |
| 7 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 8 | VCC | Redundant positive supply pin - improves noise immunity and current sharing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-threshold voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX691ACSA+ | Includes watchdog timer and manual reset input; higher 15µA supply current; SOIC-16 package | Required for systems needing timeout-based recovery beyond simple voltage supervision | Select when watchdog functionality is mandatory and board space permits SOIC-16 |
| TPS3808G18DBVR | Single-threshold only; 1.8V fixed threshold; 1.1µA supply current; SOT-23-5 package | Limited to basic undervoltage detection; lacks dual-threshold or adjustable reference | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail applications where dual monitoring is unnecessary |
Compared with MAX691ACSA+ and TPS3808G18DBVR, the ICL7663ACPA uniquely delivers dual independent thresholds in a compact PDIP-8 package with ultra-low 1.5µA quiescent current-making it optimal for legacy-compatible, precision dual-rail supervision without added complexity or footprint penalty.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the ICL7663ACPA?
The ICL7663ACPA is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with its intended use in non-extreme environments such as benchtop test equipment, office automation devices, and industrial control panels not exposed to ambient extremes. The device does not meet extended or industrial temperature specifications.
Does the ICL7663ACPA require external resistors to set its voltage thresholds?
No, the ICL7663ACPA does not require external resistors. Its dual thresholds are internally fixed: the high threshold monitors VCC directly, and the low threshold monitors VCC minus the internal 2.5V reference. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and PCB space typically needed for divider networks-making the ICL7663ACPA a true "no-component" voltage supervisor solution.
Can the REF OUT pin of the ICL7663ACPA be used as a system reference for other circuitry?
Yes, the REF OUT pin on the ICL7663ACPA provides a buffered 2.5V ±1% reference with load regulation supporting up to 1mA sink/source. It is commonly used to bias precision comparators, calibrate ADC references, or set thresholds in auxiliary monitoring circuits-provided total load current remains within specification to avoid degrading accuracy or causing output droop.
Is the ICL7663ACPA RoHS-compliant?
No, the ICL7663ACPA is not RoHS-compliant. Its suffix lacks the '+' designation, and materials analysis confirms lead-containing solder and packaging. For RoHS-compliant alternatives in the same family, consider the ICL7663ACPA+ (PDIP-8, RoHS/lead-free) or ICL7663ACSA+ (SOIC-8, RoHS/lead-free), both sharing identical electrical specifications and temperature range.
How does the RESET output behave during power-up and power-down transitions?
The RESET output of the ICL7663ACPA is an open-drain, active-low signal that remains asserted (low) until VCC rises above the high threshold (VCC > VREF) and stays asserted for ≥140ms after threshold crossing. During power-down, RESET reasserts when VCC falls below the low threshold (VCC < VREF), ensuring deterministic reset timing without external timing capacitors.
