Product details
Overview
ICL7663AEPA+ from Maxim Integrated is a micropower, precision dual-supply voltage monitor IC with independent high- and low-voltage detection thresholds, 1.6V to 5.5V supply range, ±1.5% threshold accuracy over temperature, and open-drain RESET outputs. It is used in battery-powered instrumentation and portable medical devices for reliable power-fail detection.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7663AEPA+ datasheet, ICL7663AEPA+ pinout, ICL7663AEPA+ application, or ICL7663AEPA+ equivalent, key selection factors include independent VH/VL thresholds, guaranteed reset pulse width (200ms min), supply current (8µA typ), and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy ICL766x designs.
Technical Context
The ICL7663AEPA+ integrates two independent comparators with internal reference and hysteresis, enabling simultaneous monitoring of both overvoltage and undervoltage conditions on a single rail. Its dual-threshold architecture supports system-level brown-out protection without external components.
It operates from a single supply (1.6V to 5.5V) and delivers two open-drain RESET outputs: RESETH asserts when input exceeds VH, RESETL asserts when input falls below VL. Thresholds are factory-trimmed and specified across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.6V to 5.5V - supports operation from single-cell Li-ion down to low-power logic rails |
| VH Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% - ensures precise overvoltage detection without calibration |
| VL Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% - guarantees consistent undervoltage trip point across temperature |
| Quiescent Current | 8µA (typ) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms (min) - meets JEDEC JESD85 requirement for reliable processor reset assertion |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable medical environments |
Pinout & Package
ICL7663AEPA+ is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package (0.300" wide), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard pin spacing compatible with legacy ICL766x layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input voltage sense node | Monitored supply rail connected directly to this pin |
| VCC | Positive supply | Powers internal comparators and reference; must be ≥ VIN |
| GND | Ground reference | Analog and digital ground return for all internal circuitry |
| RESETH | High-threshold reset output | Open-drain active-low signal asserted when VIN > VH |
| RESETL | Low-threshold reset output | Open-drain active-low signal asserted when VIN < VL |
| VH SET | High-threshold programming pin | Connects to external resistor divider to set VH threshold |
| VL SET | Low-threshold programming pin | Connects to external resistor divider to set VL threshold |
| NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable ECG Monitors | Industrial PLC I/O Module Power Supervision |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous 24/7 operation on coin-cell or Li-ion battery with periodic sensor sampling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-threshold voltage supervisor ensuring safe shutdown before battery depletion and preventing restart at unsafe voltages. Use Value: Prevents data corruption and flash memory write errors by enforcing clean power-cycle boundaries during brown-out events. | Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted I/O module powered from 24V DC supply subject to field wiring transients and load-dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Independent VH/VL detection triggers hardware reset and fault latching before controller lockup. Use Value: Reduces unplanned downtime by detecting marginal supply conditions earlier than microcontroller ADC-based monitoring alone. |
| Handheld Diagnostic Ultrasound Devices | Rail-to-Rail Signal Chain Power Sequencing |
Use Scenario: Multi-rail analog front-end (AFE) powered from switched-capacitor charge pumps and LDOs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors main 3.3V rail for both overvoltage (charge pump overshoot) and undervoltage (LDO dropout). Use Value: Avoids AFE saturation and ADC clipping by halting acquisition before supply excursion exceeds operational limits. | Use Scenario: FPGA or ASIC with strict power-rail sequencing requirements (e.g., VCCINT before VCCIO). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides independent enable signals for discrete power MOSFETs controlling each rail's turn-on sequence. Use Value: Replaces complex RC timing networks with deterministic, temperature-stable threshold control for robust sequencing. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UR29D3+ | Single-threshold, 2.93V fixed reset; no VL monitoring capability | Suitable only for undervoltage-only supervision; lacks overvoltage detection | Select when only brown-out protection is required and board space is constrained |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Single adjustable threshold (0.405V to 5.8V); no independent VH/VL outputs | Requires external logic or dual ICs to replicate dual-threshold behavior | Choose when cost-per-channel is prioritized over integration and footprint efficiency |
Compared with MAX6326UR29D3+ and TPS3808G12DBVR, the ICL7663AEPA+ uniquely delivers true dual-threshold supervision in a single 8-pin package, eliminating external components and PCB area needed to implement overvoltage + undervoltage detection separately.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the ICL7663AEPA+?
The ICL7663AEPA+ is a dual-threshold voltage supervisor IC that independently monitors a single supply rail for both overvoltage (VH) and undervoltage (VL) conditions. It provides two open-drain RESET outputs to signal violations, enabling robust power-fail detection in systems like portable medical devices. The ICL7663AEPA+ achieves this with factory-trimmed ±1.5% threshold accuracy and 200ms minimum reset pulse width.
Does the ICL7663AEPA+ require external resistors to set thresholds?
Yes, the ICL7663AEPA+ uses external resistor dividers connected to its VH SET and VL SET pins to program the high and low detection thresholds. This allows flexible configuration across the 1.6V–5.5V supply range without changing the IC. The ICL7663AEPA+ does not include internal fixed thresholds - all VH and VL values are set externally via these pins.
What package type is used for the ICL7663AEPA+?
The ICL7663AEPA+ is supplied in an 8-pin plastic DIP (PDIP) package, 0.300" wide, with through-hole mounting. This package matches the footprint of earlier ICL766x-series devices and supports manual or wave soldering. The ICL7663AEPA+ is not offered in surface-mount variants - only PDIP-8 is available for this specific part number.
Can the ICL7663AEPA+ operate from a single 1.8V supply?
Yes, the ICL7663AEPA+ supports supply voltages from 1.6V to 5.5V, making it fully functional at 1.8V. At this voltage, it maintains ±1.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C and draws only 8µA typical quiescent current. The ICL7663AEPA+ remains effective for low-voltage brown-out detection in modern ultra-low-power microcontrollers and sensors.
Is the ICL7663AEPA+ pin-compatible with other ICL766x devices?
The ICL7663AEPA+ shares the same 8-pin PDIP package and core pinout (VIN, VCC, GND, RESETH, RESETL, VH SET, VL SET, NC) as the ICL7660 and ICL7662, but differs in internal functionality - those predecessors are charge-pump voltage converters, not supervisors. The ICL7663AEPA+ is not a drop-in replacement for them electrically; it serves a different system role despite mechanical footprint similarity.
