Product details
Overview
ISL21440IRTZ-T13 from Renesas Electronics is a micropower voltage reference with integrated comparator, designed for low-voltage monitoring in battery-powered systems. It delivers a precision 1.182V ±0.5% reference, draws ≤6.5µA supply current across –40°C to +125°C, operates from 2V to 11V single or split supplies, and features user-programmable hysteresis for noise-immune threshold detection in low-battery detectors.
For engineers reviewing the ISL21440IRTZ-T13 datasheet, ISL21440IRTZ-T13 pinout, ISL21440IRTZ-T13 application, or ISL21440IRTZ-T13 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world design meaning of key specs, and two validated alternative parts for low-power voltage monitoring circuits requiring stable trip points and minimal quiescent current.
Technical Context
The ISL21440IRTZ-T13 integrates a factory-trimmed FGA voltage reference (1.182V ±0.5%) and a rail-to-rail CMOS push-pull comparator on a single die. Its dual-supply capability supports V+ (2V–11V) and V– (down to –5.5V), enabling operation with split rails or single-ended ground-referenced configurations.
Comparator inputs accept common-mode voltages from V– to (V+ – 1.5V); hysteresis is implemented via external resistor divider between REF and HYST pins, allowing programmable switching thresholds from 0mV to 50mV. Output drives TTL/CMOS loads with VOH ≥ (V+ – 0.6V) at –6mA and VOL ≤ (GND + 0.6V) at 1.8mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reference Voltage | 1.182V ±0.5% - enables accurate 2.7V low-battery detection using standard resistor dividers without calibration. |
| Supply Current | ≤6.5µA max over –40°C to +125°C - extends shelf life and runtime in coin-cell or energy-harvesting applications. |
| Supply Range | 2V to 11V single or ±1.0V to ±5.5V split - supports wide input voltage domains including Li-ion, alkaline, and industrial rails. |
| Hysteresis Range | 0mV to 50mV - suppresses false triggering from noise on battery voltage or sensor inputs in portable equipment. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial control, and extended-temperature IoT nodes. |
| Output Type | CMOS push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistors, reducing BOM count and board space in compact designs. |

Pinout & Package
ISL21440IRTZ-T13 is packaged in an 8-lead TDFN (3mm × 3mm, 0.75mm height, RoHS-compliant, L8.3x3G outline) with exposed thermal pad.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference for comparator output low level | Must be connected to system ground; defines VOL and serves as return path for reference sink current (max 10µA). |
| V– | Negative supply input for reference and comparator | Enables true bipolar operation; tie to GND for single-supply use; minimum V+–V– = 0.8V required for full input range. |
| IN+ | Comparator noninverting input | Accepts input signals from V– to (V+ – 1.5V); used for sensed voltage (e.g., battery divider output) in low-battery detection. |
| IN– | Comparator inverting input | Typically connected to REF (1.182V); sets trip threshold; high-impedance (leakage ≤1.5nA) permits megaohm-level divider networks. |
| HYST | Hysteresis control input | Accepts voltage from REF–50mV to REF; external resistor divider here configures hysteresis width without affecting reference accuracy. |
| REF | Precision reference output | Provides 1.182V ±0.5%; sources up to 2mA but sinks only 10µA - requires high-impedance loading or buffering for >10µA sink loads. |
| V+ | Positive supply input | Supplies both reference and comparator; operates from 2V to 11V; decoupling capacitor (0.1µF) recommended for loads >1mA. |
| OUT | Comparator output | CMOS push-pull; swings rail-to-rail (GND to V+); drives logic inputs directly; no external pull-up needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 6.5µA max ICC enables >10-year shelf life in CR2032-powered devices with periodic wake-up monitoring. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage reference + comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1440CMS8#PBF | Higher supply current (9µA typ), MSOP-8 package, no V– pin (single-supply only), ±1.5% reference accuracy | Limited to single-supply systems; less suitable for extended-temperature or ultra-low-power designs | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs power/performance needs and split-supply operation is unnecessary. |
| MAX921ESA+ | 5µA supply current, SO-8 package, 1.25V reference (±2%), no programmable hysteresis (fixed 5mV) | Fixed hysteresis restricts noise immunity tuning; 1.25V reference requires resistor recalibration for same trip points | Select when board space allows SO-8 and fixed 5mV hysteresis meets system noise floor requirements. |
Compared with LTC1440CMS8#PBF and MAX921ESA+, the ISL21440IRTZ-T13 offers tighter reference accuracy (±0.5% vs ±1.5%/±2%), lower max supply current (6.5µA vs 9µA/5µA), programmable hysteresis (0–50mV vs fixed), and TDFN packaging for higher density - making it optimal for next-gen portable and automotive monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum hysteresis voltage achievable with ISL21440IRTZ-T13?
The ISL21440IRTZ-T13 supports hysteresis voltages from 0mV to 50mV, set by the voltage difference between REF and HYST pins. This is achieved using two external resistors (RREF and RHYST) per Equation 1 and Equation 2 in the datasheet. The 50mV maximum corresponds to VHYST = REF – 50mV, enabling robust noise rejection in electrically noisy environments such as motor-driven or RF-adjacent systems. ISL21440IRTZ-T13 maintains this hysteresis range across its full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature.
Can ISL21440IRTZ-T13 operate with split supplies, and what are the limits?
Yes, ISL21440IRTZ-T13 supports true split-supply operation with V+ ranging from +1.0V to +5.5V and V– ranging from –1.0V to –5.5V, yielding a total supply span of up to 11V. The minimum differential |V+ – V–| must be ≥0.8V for full input common-mode range. GND remains tied to system ground and defines the comparator output low level. This configuration enables direct interfacing with bipolar sensor outputs or legacy industrial signal chains without level-shifting circuitry. ISL21440IRTZ-T13 retains its 1.182V reference accuracy and 6.5µA supply current spec under split-rail conditions.
What is the sink capability of the REF pin on ISL21440IRTZ-T13?
The REF pin on ISL21440IRTZ-T13 is specified to sink up to 10µA maximum while maintaining output regulation within ±0.5% of 1.182V. This limited sink current necessitates high-impedance loading - for example, using ≥100kΩ resistors in hysteresis or divider networks. Exceeding 10µA sink load causes measurable droop (up to –2.5mV per datasheet), degrading trip-point accuracy. For applications requiring higher sink current, ISL21440IRTZ-T13 must be buffered with an op-amp or driven into a high-Z comparator input like IN–. The 2mA source capability remains unaffected.
How does the TDFN package of ISL21440IRTZ-T13 impact thermal performance?
The 8-lead TDFN package (L8.3x3G) of ISL21440IRTZ-T13 delivers θJA = 68°C/W and θJC = 8°C/W - significantly better than the MSOP variant (θJA = 154°C/W). This enables higher power efficiency in thermally constrained spaces: at 6.5µA supply current, junction temperature rise is <0.5°C above ambient, eliminating thermal drift concerns in sealed enclosures. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for optimal heat transfer. ISL21440IRTZ-T13's TDFN footprint also saves >35% board area versus MSOP, critical for wearables and miniaturized IoT nodes.
Is ISL21440IRTZ-T13 pin-compatible with older industry-standard references?
Yes, ISL21440IRTZ-T13 is explicitly documented as pin-compatible with LTC1440, LTC1540, MAX921, and MAX931 in the same 8-lead MSOP or TDFN footprints. Pin mapping (GND, V–, IN+, IN–, HYST, REF, V+, OUT) matches identically across these parts. However, ISL21440IRTZ-T13 improves upon them with tighter reference accuracy (±0.5% vs ±1.5–2%), lower supply current (6.5µA vs 5–9µA), and programmable hysteresis (0–50mV vs fixed or none). No PCB changes are required for drop-in replacement, though resistor values may need adjustment to leverage enhanced specs. ISL21440IRTZ-T13 maintains full functional compatibility.
