Product details
Overview
ISL8700IBZ from Intersil is an adjustable quad power supply sequencer IC that monitors a single distributed voltage (2.5V–24V) for undervoltage and overvoltage compliance, then initiates a user-programmed A→B→C→D enable sequence via four open-drain outputs. It uses a 2.6µA TIME pin current source with external capacitor for startup delay, and TB/TC/TD resistors for inter-output delays. It is used in FPGA, DSP, and multi-rail µP systems requiring precise power-up sequencing.
For engineers reviewing the ISL8700IBZ datasheet, ISL8700IBZ pinout, ISL8700IBZ application, or ISL8700IBZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.5V–24V bias range, 1.21V UV/OV threshold accuracy, 100Ω ENABLE output resistance, -40°C to +85°C operation, and SOIC-14 package compatibility with board-level sequencing control.
Technical Context
The ISL8700IBZ implements a voltage-compliance-gated, capacitor-resistor-programmable sequencing engine: UV/OV pins compare divided input voltage against internal 1.21V reference with 104mV hysteresis; only upon valid window detection does the 2.6µA TIME pin current charge an external capacitor to 2.0V threshold, triggering ENABLE_A release.
Subsequent outputs are timed by independent RC-controlled oscillators tied to TB, TC, and TD pins-each resistor sets a discrete delay (e.g., 3kΩ → 4.7ms, 120kΩ → 195ms) between ENABLE transitions, supporting asymmetric on/off timing without firmware or external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 2.5V to 24V nominal; powers IC and supports wide-input system monitoring without auxiliary bias rail |
| UV/OV Threshold | 1.21V typical; enables precise ±1% trip point setting for 3.3V–24V rails using standard resistor dividers |
| TIME Pin Current | 2.6µA ±10%; provides linear capacitor charging for predictable, temperature-stable startup delay (e.g., 10nF → 7.7ms) |
| ENABLE Output Resistance | 100Ω max; ensures fast rise/fall into typical 4.7kΩ pull-up loads used in DC/DC enable inputs |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; validated across full industrial temperature range with no derating required |
| Package | 14-lead SOIC (M14.15); RoHS-compliant, Pb-free, compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
ISL8700IBZ is housed in a 14-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MO-153, package drawing M14.15), with 1.27mm pitch, 8.65mm × 3.9mm body, and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is ENABLE_D (active-high open-drain), pin 7 is GND, pin 14 is VIN - all pins match the ISL8700 family pinout exactly per datasheet Figure 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ENABLE_A (Pin 4) | Active-high open-drain sequenced output | First output released after TIME capacitor reaches 2.0V; pulls low if VIN < 1V or UV/OV fault occurs |
| ENABLE_B (Pin 3) | Active-high open-drain sequenced output | Activated after programmable delay set by RTB resistor; tracks ENABLE_A turn-off sequence |
| ENABLE_C (Pin 2) | Active-high open-drain sequenced output | Activated after RTC-set delay; maintains strict A→B→C→D order during both power-up and recovery |
| ENABLE_D (Pin 1) | Active-high open-drain sequenced output | Last output asserted; completes sequence; resets simultaneously with others during UV/OV fault |
| UV (Pin 6) | Undervoltage sense input | Monitors lower rail limit; 1.21V threshold triggers immediate shutdown if input falls below programmed value |
| OV (Pin 5) | Overvoltage sense input | Monitors upper rail limit; 1.21V threshold triggers immediate shutdown if input exceeds programmed value |
| TIME (Pin 10) | Capacitor-based startup delay timer | Sinks 2.6µA to charge external CTIME; delay = C × 2.0V / 2.6µA; discharged automatically after ENABLE_A assertion |
| TB (Pin 11) | Delay programming resistor terminal | Resistor to GND sets delay from ENABLE_A to ENABLE_B activation (e.g., 3kΩ → 4.7ms) |
| TC (Pin 12) | Delay programming resistor terminal | Resistor to GND sets delay from ENABLE_B to ENABLE_C activation (e.g., 51kΩ → 86ms) |
| TD (Pin 13) | Delay programming resistor terminal | Resistor to GND sets delay from ENABLE_C to ENABLE_D activation (e.g., 120kΩ → 195ms) |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Bias supply input | Accepts 2.5V–24V; requires 1µF decoupling; powers internal 3.5V/1.17V regulators and logic |
| GND (Pin 7) | Ground reference | Primary return path for internal regulators, UV/OV comparators, and ENABLE output sinks |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable UV/OV monitoring | Independent resistor-divider configuration enables precise trip points for any rail ≥1.22V, with 104mV hysteresis preventing chatter at thresholds |
| Capacitor-programmed startup delay | 2.6µA constant-current TIME pin allows accurate, temperature-stable delay (±10%) from VIN valid to ENABLE_A assertion |
| Resistor-programmed inter-output delays | Three dedicated pins (TB/TC/TD) accept discrete resistors to set independent delays between ENABLE outputs-no shared timing components |
| Open-drain ENABLE outputs | Each output sinks ≥10mA and presents ≤100Ω on-state resistance, enabling direct interface with standard DC/DC enable inputs (typically 3.3V/5V/12V pull-ups) |
| Full-rail voltage monitoring | Supports monitoring of distributed supplies up to 24V using external divider while operating from same rail-no separate sense supply needed |
Applications
| Server CPU Power Sequencing | FPGA Core/IO Bank Sequencing |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the ISL8700IBZ can monitor using its UV and OV pins?
The ISL8700IBZ UV and OV pins have a fixed 1.21V threshold, but the device can monitor any distributed voltage ≥1.22V by using an external resistor divider. For example, a 24V rail can be scaled down to 1.21V using Ru=198kΩ, Rm=1.2kΩ, Rl=10kΩ. The datasheet confirms this capability applies to ISL8700IBZ specifically, and the divider design equations are provided on page 6 of FN9250 Rev 2.00. No additional level-shifting circuitry is required.
Does the ISL8700IBZ support power-down sequencing, or only power-up?
The ISL8700IBZ supports only power-up sequencing. Unlike the ISL8702IBZ-which includes SEQ_EN and FAULT pins for controlled shutdown-the ISL8700IBZ lacks those pins and has no provision for reverse-order turn-off. When a UV or OV fault occurs, all four ENABLE outputs reset simultaneously. Datasheet page 4 explicitly states SEQ_EN and FAULT are "not available on ISL8700 and ISL8701", confirming ISL8700IBZ is power-up-only. For bidirectional sequencing, ISL8702IBZ must be selected.
How do I calculate the delay from VIN valid to ENABLE_A assertion for the ISL8700IBZ?
Use the formula CTIME = tVINSEQpd × 770kΩ from datasheet Equation 5 (page 7). For a target delay of 10ms, CTIME = 10ms × 770kΩ = 7.7nF - select a standard 7.5nF or 8.2nF capacitor. This calculation assumes ISL8700IBZ's 2.6µA TIME pin current charging to 2.0V threshold. Measured tVINSEQpd_10 = 7.7ms with 10nF (page 3), validating the linear relationship. Temperature drift is <±5% across -40°C to +85°C per typical curves on page 8.
Can the ISL8700IBZ be used with a 3.3V-only supply, and what layout precautions apply?
Yes, ISL8700IBZ operates down to 2.5V VIN, so 3.3V is fully supported. However, datasheet page 11 warns that low-supply designs require extra noise mitigation: place ≥1µF ceramic decoupling directly at VIN pin, add an RC filter (R <13Ω + C) to suppress dv/dt transients, and route UV/OV traces away from ENABLE outputs to prevent coupling-induced false faults. Adjacent pins ENABLE_A (4) and OV (5) make ground shielding between them essential per Figure 14.
What is the output behavior of ISL8700IBZ ENABLE pins during power-up and fault conditions?
At VIN <1V, all ENABLE outputs are actively pulled low. Once VIN exceeds 2.08V POR threshold, outputs remain latched low until UV >1.21V and OV <1.21V are confirmed; then TIME capacitor charges and ENABLE_A releases high (via external pull-up). During UV/OV fault, all ENABLE outputs immediately return low within 1µs (tshutdown, page 3). This behavior is confirmed for ISL8700IBZ in the Pin Descriptions table (page 4) and Functional Description (page 5).
