Product details
Overview
ISL88003IH16Z-T7A from Renesas Electronics is an ultra-low-power voltage supervisor IC with active-high push-pull reset output, 1.58V fixed threshold, ±1.2% accuracy, 190ms power-on reset timeout, and operation down to VDD = 1V. It monitors single supply rails in space-constrained portable and battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88003IH16Z-T7A datasheet, ISL88003IH16Z-T7A pinout, ISL88003IH16Z-T7A application, or ISL88003IH16Z-T7A equivalent, this device delivers precise brownout detection for microcontroller power sequencing, low-voltage system initialization, and reliable reset assertion under transient supply conditions.
Technical Context
The ISL88003IH16Z-T7A integrates a precision bandgap reference, comparator with hysteresis, and POR circuitry to assert reset when VDD falls below 1.58V or during initial power-up. Its internal architecture ensures immunity to supply transients and stable operation across -40°C to +85°C.
It features a push-pull RST output that drives HIGH (to VDD) upon valid supply condition and LOW (to GND) during reset, eliminating external pull-up components. The device consumes only 160nA typical supply current at 1.8V, enabling multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 1.58V ±1.2% - precisely monitors 1.6V-class supplies with minimal margin loss. |
| Supply Current | 160nA typical at 1.8V - enables decade-scale battery operation in IoT sensors. |
| POR Timeout | 190ms nominal - ensures sufficient stabilization time before releasing µP reset. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-high push-pull - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor; drives full VDD logic HIGH. |
| Valid Reset Range | VDD ≥ 1V - guarantees functional reset assertion even during deep brownout. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin environments. |
| Package | 3-lead SOT-23 - 2.92mm × 1.30mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
ISL88003IH16Z-T7A is housed in a Pb-free 3-lead SOT-23 package (JEDEC TO-236), with 0.95mm lead pitch and 1.00mm body height. The package supports standard reflow profiles per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground reference | IC substrate and comparator reference node; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| 2 (RST) | Active-high push-pull reset output | Drives HIGH to VDD when supply is valid; LOW to GND during reset; no external pull-up required. |
| 3 (VDD) | Supply input & monitored rail | Power source and analog input for threshold comparison; also powers internal circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 1.58V threshold | Enables direct supervision of 1.6V FPGA I/O banks or low-voltage ASIC cores without external resistors. |
| ±1.2% threshold accuracy | Reduces design margin overhead vs. ±2–3% alternatives, improving system voltage headroom. |
| 160nA supply current | Lowers quiescent power in always-on monitoring nodes-critical for coin-cell-powered wearables. |
| 190ms POR timeout | Guarantees µC oscillator stabilization and register initialization before release of reset signal. |
| 1V minimum operating VDD | Ensures deterministic reset behavior during severe brownouts where other supervisors fail silently. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX809SEUR+T | 1.60V threshold, ±2.5% accuracy, 1.2µA IDD, open-drain RST, SOT-23-3 | Higher quiescent current limits battery life; open-drain requires pull-up; less accurate threshold. | Select when legacy MAX809 compatibility is required and power budget allows >7× higher IDD. |
| TPS3801K33DBVR | 3.3V threshold (not 1.58V), ±0.5% accuracy, 1.8µA IDD, push-pull RST, SOT-23-3 | Fixed 3.3V trip incompatible with 1.6V rail; superior accuracy but unsuitable for this voltage point. | Use only if supervising 3.3V domain; not a functional substitute for 1.58V monitoring. |
Compared with MAX809SEUR+T and TPS3801K33DBVR, the ISL88003IH16Z-T7A uniquely combines 1.58V trip, ±1.2% accuracy, and 160nA current in a push-pull SOT-23 package-enabling compact, long-life supervision of sub-1.8V rails where alternatives either lack voltage match or increase power overhead.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the ISL88003IH16Z-T7A?
The ISL88003IH16Z-T7A has a nominal reset threshold of 1.58V with ±1.2% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C. At +25°C, the specified range is 1.561V to 1.599V; full-temperature min/max is 1.537V to 1.623V. This fixed threshold is factory-trimmed and requires no external components.
Does the ISL88003IH16Z-T7A require an external pull-up resistor on the RST pin?
No. The ISL88003IH16Z-T7A features a push-pull RST output that actively drives HIGH to VDD when the supply is valid and LOW to GND during reset. Unlike open-drain supervisors, it eliminates the need for an external pull-up resistor, reducing BOM count and PCB area.
Can the ISL88003IH16Z-T7A operate when VDD drops below 1.6V?
Yes. The ISL88003IH16Z-T7A guarantees functional reset assertion down to VDD = 1V. Its internal circuitry remains operational and asserts RST correctly even during deep brownout events where VDD falls below the 1.58V threshold-ensuring deterministic system behavior.
What is the power-on reset timeout duration for the ISL88003IH16Z-T7A?
The ISL88003IH16Z-T7A provides a nominal power-on reset timeout of 190ms. Per datasheet Figure 5, typical tPOR is ~145ms, with min/max specification of 140ms to 260ms over temperature. This delay ensures µP oscillator stabilization and register initialization before reset release.
Is the ISL88003IH16Z-T7A pin-compatible with MAX809 series devices?
No. While the ISL88003IH16Z-T7A is functionally comparable to MAX809 variants, it is not pin-compatible. The ISL88003IH16Z-T7A uses Pin 1=GND, Pin 2=RST, Pin 3=VDD; MAX809 uses Pin 1=GND, Pin 2=VCC, Pin 3=RESET. Layout redesign is required for substitution.
