Product details
Overview
ISL88021IU8FAZ-TK from Intersil is a triple voltage monitor IC with adjustable power-on-reset, undervoltage monitoring on VDD (3.09V threshold), V2MON (1.69V fixed), and V3MON (UV detection referenced to 0.605V), designed for reliable system reset assertion in multi-rail embedded systems. It delivers active-low open-drain RST and active-high push-pull RST outputs, supports manual reset via debounced MR input, and operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply with only 15µA typical quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88021IU8FAZ-TK datasheet, ISL88021IU8FAZ-TK pinout, ISL88021IU8FAZ-TK application, or ISL88021IU8FAZ-TK equivalent, key selection considerations include its UV-only V3MON configuration, MSOP-8 package footprint, 140ms minimum POR delay (adjustable via CPOR capacitor), dual reset output types, and industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) compliance.
Technical Context
The ISL88021IU8FAZ-TK implements independent comparator-based monitoring of three voltage rails: VDD (fixed 3.09V trip), V2MON (fixed 1.69V trip), and V3MON (undervoltage detection against internal 0.605V reference). Reset assertion occurs when any monitored rail falls below its threshold, and remains asserted until all rails stabilize above their thresholds for the full tPOR period.
Its Power-On-Reset circuit activates at VDD > 1V and holds RST low for ≥140ms (configurable up to ~390ms with 10pF CPOR capacitor); the MR input features internal 20kΩ pull-up and 550ns minimum pulse width requirement. Both RST and RST outputs are guaranteed functional down to VDD = 1V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold (VTH1) | 3.09V ±0.056V over -40°C to +85°C - sets primary supply supervision level for microprocessor power rail |
| V2MON Threshold (VTH2) | 1.69V ±0.030V - fixed undervoltage detection point for secondary supply (e.g., I/O or analog rail) |
| V3MON Reference | 0.605V ±0.011V - internal precision reference enabling resistor-divider-based UV monitoring of any rail >0.6V |
| POR Timeout (tPOR) | 140–200ms (CPOR open) - ensures sufficient stabilization time for CPU, oscillator, and FPGA before release |
| Supply Current (IDD1) | 15µA typical at VDD = 5.0V - enables long battery life in portable equipment without sacrificing supervision accuracy |
| Reset Output Drive | RST sinks 2.5mA @ VDD ≥3.3V with VOL ≤0.4V; RST sources 2.5mA with VOH ≥VDD−0.4V - supports direct interface to most µP reset inputs |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Plastic), 3.0mm × 3.0mm body, 0.65mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant Pb-free plus anneal finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| 2 VDD | Main Power Supply Input | Supplies internal circuitry; enables POR at >1V and defines VTH1 trip point (3.09V) |
| 3 V2MON | Second Undervoltage Monitor Input | Fixed 1.69V threshold comparator input for secondary supply rail monitoring |
| 4 GND | Analog/Digital Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, POR timer, and reset drivers |
| 5 V3MON | Adjustable Undervoltage Monitor Input | Compares external resistor-divider voltage to 0.605V reference; detects UV on any rail >0.6V |
| 6 CPOR | Power-On-Reset Timing Capacitor Node | Connects to GND via capacitor (0–50pF) to extend tPOR beyond 140ms baseline |
| 7 RST | Active-Low Open-Drain Reset Output | Drives low during reset; requires external pull-up; compatible with µP /RESET pins |
| 8 RST | Active-High Push-Pull Reset Output | Drives high during normal operation; drives low during reset; no external components needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of main supply (VDD), auxiliary rail (V2MON), and user-configurable rail (V3MON) prevents false resets from single-rail transients |
| Adjustable POR timeout | Capacitor-programmable tPOR (140ms–390ms) accommodates diverse oscillator startup and FPGA configuration times without firmware changes |
| Dual reset output types | RST (open-drain) and RST (push-pull) provide hardware flexibility for legacy and modern µP reset interface requirements |
| Low-power operation | 15µA typical supply current enables use in always-on supervisory circuits for battery-backed systems |
| Manual reset with debounce | Integrated MR input debouncing eliminates need for external RC filter or logic, reducing BOM count and board area |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Medical Diagnostic Instruments |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Triple voltage monitor asserting synchronized reset across all rails upon any undervoltage event; POR ensures clean boot after power cycling. Use Value: Prevents corrupted state transitions during brownouts by holding µP in reset until all supplies exceed 3.09V, 1.69V, and 0.605V×(R1+R2)/R2 respectively for ≥140ms. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring critical power rails in portable ultrasound or ECG devices where battery voltage sag must trigger immediate safe shutdown. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary supervisor for main DC-DC outputs (5V, 3.3V, 2.5V) using VDD, V2MON, and V3MON with resistor dividers. Use Value: 15µA quiescent current extends battery runtime; dual RST/RST outputs simplify interface to both microcontroller and analog front-end ASIC reset domains. |
| Network Edge Routers | Automotive Infotainment ECUs |
|
Use Scenario: Ensuring reliable boot sequencing and runtime supervision of multi-voltage SoC platforms (e.g., 1.1V core, 1.8V memory, 3.3V PHY) in telecom infrastructure gear. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor providing fail-safe reset generation with manual override capability via front-panel button connected to MR. Use Value: MR debouncing and 550ns pulse rejection prevent spurious resets from switch bounce or ESD events, improving field reliability. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring 5V infotainment head-unit supply, 3.3V MCU rail, and 2.5V display bias voltage under automotive load-dump and cold-crank conditions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Industrial-temperature-rated triple monitor detecting undervoltage on all three rails with hysteresis (37mV/17mV) to reject noise-induced trips. Use Value: VTH1 hysteresis (37mV at 3.09V) and VTH2 hysteresis (17mV at 1.69V) prevent oscillatory reset behavior during slow supply recovery after cranking. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple voltage monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
