Product details
Overview
ISL88021IU8FCZ from Intersil is a triple voltage monitor IC with adjustable power-on-reset, undervoltage monitoring on VDD (3.09V threshold), V2MON (2.32V fixed), and V3MON (UV detection referenced to 0.605V), designed for system-level power supervision in embedded controllers and multi-rail systems. It delivers active-low open-drain RST and active-high push-pull RST outputs, supports manual reset via MR pin, and operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88021IU8FCZ datasheet, ISL88021IU8FCZ pinout, ISL88021IU8FCZ application, or ISL88021IU8FCZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.09V/2.32V dual fixed thresholds, UV-only V3MON capability, 140–200ms POR timeout (adjustable via CPOR capacitor), 20µA quiescent current, and 8-lead MSOP package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The ISL88021IU8FCZ implements independent comparator-based monitoring of three rails: VDD (fixed 3.09V trip), V2MON (fixed 2.32V trip), and V3MON (undervoltage only, referenced to internal 0.605V ±11mV). Reset assertion occurs when any monitored rail falls below its threshold, and remains asserted until all rails stabilize for ≥140ms (tPOR).
Power-on-reset timing is controlled by an internal counter gated by CPOR pin capacitance-open CPOR yields ~140–200ms delay, scalable up to ~10× with ≤50pF external capacitor. The MR input features 20kΩ internal pull-up and 550ns minimum pulse width support, enabling robust push-button or logic-driven reset initiation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold | 3.09V ±0.056V over –40°C to +85°C; ensures reliable microcontroller startup at nominal 3.3V rail |
| V2MON Threshold | 2.32V ±0.042V; monitors secondary supply (e.g., 2.5V I/O or analog rail) with 23mV hysteresis |
| V3MON Reference | 0.605V ±11mV internal reference; enables precise UV detection of >0.6V supplies via resistor divider |
| tPOR Delay | 140–200ms (CPOR open); extends to longer durations with external capacitor-critical for FPGA configuration timing |
| Supply Current | 15µA typical at 5V; enables low-power supervision in battery-backed or always-on systems |
| Reset Outputs | RST (open-drain, VOL ≤0.4V @ 2.5mA) and RST (push-pull, VOH ≥VDD–0.4V); supports mixed-logic interface requirements |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation environments |
Pinout & Package
ISL88021IU8FCZ is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package (JEDEC MO-187AA), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 0.95mm, with exposed pad not electrically connected. Pin spacing is 0.65mm pitch; lead finish is Pb-free plus anneal (RoHS compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-low manual reset input | Debounced input with 20kΩ internal pull-up; asserts reset when pulled <0.8V for ≥550ns |
| 2 VDD | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry; reset valid down to VDD = 1V; operates 2.0–5.5V |
| 3 V2MON | Fixed-threshold undervoltage monitor input | Monitors second rail at 2.32V; comparator output feeds reset logic |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal comparators and outputs |
| 5 V3MON | Adjustable undervoltage monitor input | Compares external divided voltage to 0.605V reference; supports UV only (ISL88021) |
| 6 CPOR | Power-on-reset timeout capacitor connection | External capacitor sets tPOR delay; 0–50pF range scales delay from ~140ms to >1s |
| 7 RST | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives low during reset; requires external pull-up; sinks 2.5mA max |
| 8 RST | Active-high push-pull reset output | Drives high during normal operation; sources 2.5mA min; no external pull-up needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VDD (3.09V), V2MON (2.32V), and V3MON (UV only) prevents false resets from single-rail transients |
| Adjustable POR timeout | Capacitor-programmable tPOR allows precise alignment with FPGA config time or oscillator stabilization without firmware changes |
| Dual reset outputs (RST/RST) | Eliminates need for external level-shifting or inverters-supports both active-low and active-high reset architectures |
| Low 20µA quiescent current | Minimizes impact on standby power budget in always-on supervisory circuits |
| Manual reset with internal pull-up | Reduces BOM count by eliminating external resistor; simplifies push-button integration |

FAQ
What is the VDD voltage threshold for ISL88021IU8FCZ?
The ISL88021IU8FCZ has a fixed VDD trip point of 3.09V with ±0.056V tolerance over –40°C to +85°C. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies specifically to the IU8FCZ variant, as confirmed in the FN8226 datasheet ordering table. The device holds reset until VDD rises above this threshold and remains stable for the full tPOR period.
Does ISL88021IU8FCZ support overvoltage monitoring on V3MON?
No, ISL88021IU8FCZ supports undervoltage (UV) monitoring only on V3MON, as indicated by "UV" in the ordering table row for ISL88021IU8FCZ. The ISL88022 variants provide overvoltage (OV) capability on V3MON; ISL88021IU8FCZ uses the same 0.605V internal reference but compares external voltage for UV condition only.
How is the power-on-reset timeout adjusted for ISL88021IU8FCZ?
The ISL88021IU8FCZ tPOR delay is adjusted by connecting a capacitor between CPOR pin and GND. With CPOR open, tPOR is 140–200ms; adding up to 50pF scales the delay linearly per Figure 2 in FN8226. Layout must minimize stray capacitance on CPOR to avoid timing error-no PCB pad is required for default timing.
What are the reset output types provided by ISL88021IU8FCZ?
The ISL88021IU8FCZ provides two complementary reset outputs: RST is active-low open-drain (requires external pull-up), and RST is active-high push-pull (no external components needed). Both assert simultaneously during reset and release together after tPOR, supporting diverse host processor interface requirements.
Is ISL88021IU8FCZ RoHS compliant and what is its package type?
Yes, ISL88021IU8FCZ is RoHS compliant under the "Pb-Free Plus Anneal" construction, featuring 100% matte tin termination and compatible with SnPb and Pb-free reflow. Its package is an 8-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Plastic) per JEDEC MO-187AA, with 3.0mm × 3.0mm body and 0.65mm lead pitch.
