Product details
Overview
ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK from Intersil is a triple voltage monitor IC with adjustable power-on-reset, undervoltage monitoring on VDD (4.64V threshold), V2MON (3.09V fixed), and V3MON (0.605V internal reference for UV detection), 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 MR pin, and operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply with 15µA typical quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK datasheet, ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK pinout, ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK application, or ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.64V/3.09V dual fixed thresholds, UV-only V3MON capability, 140–200ms POR timeout (adjustable via CPOR capacitor), -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and 8-lead MSOP package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK implements independent comparator-based monitoring of three voltage rails: VDD (fixed 4.64V trip), V2MON (fixed 3.09V trip), and V3MON (0.605V reference for resistor-divider-based undervoltage detection). Reset assertion occurs if any monitored rail falls below its threshold, with hysteresis (46mV on VDD, 37mV on V2MON) preventing chatter during slow transitions.
Its Power-On-Reset circuit activates when VDD exceeds 1V, holding RST low for ≥140ms (configurable up to ~390ms with 10pF CPOR capacitor); both RST and RST outputs are synchronized to this timeout. The MR input features internal 20kΩ pull-up and 550ns minimum pulse width support for debounced manual reset initiation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold (VTH1) | 4.649V (±8.4mV over -40°C to +85°C); ensures reliable reset during 5V rail brownout |
| V2MON Threshold (VTH2) | 3.090V (±56mV); monitors 3.3V supply compliance with 37mV hysteresis |
| V3MON Reference (VTH3) | 0.605V ±11mV; enables precise UV detection of >0.6V rails via external resistor divider |
| POR Timeout (tPOR) | 140–200ms (CPOR open); extends to ~390ms with 10pF capacitor-sufficient for FPGA configuration |
| Supply Current (IDD1) | 15µA at VDD = 5.0V; enables long battery life in portable equipment |
| Reset Output Drive | RST sinks 2.5mA @ VDD ≥ 3.3V (VOL ≤ 0.4V); RST sources 2.5mA (VOH ≥ VDD−0.4V) |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial embedded control and process instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead MSOP (Mini Small Outline Plastic), 3.0mm × 3.0mm body, 0.65mm pitch, RoHS-compliant Pb-free plus anneal finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Active-low manual reset input | Debounced input with 20kΩ internal pull-up; asserts reset when pulled <100mV for ≥1µs |
| 2 VDD | Main power supply input | Supplies internal circuitry; POR initiates at VDD > 1V; valid reset operation down to VDD = 1V |
| 3 V2MON | Second undervoltage monitor input | Fixed 3.09V threshold; compares against 3.3V rail-no external components required |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog comparators and digital logic; must be low-impedance |
| 5 V3MON | Adjustable undervoltage monitor input | Compares external divided voltage to 0.605V reference; enables custom UV detection for 2.5V/1.8V rails |
| 6 CPOR | Power-on-reset timeout delay control | Capacitor-to-ground sets tPOR; 0pF → 140–200ms; 10pF → ~390ms; max 50pF recommended |
| 7 RST | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives microcontroller /RESET pin; requires external pull-up; sinks 2.5mA min |
| 8 RST | Active-high push-pull reset output | Directly drives logic-level enable inputs; no external components needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VDD (5V), V2MON (3.3V), and V3MON (custom rail) prevents single-point failure |
| Adjustable POR timeout | CPOR pin allows fine-tuning of reset hold time to match FPGA boot, oscillator stabilization, or flash programming delays |
| Dual reset outputs (RST/RST) | Supports legacy active-low microcontrollers and modern active-high peripherals without level-shifting |
| Manual reset with internal pull-up | Eliminates external resistor; push-button interface requires only MR-to-GND connection |
| Low 15µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw in battery-backed systems and portable instrumentation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple voltage monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361KA29D3+T | Fixed 2.93V VDD threshold; no V2MON/V3MON flexibility; only single reset output (active-low) | Limited to dual-rail monitoring; lacks adjustable POR and dual-output drive capability | Select when only basic 3V system supervision is needed and board space permits larger SOT23-6 package |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V only); no V2MON/V3MON inputs; fixed 3.08V threshold; no manual reset input | Cannot supervise multiple rails simultaneously; no MR or CPOR adjustability | Choose only for simple 3.3V-only applications where cost is primary and feature set is secondary |
Compared with MAX6361KA29D3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK uniquely supports three independent rails, dual reset polarity, manual reset with internal pull-up, and POR timeout adjustment-making it suitable for complex multi-voltage embedded systems requiring high reliability and design flexibility.

FAQ
What is the exact VDD undervoltage threshold for ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK?
The ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK has a fixed VDD trip point (VTH1) of 4.649V (typical), with a guaranteed range of 4.565V to 4.733V over -40°C to +85°C. This threshold is factory-trimmed and applies specifically to the IU8HFZ variant, which uses the "H" VDD threshold option (4.64V nominal) as confirmed in the FN8226 datasheet ordering table.
Does ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK support overvoltage monitoring on V3MON?
No, the ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK supports undervoltage (UV) monitoring only on V3MON, as indicated by its part number suffix "HFZ" and the datasheet designation "UV" under V3MON TYPE in the ordering table. The ISL88022 variant is required for overvoltage monitoring on V3MON; ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK compares the V3MON input to a 0.605V internal reference to detect drops below user-defined thresholds.
How is the Power-On-Reset timeout adjusted on ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK?
The ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK POR timeout (tPOR) is adjusted by connecting a capacitor between CPOR (Pin 6) and GND. With CPOR open, tPOR is 140–200ms; adding 10pF extends it to ~390ms. The datasheet specifies a maximum recommended CPOR capacitance of 50pF and warns that stray PCB capacitance must be minimized to avoid timing error.
What are the reset output types provided by ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK?
The ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK provides two complementary reset outputs: RST (Pin 7) is an active-low open-drain output requiring an external pull-up resistor, and RST (Pin 8) is an active-high push-pull output capable of sourcing 2.5mA. Both outputs are asserted simultaneously after the POR timeout and remain active until all monitored voltages meet their thresholds.
Is ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, the ISL88021IU8HFZ-TK is offered in a Pb-Free Plus Anneal version (RoHS compliant), featuring 100% matte tin plate termination finish and materials qualified for both SnPb and Pb-free soldering. Its MSL rating meets or exceeds IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 requirements for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C.
