Product details
Overview
ISL88706IB829Z from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 2.92V VDD reset threshold, active-low/high reset outputs, watchdog timer (1.6s timeout), power-fail monitor (1.25V PFI threshold), and manual reset input. It operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply and draws ≤10µA at 3V, enabling reliable power-up, brownout, and low-battery detection in battery-powered embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88706IB829Z datasheet, ISL88706IB829Z pinout, ISL88706IB829Z application, or ISL88706IB829Z equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 package details, functional context for reset timing and voltage supervision, and validated alternative parts for industrial and portable system design.
Technical Context
The ISL88706IB829Z integrates a precision voltage comparator with ±1.8% threshold accuracy, hysteresis (29mV at 2.92V), and immunity to power-supply transients. Its POR circuit asserts reset for 140–260ms after VDD rises above 2.92V, with reset remaining valid down to VDD = 1V.
It features dual reset outputs (RST active-low open-drain, RST active-high push-pull), a debounced MR input with 20kΩ internal pull-up, and a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions. The PFI/PFO pair monitors auxiliary voltages ≥1.25V with 20mV hysteresis, supporting low-battery warning and presence detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold (VTH1) | 2.92V ±1.8% - factory-trimmed trip point ensures accurate 2.92V supply monitoring with 29mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during brownout recovery. |
| Supply Current (IDD) | ≤10µA at 3V - ultra-low quiescent current extends battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision reliability. |
| Reset Pulse Width (tPOR) | 140–260ms - guaranteed minimum 140ms reset assertion time ensures sufficient processor initialization before release. |
| Watchdog Timeout (tWDT) | 1.0–2.0s (typ. 1.6s) - configurable window for detecting microprocessor lockup; cleared on WDI rising/falling edges. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±0.05V - fixed internal reference enables direct low-voltage monitoring or adjustable via external resistor divider for custom thresholds. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - industrial-grade thermal performance suitable for embedded controllers and communications hardware. |
| Reset Validity | Down to VDD = 1V - maintains asserted reset state even during deep undervoltage conditions, preventing erratic MCU behavior. |
Pinout & Package
ISL88706IB829Z is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012-AA, RoHS-compliant, M8.15 drawing), with 1.27mm lead pitch, 4.00mm body width, and 5.00mm body length.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low debounced input; internally pulled up to VDD via 20kΩ; triggers reset when pulled below 0.8V for ≥550ns. |
| 2 VDD | Power Supply Input | Main supply rail monitored against 2.92V threshold; reset asserted if VDD falls below trip point or during power-up. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | System ground return for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers. |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Auxiliary voltage monitor input; compared to 1.25V internal reference to detect low-battery or power-fail conditions. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-high open-drain output; goes high when PFI > 1.25V, low otherwise; supports warning signaling or MR-driven reset. |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6s clears watchdog timer; floating or high-Z disables watchdog function. |
| 7 RST | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output with internal PMOS pull-up; pulled low during reset; sinks 2.5mA at VDD ≥3.3V with VOL ≤0.4V. |
| 8 RST | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output; driven high to VDD during reset; sources 0.8mA at VDD ≥3.3V with VOH ≥ VDD − 0.6V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 2.92V VDD threshold | Factory-trimmed ±1.8% accuracy eliminates external resistor networks and reduces BOM count in 3.0V/3.3V systems. |
| Dual RST/RST outputs | Simultaneous active-low and active-high reset signals simplify interface with diverse logic families (TTL, CMOS, FPGA I/O banks). |
| 1.25V PFI reference with hysteresis | Enables robust low-battery detection down to 1.25V or custom thresholds via resistor divider-no external reference required. |
| 1.6s watchdog timer | Self-contained timing block detects firmware hangs without external RC components; cleared by any WDI edge transition. |
| Reset validity to 1V VDD | Ensures clean reset assertion through deep brownout events, preventing partial MCU operation and data corruption. |
| Ultra-low 10µA supply current | Minimizes standby power draw in always-on battery-backed systems such as smart meters and IoT edge nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326US29D3+ | 2.93V reset threshold, 3.5µA max IDD, no PFI/PFO, single RST output, no watchdog timer. | Lacks auxiliary voltage monitoring and watchdog functionality; suited only for basic reset-only use cases. | Select when only precise VDD supervision is needed and auxiliary monitoring or watchdog is handled elsewhere. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3V reset threshold, 16µA max IDD, adjustable delay, no PFI/PFO, no dual RST outputs, no watchdog timer. | Higher threshold and no auxiliary monitoring limit use to 3.3V-only systems without battery warning capability. | Choose for cost-sensitive 3.3V applications where extended POR delay is preferred over dual reset polarity or PFI. |
Compared with MAX6326US29D3+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, ISL88706IB829Z uniquely combines 2.92V precision supervision, dual-polarity reset outputs, integrated watchdog, and 1.25V PFI monitoring in a single SOIC-8 package-enabling compact, feature-complete supervision without external components.

FAQ
What is the exact reset voltage threshold for ISL88706IB829Z?
The ISL88706IB829Z has a factory-programmed VDD reset threshold of 2.92V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±1.8% (2.867V to 2.973V) across temperature and supply conditions. This value is encoded in the part marking "I29Z" and confirmed in the Electrical Specifications table on page 5 of FN8092 Rev 6.00.
Does ISL88706IB829Z support both active-low and active-high reset outputs?
Yes, ISL88706IB829Z provides two independent reset outputs: pin 7 (RST) is active-low open-drain with internal PMOS pull-up, and pin 8 (RST) is active-high push-pull. Both assert simultaneously during power-up, brownout, or manual reset, enabling flexible interfacing with mixed-logic systems.
Can the watchdog timer on ISL88706IB829Z be disabled?
Yes, the watchdog timer is automatically disabled when the WDI pin (pin 6) is left floating or connected to a high-impedance (tri-state) source. No configuration register or external signal is required-watchdog operation resumes only when WDI receives valid edge transitions within the 1.6s timeout window.
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on ISL88706IB829Z?
PFI (pin 4) is an auxiliary voltage input compared to a 1.25V internal reference; PFO (pin 5) is its corresponding active-high open-drain output. When PFI voltage exceeds 1.25V, PFO goes high-enabling low-battery warning, power-fail detection, or presence sensing without external components.
Is ISL88706IB829Z compatible with reflow soldering processes?
Yes, ISL88706IB829Z uses a Pb-free SOIC-8 package (M8.15 drawing) qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020. Its thermal resistance θJA is 110°C/W on a 4-layer board, and it meets IPC/JEDEC reflow peak temperature requirements for RoHS-compliant assembly.
