Product details
Overview
ISL88707IB846Z from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a microprocessor supervisor IC with dual active-high/active-low reset outputs, 4.64V fixed VDD threshold, adjustable power-on reset delay via CPOR pin, auxiliary 1.25V PFI monitor, and 1.6s watchdog timer. It operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply, draws ≤10µA at 3V, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Used in portable systems for reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88707IB846Z datasheet, ISL88707IB846Z pinout, ISL88707IB846Z application, or ISL88707IB846Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1.8% voltage threshold accuracy, reset pulse width customization capability, dual RST/RST outputs, immunity to power-supply transients, and compatibility with battery-backed or low-power embedded designs requiring precise voltage supervision.
Technical Context
The ISL88707IB846Z integrates a precision bandgap reference, POR circuit with 200ms nominal tPOR (adjustable via external capacitor on CPOR), independent watchdog timer with 1.6s timeout, and dual-threshold monitoring: primary VDD sensing at 4.64V (±1.8%) and auxiliary PFI input with 1.25V threshold. Its internal hysteresis prevents chatter during voltage transitions.
It features debounced manual reset (MR) with 20kΩ internal pull-up, active-low WDO output that asserts immediately on VDD undervoltage (no minimum pulse width), and complementary push-pull RST and open-drain RST outputs. The device remains functional down to VDD = 1V and supports reset assertion during power-up, power-down, and brownout conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold | 4.64V ±1.8% - ensures reliable reset assertion when main supply drops below stable operating level for 5V systems. |
| Supply Current | ≤10µA at 3V - enables long battery life in portable equipment without compromising supervision integrity. |
| POR Delay (tPOR) | 200ms nominal, adjustable via CPOR capacitor - allows system-level timing coordination for FPGA configuration or oscillator stabilization. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - provides robust software hang detection without excessive CPU overhead or false triggers. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±5mV - supports accurate low-battery warning or auxiliary rail monitoring using external resistor divider. |
| Reset Pulse Width | ≥140ms - guarantees sufficient duration to fully reset microcontroller peripherals and memory subsystems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade reliability in harsh ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
ISL88707IB846Z is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012-AA compliant, RoHS-compliant, M8.15 outline), with 1.27mm lead pitch and 4.9mm × 3.9mm body size.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low debounced input; internally pulled up to VDD (20kΩ); triggers reset when pulled below 0.8V for ≥550ns. |
| 2 VDD | Main Power Supply | Monitored supply rail; reset asserted if VDD falls below 4.64V; device functional down to 1V. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers. |
| 4 PFI | Auxiliary Voltage Input | Monitors external voltage (e.g., battery or secondary rail); comparator threshold = 1.25V; supports resistor-divider scaling. |
| 5 RST | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output; driven high to VDD during reset; releases when VDD > 4.64V + hysteresis and tPOR expires. |
| 6 CPOR | Adjustable POR Timing Input | Connect external capacitor to GND to extend tPOR beyond 200ms (e.g., 50pF → ~1.4s); layout-sensitive node. |
| 7 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output; goes low when PFI < 1.25V; used for early warning or presence detection. |
| 8 RST | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output with internal PMOS pull-up; pulled low to GND during reset; complements RST for mixed-logic systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual RST/RST outputs | Enables direct interface with both active-high and active-low reset domains without external logic inversion. |
| Adjustable tPOR via CPOR | Eliminates need for external RC timing networks; supports flexible system boot timing from 200ms to seconds. |
| 1.25V PFI threshold with hysteresis | Provides stable low-battery detection or auxiliary rail monitoring with 20mV hysteresis to prevent oscillation near threshold. |
| 1.6s watchdog timer | Independent of VDD monitoring; clears on WDI edge or MR assertion; avoids false timeouts during brief software stalls. |
| Ultra-low 10µA supply current | Minimizes quiescent drain in always-on battery backup paths, extending shelf life and runtime. |

FAQ
What is the exact VDD reset threshold voltage for ISL88707IB846Z?
The ISL88707IB846Z has a factory-programmed VDD threshold of 4.64V, specified with ±1.8% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Electrical Specifications section of FN8092 Rev 6.00, where min/typ/max values are 4.556V/4.640V/4.724V. The part marking "I46Z" directly encodes this 4.64V threshold.
Does ISL88707IB846Z support adjustable power-on reset delay, and how is it implemented?
Yes, ISL88707IB846Z supports adjustable power-on reset delay (tPOR) via the CPOR pin. Connecting an external capacitor between CPOR and GND extends tPOR beyond the nominal 200ms - for example, a 50pF capacitor increases tPOR to approximately 1.4s. This feature is exclusive to ISL88707 and ISL88708 variants, as documented in Figure 3 and Section "Adjusting tPOR" on page 7 of FN8092 Rev 6.00.
What are the key differences between ISL88707IB846Z and ISL88705IB846Z?
ISL88707IB846Z includes both RST (active-high) and RST (active-low) outputs plus the CPOR pin for tPOR adjustment, whereas ISL88705IB846Z provides only RST and lacks CPOR. Both share the same 4.64V threshold, PFI/PFO, WDI/WDO, and MR functionality. The ISL88707IB846Z is functionally superset of ISL88705IB846Z, enabling dual-reset domain interfacing and customizable timing.
Can ISL88707IB846Z monitor voltages other than the main VDD supply?
Yes, ISL88707IB846Z includes a dedicated PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin with a precise 1.25V internal threshold. By connecting an external resistor divider to PFI, it can monitor auxiliary voltages such as battery levels, secondary rails, or negative supplies - as demonstrated in Figures 2 and 16 of FN8092 Rev 6.00. The PFO output reflects the PFI comparison result.
What is the maximum supply voltage and operating temperature range for ISL88707IB846Z?
The ISL88707IB846Z supports a supply voltage range of 2.0V to 5.5V and operates across the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. These values are explicitly stated in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table on page 5 of FN8092 Rev 6.00 and validated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
