Product details
Overview
ISL88708IB831Z from Intersil is a microprocessor supervisor IC with fixed 3.09V VDD voltage threshold, dual active-high/active-low reset outputs (RST/RST), adjustable power-on reset delay via CPOR pin, 1.25V auxiliary power-fail monitor (PFI/PFO), and 1.6s watchdog timer. It operates from 2.0V to 5.5V supply, consumes ≤10µA at 3V, and asserts reset down to VDD = 1V - used in battery-powered portable systems for reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88708IB831Z datasheet, ISL88708IB831Z pinout, ISL88708IB831Z application, or ISL88708IB831Z equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±1.8% VTH accuracy, 140ms minimum reset pulse width, CPOR-adjustable tPOR (200ms nominal), dual reset polarity support, and immunity to power-supply transients in industrial-temperature (–40°C to +85°C) SOIC-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The ISL88708IB831Z integrates four core supervision functions: precise VDD monitoring with hysteresis (3.09V ±1.8%), auxiliary PFI input with 1.25V threshold for low-battery or power-fail detection, 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions, and manual reset (MR) with internal 20kΩ pull-up. Its dual RST/RST outputs enable direct interface with both active-high and active-low logic domains without external inverters.
Unlike ISL88705/88706 variants, the ISL88708IB831Z includes the CPOR pin for user-adjustable POR timeout (e.g., 50pF → ~1.4s), and unlike ISL88716/88813, it retains full watchdog functionality. All functions operate reliably across –40°C to +85°C with reset assertion valid down to VDD = 1V and ultra-low 10µA max supply current at 3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold | 3.09V ±1.8% - factory-trimmed trip point ensures accurate 3.3V rail supervision with minimal false resets during noise or droop. |
| Supply Current | ≤10µA at 3V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable devices without compromising supervision reliability. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 140–260ms - guarantees sufficient hold time for FPGA configuration, microcontroller initialization, and oscillator stabilization. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - detects microprocessor lockup or firmware hang without requiring software intervention or external timing components. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - supports flexible auxiliary voltage monitoring (e.g., battery voltage via resistor divider) with 20mV hysteresis to prevent chatter. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade embedded systems including notebooks, communications equipment, and intelligent instruments. |
| VDD Range | 2.0V to 5.5V - accommodates wide-input power architectures while maintaining reset validity down to 1V supply. |
Pinout & Package
ISL88708IB831Z is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012-AA, pkg drawing M8.15), RoHS-compliant, with 1.27mm lead pitch and 5.00mm × 4.00mm body dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Active-low debounced input with 20kΩ internal pull-up; triggers reset when pulled below 0.8V for ≥550ns - enables push-button or logic-driven system reset. |
| 2 VDD | Power Supply Input | Main supply rail input monitored against 3.09V threshold; reset asserted on power-up, brownout, or dropout - valid down to VDD = 1V. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path for all internal comparators, timers, and output drivers - must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Auxiliary voltage monitor input with 1.25V threshold; drives PFO high when PFI > 1.25V - used for battery warning or secondary supply monitoring. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-high output reflecting PFI state; sinks 2.5mA at VDD ≥3.3V - connects directly to MCU interrupt or status LED. |
| 6 CPOR | Adjustable POR Delay Input | Capacitor connection point to ground; scales tPOR from 200ms (open) to >1s (e.g., 50pF → ~1.4s) - eliminates need for external RC timing networks. |
| 7 RST | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull active-low output with PMOS pull-up; drives low during reset, high otherwise - interfaces natively with reset inputs requiring active-low assertion. |
| 8 RST | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull active-high output; drives high during reset, low otherwise - eliminates external inverter for systems requiring active-high reset signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-Polarity Reset Outputs | RST (active-low) and RST (active-high) provide simultaneous compatibility with mixed-logic systems - no level-shifting or inversion required. |
| Adjustable Power-On Reset Delay | CPOR pin enables precise tPOR extension beyond 200ms using a single external capacitor - simplifies timing-critical boot sequences without extra ICs. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | ≤10µA at 3V allows integration into always-on battery-backed subsystems without significant runtime impact. |
| Immunity to Supply Transients | Hysteresis (37mV at 3.09V) and internal filtering prevent false resets during switching noise or brief voltage dips - critical for noisy DC/DC environments. |
| Wide Auxiliary Monitoring Range | PFI accepts voltages down to 1.25V and supports custom thresholds >1.25V via resistor divider - enables flexible low-battery, presence, or OV/UV detection. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable Equipment | Notebook/Desktop Computer Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL88706IB831Z | Same 3.09V VDD threshold, SOIC-8 package, and –40°C to +85°C rating, but lacks CPOR pin and dual RST/RST - only provides RST (active-low) output. | No adjustable tPOR or active-high reset; requires external inverter if RST signal needed; suitable for cost-sensitive designs where timing flexibility is not required. | Select ISL88706IB831Z only when CPOR adjustment and dual-reset polarity are unnecessary - reduces BOM count where legacy compatibility is prioritized. |
| MAX6326UR31-T | 3.08V threshold (±2.5%), 1.6s watchdog, active-low reset only, 20µA max IDD at 3V, SOT23-5 package - no PFI/PFO or manual reset input. | Lacks auxiliary monitoring, manual reset, and dual-output capability; limited to basic VDD supervision in space-constrained applications. | Choose MAX6326UR31-T only for ultra-small footprint requirements where PFI, MR, and RST are omitted - not a functional substitute for ISL88708IB831Z's full feature set. |
Compared with ISL88706IB831Z and MAX6326UR31-T, the ISL88708IB831Z uniquely delivers CPOR-adjustable POR timing, simultaneous active-high/active-low reset outputs, and integrated PFI/PFO monitoring - enabling single-chip supervision of complex multi-rail, battery-backed, or watchdog-critical systems without external components.

FAQ
What is the exact VDD voltage threshold for ISL88708IB831Z?
The ISL88708IB831Z has a factory-programmed VDD voltage threshold of 3.09V with ±1.8% accuracy over temperature (–40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 2) and Electrical Specifications (page 5) of FN8092 Rev 6.00, where VTH1 min/typ/max = 3.034V/3.090V/3.146V. The "B831Z" suffix explicitly denotes the 3.09V variant.
Does ISL88708IB831Z support adjustable power-on reset timeout?
Yes, the ISL88708IB831Z supports adjustable power-on reset timeout via the CPOR pin. Connecting an external capacitor from CPOR to ground scales tPOR from the nominal 200ms (CPOR open) to longer durations - e.g., 50pF extends it to ~1.4s. This feature is exclusive to ISL88707/ISL88708 variants and is documented in Figures 3 and 11 of FN8092 Rev 6.00.
What are the key differences between ISL88708IB831Z and ISL88706IB831Z?
The ISL88708IB831Z includes CPOR for adjustable tPOR and both RST (active-low) and RST (active-high) outputs, whereas ISL88706IB831Z offers only RST and no CPOR pin. Both share identical 3.09V VDD threshold, SOIC-8 package, and –40°C to +85°C rating. The ISL88708IB831Z thus provides greater design flexibility for timing-critical or dual-logic-domain systems.
Can ISL88708IB831Z monitor voltages other than VDD?
Yes, the ISL88708IB831Z includes a dedicated PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin with a 1.25V threshold that drives the PFO (Power-Fail Output) pin. By adding a resistor divider to PFI, users can monitor auxiliary voltages above 1.25V - such as battery voltage or secondary supplies - for low-battery warning, presence detection, or OV/UV events, as shown in Figure 2 of FN8092 Rev 6.00.
What is the watchdog timer timeout period for ISL88708IB831Z?
The ISL88708IB831Z features a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6s, specified as 1.0s to 2.0s over temperature (page 6, tWDT parameter). The timer is cleared by any edge transition on the WDI pin or by assertion of MR. When expired, WDO pulls low periodically (~1.9s cycle, ~220ms duration) until WDI toggles again - providing robust firmware hang detection without software overhead.
