Product details
Overview
ISL88708IB844Z-TK from Renesas (formerly Intersil) is a microprocessor supervisor IC with dual reset outputs (active-high RST and active-low RST), 4.38V ±1.8% VDD threshold, 1.25V adjustable auxiliary voltage monitor (PFI/PFO), and 1.6s watchdog timer. It asserts reset during power-up, brownout, and manual trigger, supporting portable systems requiring precise supply supervision and low-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88708IB844Z-TK datasheet, ISL88708IB844Z-TK pinout, ISL88708IB844Z-TK application, or ISL88708IB844Z-TK equivalent, key selection criteria include its 4.38V trip point accuracy, CPOR-adjustable 200ms+ power-on reset delay, dual RST outputs, ultra-low 10µA supply current at 3V, and immunity to power-supply transients.
Technical Context
The ISL88708IB844Z-TK integrates three core supervision functions: precision VDD monitoring with hysteresis (46mV for 4.38V variant), an independent 1.25V PFI comparator with user-adjustable threshold via external resistor divider, and a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions. Its POR circuit ensures reliable system initialization before microprocessor execution begins.
Unlike ISL88705/88706, the ISL88708 includes both complementary RST outputs and the CPOR pin for extending tPOR beyond 200ms using an external capacitor-enabling flexible timing control in FPGA configuration or multi-rail sequencing applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold | 4.38V ±1.8% - factory-trimmed trip point ensures accurate +3.3V rail supervision without external calibration |
| Supply Current | 10µA max at 3V - enables multi-year battery life in portable equipment with continuous supervision |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6s typical - provides sufficient margin for firmware execution loops while detecting lockups |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V fixed reference - supports low-battery warning or auxiliary supply monitoring down to 1.25V |
| Reset Pulse Width | 140–260ms min - guarantees processor reset hold time meets ARM/Cortex and most MCU requirements |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems and computing platforms |
| Reset Valid Down To | VDD = 1V - maintains functional reset assertion during deep brownout conditions |
Pinout & Package
ISL88708IB844Z-TK is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package (M8.15 outline), 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 |
| 2 VDD | Power Supply Input | Main supply rail monitored at 4.38V threshold; reset asserted if VDD drops below trip point or during power-up |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, watchdog, and output drivers |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Auxiliary voltage monitor input referenced to 1.25V; used for low-battery detection or secondary supply supervision |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output that goes high when PFI > 1.25V; can drive MR for automatic reset on auxiliary supply failure |
| 6 CPOR | Adjustable POR Delay Input | Capacitor connection point to extend power-on reset timeout beyond nominal 200ms (e.g., 50pF → ~1.4s) |
| 7 RST | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output driven high to VDD during reset; compatible with logic inputs requiring active-high assertion |
| 8 RST | Active-Low Reset Output | PMOS open-drain output pulled low during reset; supports wired-OR configurations and legacy MCU reset pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual complementary reset outputs | RST (active-high push-pull) and RST (active-low open-drain) eliminate need for external level-shifting or inverters |
| Adjustable power-on reset delay | CPOR pin enables precise tPOR extension (e.g., 200ms → 1.4s with 50pF) for FPGA configuration or multi-voltage sequencing |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 10µA max at 3V allows integration into always-on battery-backed subsystems without significant drain |
| Immunity to supply transients | Hysteresis (44mV) and internal filtering prevent false resets from noise or short-duration droops on VDD |
| Flexible auxiliary voltage monitoring | PFI/PFO pair supports custom thresholds >1.25V via resistor divider, enabling detection of 5V, 12V, or negative rails |

FAQ
What is the exact VDD reset threshold voltage for ISL88708IB844Z-TK?
The ISL88708IB844Z-TK has a factory-programmed VDD threshold of 4.38V, specified with ±1.8% accuracy over temperature. 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 are listed as 4.301V/4.380V/4.459V at +25°C.
Does ISL88708IB844Z-TK support both active-high and active-low reset outputs simultaneously?
Yes, ISL88708IB844Z-TK provides two independent reset outputs: pin 7 (RST) is active-high push-pull, and pin 8 (RST) is active-low open-drain. This dual-output capability is explicitly documented in the Pin Descriptions (Page 4) and Functional Block Diagram (Page 3), distinguishing it from ISL88705/88706 variants which offer only one reset output type.
How is the power-on reset timeout adjusted on ISL88708IB844Z-TK?
The ISL88708IB844Z-TK uses the CPOR pin (pin 6) to adjust power-on reset timeout. Connecting an external capacitor from CPOR to GND extends tPOR beyond the nominal 200ms - for example, a 50pF capacitor increases it to approximately 1.4s. This feature is exclusive to ISL88707 and ISL88708 variants, as stated in the "Adjusting tPOR" section (Page 7) and confirmed in the Pin Descriptions (Page 4).
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on ISL88708IB844Z-TK?
The PFI (pin 4) is an auxiliary voltage input referenced to a 1.25V internal comparator; when PFI falls below 1.25V, PFO (pin 5) goes low. This pair enables low-battery detection, power-fail warning, or secondary supply monitoring. The PFI threshold is adjustable above 1.25V using an external resistor divider, as shown in Figure 2 (Page 7) and detailed in the Power-Fail Detection specifications (Page 6).
What is the maximum supply current consumption of ISL88708IB844Z-TK?
The ISL88708IB844Z-TK consumes a maximum of 10µA at VDD = 3V and 19µA at VDD = 5V under watchdog-inactive conditions, as specified in the Electrical Specifications table (Page 5). This ultra-low current enables use in battery-critical applications such as portable instrumentation and always-on sensor nodes.
