Product details
Overview
ISL88708IP831Z 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 timeout 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, draws ≤10µA at 3V, and asserts reset down to VDD = 1V - used in battery-powered embedded systems for reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the ISL88708IP831Z datasheet, ISL88708IP831Z pinout, ISL88708IP831Z application, or ISL88708IP831Z equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in FN8092 Rev 6.00 and official ordering data for ISL88708IP831Z.
Technical Context
The ISL88708IP831Z implements a precision voltage supervision architecture with ±1.8% VTH1 accuracy at 3.09V, hysteresis of 37mV, and immunity to power-supply transients. Its dual-reset outputs (push-pull RST and PMOS-open-drain RST) support both logic-level and rail-referenced reset signaling in mixed-voltage systems.
It integrates three independent monitoring paths: primary VDD supervision with 200ms nominal tPOR (extendable via external CPOR capacitor), auxiliary PFI input with 1.25V threshold for low-battery warning or power-fail detection, and a 1.6s watchdog timer cleared by WDI edge transitions - all operating with ultra-low 10µA supply current at 3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Threshold (VTH1) | 3.09V ±1.8% - factory-trimmed trip point ensures accurate +3.3V rail monitoring without external resistors. |
| Supply Current (IDD) | ≤10µA at 3V - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered portable equipment. |
| Reset Pulse Width (tPOR) | 140–260ms (nominal 200ms), extendable via CPOR capacitor - guarantees stable MCU initialization before release. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25V ±50mV - supports configurable low-battery detection using external resistor divider. |
| Watchdog Timeout (tWDT) | 1.0–2.0s (typical 1.6s) - provides robust firmware hang detection without requiring precise timing margins. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including controllers and instrumentation. |
| Reset Valid Down To | VDD = 1V - maintains functional reset assertion during deep brownout conditions. |
Pinout & Package
ISL88708IP831Z is housed in an 8-lead PDIP package (RoHS-compliant, MDP0031 outline), through-hole mountable, wave-solder compatible only - not suitable for reflow.
| 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 | Main Power Supply Input | Monitored rail input; reset asserted when voltage falls below 3.09V threshold with 37mV hysteresis. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal comparators, watchdog, and output drivers. |
| 4 PFI | Auxiliary Voltage Monitor Input | Accepts external voltage (e.g., battery or secondary rail); asserts PFO low when input <1.25V. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-high open-drain output; signals low-battery or power-fail condition to host controller or enable circuit. |
| 6 CPOR | Adjustable POR Time-Out Delay Input | Capacitor-to-ground connection extends tPOR beyond 200ms - e.g., 50pF yields ~1.4s delay. |
| 7 RST | Active-Low Reset Output | PMOS open-drain output pulled low during reset; requires external pull-up for logic-level compatibility. |
| 8 RST | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output driven high to VDD during reset; eliminates need for external pull-up in 3.3V/5V systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual complementary reset outputs | RST (active-low, open-drain) and RST (active-high, push-pull) enable direct interface with diverse MCU reset inputs without level-shifting. |
| Adjustable power-on reset timeout | CPOR pin accepts external capacitor to scale tPOR from 200ms to >1s - supports FPGA configuration or slow-ramping supplies. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 10µA max at 3V allows integration into always-on battery backup circuits without significant drain. |
| 1.25V auxiliary voltage monitor | PFI/PFO pair detects low battery or auxiliary rail failure with user-adjustable threshold via resistor divider (down to 1.25V). |
| Watchdog timer with edge-triggered clear | 1.6s timeout cleared on any WDI rising/falling edge - tolerates jittered or irregular firmware heartbeat signals. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Portable Equipment | Notebook/Desktop Power Management |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISL88708IB831Z | Same electrical specs and pinout, but SOIC-8 (M8.15) package instead of PDIP-8. | Surface-mount assembly; higher thermal resistance (θJA = 110°C/W vs. 83°C/W for PDIP). | Select ISL88708IB831Z for automated SMT production; ISL88708IP831Z remains valid for through-hole prototyping or legacy wave-solder lines. |
| MAX6326UT31D3+ | 3.08V threshold (±2.5%), no CPOR adjustability, single RST output, 1.6µA IDD at 3V. | Lacks dual-reset outputs and programmable tPOR; optimized for ultra-low-power static monitoring only. | Choose MAX6326UT31D3+ where minimal current draw dominates over flexibility; retain ISL88708IP831Z when adjustable timing or complementary reset signaling is required. |
Compared with ISL88708IB831Z and MAX6326UT31D3+, the ISL88708IP831Z uniquely combines through-hole PDIP packaging, field-adjustable POR delay, and dual RST/RST outputs - making it optimal for industrial designs needing mechanical robustness, timing customization, and mixed-voltage reset interfacing.

FAQ
What is the exact voltage threshold and accuracy of the ISL88708IP831Z?
The ISL88708IP831Z has a factory-programmed VDD voltage trip point of 3.09V with ±1.8% accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +85°C), as specified in FN8092 Rev 6.00 Table on page 5. This value is confirmed in the Ordering Information table where "I31Z" suffix denotes 3.09V. The device also provides 37mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during threshold crossings.
Does the ISL88708IP831Z support adjustable power-on reset timeout?
Yes, the ISL88708IP831Z supports adjustable tPOR via the CPOR pin. Connecting an external capacitor from CPOR to ground extends the nominal 200ms reset timeout - for example, a 50pF capacitor increases tPOR to approximately 1.4s. This feature is explicitly enabled on ISL88707 and ISL88708 variants per Figure 3 and page 7 of FN8092.
What are the key differences between ISL88708IP831Z and ISL88708IB831Z?
The ISL88708IP831Z and ISL88708IB831Z share identical electrical specifications and pin functions, but differ in package: IP831Z uses 8-lead PDIP (MDP0031), while IB831Z uses 8-lead SOIC (M8.15). PDIP supports wave soldering only; SOIC is surface-mount compatible. Both are RoHS-compliant and operate across −40°C to +85°C.
Can the ISL88708IP831Z monitor voltages other than VDD?
Yes, the ISL88708IP831Z includes a dedicated PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin with a 1.25V internal reference. By connecting an external resistor divider to PFI, users can monitor auxiliary voltages such as battery levels or secondary rails - for instance, detecting a 2.5V battery drop to 2.0V using a 1:1 divider. PFO then signals the condition as a logic-high output.
Is the watchdog timer in ISL88708IP831Z enabled by default?
No, the watchdog timer in ISL88708IP831Z is disabled when WDI is left floating or connected to a high-impedance state. It activates only when WDI receives periodic edge transitions (rising or falling) within the 1.6s timeout window. This behavior is documented on page 4 (Pin Descriptions) and page 8 (Principles of Operation) of FN8092 Rev 6.00.
