Product details
Overview
STM818LDS6E from STMicroelectronics is a 5 V microprocessor supervisor IC with integrated battery switchover, chip-enable gating, and watchdog timer-designed to protect external low-power static RAM (LPSRAM) during power loss. It guarantees RST assertion down to VCC = 1.0 V, delivers 7 ns max propagation delay for chip-enable gating, and features 200 ms typical reset timeout (trec) and 1.6 sec typical watchdog timeout.
For engineers reviewing the STM818LDS6E datasheet, STM818LDS6E pinout, STM818LDS6E application, or STM818LDS6E equivalent, this device is selected for systems requiring deterministic reset timing, seamless SRAM backup control, low-quiescent-current supervision (<40 µA), and active-low/high dual-reset outputs in industrial-grade operation (–40 °C to +85 °C).
Technical Context
The STM818LDS6E implements a precision voltage comparator monitoring VCC against a 4.63 V reset threshold (VRST), with hysteresis enabling clean power-up/power-down transitions. Its internal P-channel MOSFET switch enables automatic VCC-to-VBAT switchover at the lesser of VRST or VBAT (VSO), supporting battery-freshness seal activation and zero standby drain during storage.
Unlike other members of the STM8xx family, STM818 uniquely integrates chip-enable gating: E input controls ECON output only when reset is inactive, with 15 µs minimum pulse width guarantee and push-pull drive-enabling cycle-accurate LPSRAM enable/disable synchronized to reset state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC operating voltage | 5 V nominal; supports stable supervision across full industrial range without external regulation. |
| Reset threshold (VRST) | 4.63 V ±1.5%; ensures reliable MCU reset before critical logic voltage collapse. |
| trec (reset timeout) | 200 ms typical; provides sufficient hold time for processor initialization after power recovery. |
| Watchdog timeout (tWD) | 1.6 sec typical; detects firmware lockup with minimal latency while avoiding false triggers. |
| Chip-enable propagation delay | 7 ns max; enables precise LPSRAM access control aligned with CPU bus cycles. |
| Supply current (ICC) | 40 µA typical; minimizes system-level quiescent power in always-on supervisory mode. |
| Battery supply current (IVBAT) | 0.4 µA typical; extends backup battery life beyond years in SRAM-retention applications. |
Pinout & Package
STM818LDS6E is housed in an SO8 (Small Outline 8-pin) package, measuring 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.75 mm, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and gull-wing leads compatible with automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: RST | Active-high reset output | Push-pull output asserted high during reset; drives MCU reset input directly without pull-up. |
| 2: VOUT | LPSRAM supply output | Switched output sourced from VCC or VBAT; powers external low-power SRAM during main power loss. |
| 3: PFO | Power-fail output | Push-pull signal indicating imminent VCC drop; not implemented on STM818 per datasheet Table 1. |
| 4: ECON | Conditioned chip-enable output | Asserted low only when E = low AND reset inactive; enables cycle-synchronized LPSRAM gating. |
| 5: E | Chip-enable input | Direct control input for ECON; tied low to enable gating; open or grounded if unused. |
| 6: MR | Manual reset input | Active-low push-button interface with internal 40 kΩ pull-up; debounced by trec timing. |
| 7: WDI | Watchdog input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling within 1.6 sec prevents reset; floating disables watchdog. |
| 8: VCC | Main supply input | 5 V primary power rail; monitored for reset assertion and used as VOUT source during normal operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Chip-enable gating with 7 ns max delay | Enables deterministic, sub-cycle LPSRAM enable/disable synchronized to CPU bus activity and reset state. |
| Guaranteed RST assertion to VCC = 1.0 V | Ensures robust reset signaling even during deep brown-out, preserving MCU state integrity. |
| Automatic battery switchover with freshness seal | Prevents battery discharge during storage; activates only after first VCC power-up, extending shelf life. |
| Dual active-low/high reset outputs (RST/RST) | Supports mixed-logic systems: drives both open-drain and push-pull reset inputs without level-shifting. |
| Low 40 µA supply current (typ) | Reduces system-level standby power without compromising supervision responsiveness or accuracy. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Backup | Medical Device Data Retention |

FAQ
Does STM818LDS6E support external watchdog disable via pin configuration?
Yes-watchdog functionality is disabled when the WDI pin is left floating or tri-stated. The datasheet specifies maximum allowable leakage current (10 µA) and load capacitance (200 pF) under this condition. No strap pin or register setting is required; hardware-level disable is achieved by omitting the WDI connection.
What is the maximum VBAT voltage allowed relative to VCC?
VBAT may exceed VCC without damage or functional impact. The internal switchover circuit uses the lesser of VRST (4.63 V) or VBAT as the switchover threshold (VSO), ensuring optimal battery utilization. Datasheet Section 2.4 explicitly permits VBAT > VCC and recommends connecting VBAT to VCC if no battery is used.
How does the battery freshness seal function on STM818LDS6E?
The battery freshness seal prevents VBAT discharge during storage by blocking the internal switchover path until VCC first exceeds VRST. Once activated, the seal remains latched; reactivation requires cycling VCC below VRST and back above it, as detailed in Section 2.12 of the datasheet. This extends shelf life by eliminating standby battery drain.
Can ECON be used to gate multiple LPSRAM devices simultaneously?
Yes-ECON is a push-pull output rated for 8 mA sink/source, capable of driving multiple LPSRAM CE inputs in parallel. The 7 ns max propagation delay and guaranteed 15 µs minimum pulse width ensure setup/hold timing compliance across typical LPSRAM families, including Cypress CY14B101 and ON Semiconductor CAT24C02-compatible devices.
