Product details
Overview
X40415S8I-C from Intersil is a dual-voltage supervisor IC with integrated 4kbit EEPROM, watchdog timer, and power-on reset control - featuring programmable VTRIP1 (2.55–2.65V) and VTRIP2 (1.25–1.35V) thresholds, 200ms default power-on reset timeout, and 200ms watchdog interval. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V and serves as a system-level CPU supervisor in industrial embedded controllers requiring reliable brownout detection and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X40415S8I-C datasheet, X40415S8I-C pinout, X40415S8I-C application, or X40415S8I-C equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual independent voltage monitoring (VCC + V2MON), open-drain WDO/RESET outputs, 400kHz I²C-compatible 2-wire interface, Block Lock™ EEPROM protection, and factory-programmed reset timing - all in an 8-pin SOIC package.
Technical Context
The X40415S8I-C implements two independent comparator-based voltage monitors: V1MON (VCC) with user-adjustable trip point (2.55–2.65V) and V2MON (second supply) with adjustable trip point (1.25–1.35V), where V2MON is powered by VCC (unlike X40411). Its watchdog timer uses SDA/SCL edge detection to restart on valid I²C start/stop sequences, with nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits selecting 25ms/200ms/1.4s/off intervals.
Power-on reset assertion is controlled by PUP1/PUP0 bits (default 01 = 200ms tPURST), while fault detection register (FDR) provides volatile status bits for LV1F, LV2F, and WDF. The 4kbit EEPROM is organized as 512 × 8, supports 16-byte page writes, and features Direct Write™ cells rated for ≥100,000 write cycles and ≥100 years data retention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP1 Range | 2.55V–2.65V: Factory-set low-VCC reset threshold; reprogrammable via high-voltage sequence on WDO pin. |
| VTRIP2 Range | 1.25V–1.35V: Adjustable second-supply fail threshold; requires VCC power (X40415 variant). |
| Power-on Reset Timeout | 200ms (factory default): Configurable to 50ms/200ms/400ms/800ms via PUP1/PUP0 bits in control register. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 200ms (factory default): Selectable 25ms/200ms/1.4s/off via WD1/WD0 bits; triggered by missing SDA edge during SCL toggle. |
| EEPROM Capacity | 4kbit (512 × 8): Supports 16-byte page writes; 5ms typical write cycle; Block Lock™ protects upper/lower half or none. |
| I²C Interface Speed | 400kHz max: Fully compatible with standard-mode and fast-mode I²C buses; open-drain SDA/SCL with internal logic. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V: Operates across 3V and 5V systems; RESET remains valid down to VCC = 1V. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: V2FAIL | Open-drain V2 voltage fail output | Asserts LOW when V2MON < VTRIP2; no power-up delay; requires external pull-up for active-HIGH logic use. |
| 2: V2MON | Second-supply monitor input | Input referenced to VCC (X40415); monitors 1.1–1.2V or 1.5V rails directly or via resistor divider; tied to VSS/VCC if unused. |
| 3: RESET/RESET | Active-HIGH CMOS reset output | Asserts HIGH when VCC < VTRIP1; holds active until VCC exceeds VTRIP1 + tPURST (200ms default); drives TTL loads. |
| 4: VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance trace. |
| 5: SDA | Bidirectional I²C data line | Open-drain serial data I/O; requires external pull-up; used for EEPROM access, watchdog restart, and VTRIP programming. |
| 6: SCL | I²C clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all serial transfers; toggles during watchdog restart and memory read/write. |
| 7: WDO | Open-drain watchdog output | Asserts LOW on watchdog timeout; used to trigger system reset or interrupt; requires external pull-up. |
| 8: VCC | Main supply voltage input | 2.7V–5.5V power source; powers internal logic, comparators, EEPROM, and V2MON circuitry (X40415). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage supervision | Simultaneous monitoring of VCC (V1MON) and secondary rail (V2MON) with separate, field-programmable thresholds. |
| User-reprogrammable VTRIP voltages | VTRIP1 and VTRIP2 thresholds adjusted in-system using WDO pin HV programming - no external programmer required. |
| Nonvolatile control register | PUP1/PUP0, WD1/WD0, and BP bits retain settings across power cycles; modified via three-step I²C write sequence. |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM protection | Selective write-protection of upper 256 bytes (100h–1FFh) or full array lock; prevents accidental firmware/config corruption. |
| Fault Detection Register (FDR) | Volatile 8-bit register (address 0FFh) captures cause of last reset: LV1F, LV2F, or WDF - enabling root-cause diagnostics. |
Applications
| Industrial Process Controller | Network Storage Array |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-voltage supervisor with EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6816ESE+ | Single-voltage supervisor (5V only); no EEPROM; push-pull RESET; fixed 200ms POR. | Lacks V2MON, EEPROM, and programmability - suitable only for basic 5V reset-only use cases. | Choose only if system requires minimal footprint and no secondary rail monitoring or nonvolatile storage. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-voltage supervisor (adjustable thresholds) with no EEPROM; open-drain RESET; 2.93V/3.08V fixed options. | Requires external EEPROM for configuration storage; no watchdog or fault register; lower quiescent current (1.5µA). | Select when ultra-low standby power is critical and external memory is already present in design. |
Compared with MAX6816ESE+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the X40415S8I-C uniquely integrates EEPROM, dual adjustable voltage monitoring, and watchdog in one SOIC-8 package - eliminating board space and interconnect complexity at the cost of higher standby current (6–25µA).

FAQ
What is the factory-default VTRIP1 and VTRIP2 voltage for X40415S8I-C?
The X40415S8I-C ships with VTRIP1 set to 2.60V (range 2.55–2.65V) and VTRIP2 set to 1.30V (range 1.25–1.35V), per the "-C" variant designation in the selection table. These values are nonvolatile and remain stable over temperature and time unless reprogrammed using the WDO high-voltage sequence specified in the FN8116.0 datasheet.
Does X40415S8I-C support I²C bus speeds above 100kHz?
Yes, the X40415S8I-C supports up to 400kHz I²C operation - confirmed by its "400kHz 2-wire interface" specification and timing diagrams in the FN8116.0 datasheet. It complies with standard-mode and fast-mode I²C electrical requirements, including open-drain SDA/SCL with appropriate pull-up sizing.
How does the watchdog timer in X40415S8I-C get reset?
The X40415S8I-C watchdog timer is reset by a specific I²C sequence: a HIGH-to-LOW transition on SDA while SCL is toggled from HIGH to LOW, followed immediately by a STOP condition. This sequence must occur within the selected timeout period (e.g., 200ms) to prevent WDO assertion - no dedicated watchdog feed pin is required.
Can the EEPROM in X40415S8I-C be written to during normal system operation?
Yes, the 4kbit EEPROM in X40415S8I-C supports in-system writes via its 2-wire interface at any time - provided the Write Enable Latch (WEL) and Register Write Enable Latch (RWEL) are properly set. Page writes complete in 5ms typical; built-in power-up/power-down protection prevents corruption during supply transitions.
Is X40415S8I-C pin-compatible with other members of the X4041x family?
Yes, X40415S8I-C shares identical 8-pin SOIC pinout and electrical interface with X40410, X40411, and X40414 - including SDA, SCL, RESET/RESET, V2FAIL, V2MON, WDO, VSS, and VCC. However, functional differences exist: X40415 uses VCC-powered V2MON (vs. V2MON-powered in X40411) and has distinct VTRIP ranges, requiring schematic review before substitution.
