Product details
Overview
X40430S14I-A from Xicor (now part of Renesas) is a triple-voltage supervisor IC with integrated 4Kbit EEPROM, watchdog timer, and power-on reset logic. It monitors VCC (V1), V2MON, and V3MON at factory-programmed thresholds (4.55–4.65V, 2.95–3.05V, 1.65–1.75V), asserts active-HIGH RESET, supports 400kHz I²C interface, and operates from 2.7V to 5.5V. It is used in network servers for coordinated power-fail detection and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X40430S14I-A datasheet, X40430S14I-A pinout, X40430S14I-A application, or X40430S14I-A equivalent, key selection considerations include its triple independent voltage monitoring capability, programmable reset timeout (50/200/400/800ms), selectable watchdog intervals (25ms/200ms/1.4s/off), 4Kbit Block Lock™ EEPROM with 5ms write cycle, and 14-pin SOIC/TSSOP package compatibility.
Technical Context
The X40430S14I-A implements three independent voltage comparators - one referenced to VCC (V1MON), one to V2MON (supplied by V2MON itself), and one to V3MON (self-supplied) - enabling simultaneous monitoring of regulated and unregulated rails without external components. Its fault detection register (FDR) provides volatile status bits (LV1F/LV2F/LV3F/WDF/MRF) to identify reset cause.
It integrates a nonvolatile control register (at 1FFh) managing watchdog timer period (WD1/WD0), power-up reset delay (PUP1/PUP0), and EEPROM block lock (BP), all configurable via I²C using a 3-step write sequence requiring WEL/RWEL latching. The EEPROM uses Direct Write™ cells rated for 100,000 write cycles and 100-year data retention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP1 | 4.55–4.65V: Factory-set threshold for primary VCC supervision; triggers active-HIGH RESET during brownout. |
| VTRIP2 | 2.95–3.05V: Factory-set threshold for secondary voltage (V2MON); drives open-drain V2FAIL output. |
| VTRIP3 | 1.65–1.75V: Factory-set threshold for tertiary voltage (V3MON); drives open-drain V3FAIL output. |
| tPURST | 200ms (factory default): Power-up reset timeout ensures stable VCC and oscillator before processor release. |
| Watchdog interval | Disabled (factory default): Configurable to 25ms/200ms/1.4s via nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits; restarts on I²C START-STOP sequence. |
| I²C speed | 400kHz: Full-speed mode support enables fast EEPROM access and real-time status reads without bus contention. |
| EEPROM endurance | 100,000 write cycles: Sufficient for firmware revision logging, calibration storage, and field-upgrade metadata in industrial systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) and TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), both RoHS-compliant and surface-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 V2FAIL | Open-drain fail indicator | Asserts LOW when V2MON < VTRIP2; used for early power-fail interrupt or OR'd with RESET for system halt. |
| 2 V2MON | Secondary voltage input | Direct connection point for 3.0V rail monitoring; comparator powered by V2MON itself (X40430/X40431). |
| 3 LOWLINE | Early VCC warning output | CMOS HIGH/LOW signal asserting earlier than RESET; no tPURST delay - ideal for preemptive shutdown sequencing. |
| 4 NC | No connect | Unbonded pin; must remain floating per datasheet - no routing or termination required. |
| 5 MR | Manual reset input | Debounced active-LOW input; initiates full system reset with tPURST hold time after release. |
| 6 RESET | Active-HIGH reset output | CMOS output asserted HIGH during VCC brownout or MR assertion; releases only after VCC > VTRIP1 + tPURST. |
| 7 VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
| 8 SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain interface supporting standard/fast-mode I²C; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 2.2kΩ). |
| 9 SCL | I²C clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all EEPROM reads/writes and register accesses. |
| 10 WP | Hardware write protect | Active-HIGH signal disabling all EEPROM and register writes; internal 10MΩ pull-down ensures safe default state. |
| 11 V3MON | Tertiary voltage input | Direct connection for 1.8V rail monitoring; comparator powered by V3MON - remains functional even if VCC = 0. |
| 12 V3FAIL | Open-drain tertiary fail indicator | Asserts LOW when V3MON < VTRIP3; enables independent notification of auxiliary supply failure. |
| 13 WDO | Watchdog timeout output | Open-drain active-LOW signal indicating microcontroller hang; can drive external reset or interrupt controller. |
| 14 VCC | Main supply input | 2.7–5.5V operating range powers core logic, V1MON comparator, and I²C interface; also supplies RESET driver. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage supervision | Monitors VCC, V2MON, and V3MON simultaneously with self-powered comparators - eliminates need for external resistive dividers or auxiliary supervisors. |
| Programmable reset timeout | Four selectable tPURST values (50/200/400/800ms) stored in nonvolatile PUP1/PUP0 bits - matches diverse processor boot timing requirements without hardware changes. |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM protection | Configurable write protection for entire array or upper half (256 bytes) via BP bit - prevents accidental overwrites of critical boot parameters or calibration data. |
| Adjustable voltage thresholds | VTRIP1/VTRIP2/VTRIP3 reprogrammable via high-voltage sequence on WDO pin - enables fine-tuning for ±1% tolerance rails without redesigning BOM. |
| Fault Detection Register (FDR) | Volatile 8-bit register (0FFh) capturing root cause of last reset (LV1F/LV2F/LV3F/WDF/MRF) - enables deterministic post-mortem diagnostics in field-deployed equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-voltage supervisor with EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6824EUT+T | Single-supply supervisor (VCC only); no V2MON/V3MON inputs; 256-byte EEPROM; fixed 200ms tPURST. | Lacks independent secondary/tertiary rail monitoring - requires external comparators for multi-rail systems. | Select when only primary VCC supervision is needed and board space is constrained; not suitable for true triple-rail applications. |
| TPS386000RGPT | Triple-voltage supervisor with 128-byte SRAM (not EEPROM); no integrated memory; 6-pin WSON package; fixed thresholds only. | No nonvolatile storage for configuration or fault logs - requires external SPI EEPROM for persistent data. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where fault history is logged externally and precise threshold adjustment is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6824EUT+T and TPS386000RGPT, the X40430S14I-A uniquely combines triple independent voltage monitoring, field-adjustable thresholds, and 4Kbit EEPROM in a single 14-pin package - enabling compact, self-contained power integrity solutions for complex multi-rail embedded systems without external components or firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the factory-default reset timeout (tPURST) setting for the X40430S14I-A?
The X40430S14I-A ships with tPURST set to 200ms, controlled by PUP1/PUP0 bits (01 binary) in the nonvolatile control register. This value ensures sufficient stabilization time for most 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers before releasing the active-HIGH RESET signal. The timeout can be reconfigured to 50ms, 400ms, or 800ms via I²C write sequence without hardware modification, and the new setting persists across power cycles. The X40430S14I-A's tPURST accuracy is ±10% over temperature.
How does the X40430S14I-A handle voltage monitoring when VCC drops to 0V?
The X40430S14I-A maintains functionality of V2MON and V3MON comparators even when VCC = 0V because their comparators are powered directly by the respective input pins (V2MON and V3MON), not by VCC. This allows the device to detect failures on secondary and tertiary rails independently of main supply status - critical for detecting unregulated supply collapse in systems with backup batteries or auxiliary converters. However, V1MON (VCC monitoring) and the RESET output cease operation below 1V VCC, as specified in the X40430S14I-A datasheet.
Can the X40430S14I-A's EEPROM be written to while the watchdog timer is enabled?
Yes, the X40430S14I-A's 4Kbit EEPROM can be written to while the watchdog timer is enabled. The I²C interface operates independently of the watchdog circuit - EEPROM writes use SDA/SCL communication and do not interfere with WDO assertion. However, during an EEPROM write cycle (typical 5ms), the device ignores all I²C commands including watchdog restart sequences, so the watchdog timer must be configured with a timeout longer than the maximum EEPROM write duration (10ms max) to avoid spurious resets. The X40430S14I-A's watchdog disable state (WD1/WD0 = 11) is factory default.
What is the purpose of the LOWLINE pin on the X40430S14I-A, and how does it differ from RESET?
The LOWLINE pin on the X40430S14I-A is a CMOS output that asserts LOW when VCC falls below VTRIP1, but unlike RESET, it has no power-up reset delay (tPURST) and transitions immediately. This makes LOWLINE ideal for early-warning functions such as initiating graceful shutdown, disabling non-critical peripherals, or triggering backup power switchover before the full system reset occurs. RESET remains active for the full tPURST duration after VCC recovery, ensuring processor reset completeness, whereas LOWLINE returns HIGH as soon as VCC exceeds VTRIP1.
How is the fault cause of a reset determined using the X40430S14I-A?
The X40430S14I-A stores reset cause information in its volatile Fault Detection Register (FDR) at address 0FFh. After any reset event, bits LV1F (VCC fail), LV2F (V2MON fail), LV3F (V3MON fail), WDF (watchdog timeout), and MRF (manual reset) are cleared to '0' to indicate the triggering condition. The host microcontroller reads this register via I²C immediately after reset to determine root cause, then writes 0xFF to reinitialize the FDR for next-cycle monitoring. This diagnostic capability is intrinsic to the X40430S14I-A and requires no external logic or additional firmware overhead.
