Product details
Overview
X40431S14I-B from Xicor is a triple-voltage CPU supervisor IC with integrated 4Kbit EEPROM, active-low open-drain RESET output, and programmable voltage thresholds for VCC (V1), V2MON, and V3MON. It provides power-on reset (tPURST = 200 ms factory default), watchdog timer (25 ms / 200 ms / 1.4 s or off), and fault detection register - used in network storage controllers to ensure reliable boot sequencing and brownout recovery under multi-rail power conditions.
For engineers reviewing the X40431S14I-B datasheet, X40431S14I-B pinout, X40431S14I-B application, or X40431S14I-B equivalent, key selection criteria include its triple independent voltage monitoring capability (5V/3V/1.8V nominal thresholds), 400 kHz I²C-compatible 2-wire interface, Block Lock™ EEPROM protection, and manual reset debouncing - all in a 14-pin SOIC/TSSOP package.
Technical Context
The X40431S14I-B implements three independent comparator-based voltage monitors: V1 (VCC) with reset assertion down to 1 V, V2MON powered by V2MON itself (X40431 variant), and V3MON powered by V3MON input - enabling true supply independence for secondary/tertiary rail supervision. Its watchdog logic responds to SDA/SCL activity via I²C bus protocol, requiring Start–Clock Low–Clock High–Stop sequence to reset.
Reset generation uses a programmable power-up delay (tPURST = 50/200/400/800 ms) and supports both active-HIGH (X40430/34) and active-LOW (X40431/35) outputs; X40431S14I-B delivers active-LOW RESET via open-drain driver. The EEPROM array uses Direct Write™ cells (100,000 write cycles, 100-year data retention) with 16-byte page write mode and 5 ms typical write cycle time.

Pinout & Package
Package: 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) and TSSOP (Thin Shrink Small Outline Package), both RoHS-compliant and pin-compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 V2FAIL | Open-drain voltage fail indicator | Asserts LOW when V2MON < VTRIP2; no power-up delay - usable for immediate power-fail interrupt |
| 2 V2MON | Second voltage monitor input | Supplied by V2MON itself (X40431); monitors unregulated or auxiliary supply without external bias |
| 3 LOWLINE | Early VCC undervoltage flag | CMOS output goes LOW before RESET asserts - enables preemptive system shutdown or warning |
| 4 NC | No connect | Not internally bonded; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
| 5 MR | Debounced manual reset input | Active-LOW push-button interface with internal RC debounce - eliminates external RC network |
| 6 RESET | Active-LOW open-drain reset output | Drives system reset line; requires external pull-up; remains active for tPURST after release |
| 7 VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog comparators and digital logic; must be low-impedance |
| 8 SDA | Serial data bidirectional I²C line | Open-drain, requires pull-up; carries EEPROM data, control register writes, and watchdog restart commands |
| 9 SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock for I²C timing; synchronizes all read/write and watchdog reset sequences |
| 10 WP | Hardware write protect | HIGH disables all writes to EEPROM and registers - prevents accidental corruption during power transitions |
| 11 V3MON | Third voltage monitor input | Supplied by V3MON input; monitors third rail independently of VCC - critical for multi-supply SoC platforms |
| 12 V3FAIL | Open-drain third-rail fail indicator | Asserts LOW when V3MON < VTRIP3; no power-up delay - supports cascaded fault reporting |
| 13 WDO | Watchdog timeout output | Active-LOW open-drain signal indicating MCU hang; can drive external reset or interrupt controller |
| 14 VCC | Main supply voltage input | 2.7–5.5 V operation; powers internal logic, V1 monitor, and EEPROM interface - not used for V2MON/V3MON bias |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage supervision | Enables simultaneous monitoring of core, I/O, and auxiliary rails without shared reference or supply dependency |
| User-programmable VTRIP thresholds | Allows fine-tuning of reset points via high-voltage programming sequence - avoids external resistor dividers |
| Fault Detection Register (FDR) | Volatile status byte (0xFF) identifies exact reset cause (LV1F/LV2F/LV3F/WDF/MRF) - accelerates root-cause analysis |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM protection | Nonvolatile BP bit locks upper 256 bytes (100h–1FFh) - secures bootloader or security keys against overwrite |
| Low-power watchdog with four intervals | Configurable timeout prevents runaway code while minimizing current draw in sleep states |

FAQ
What voltage thresholds does X40431S14I-B support out-of-the-box?
The X40431S14I-B ships with factory-programmed thresholds: VTRIP1 = 4.35–4.45 V (VCC), VTRIP2 = 2.85–2.95 V (V2MON), and VTRIP3 = 1.65–1.75 V (V3MON), matching the "-B" variant designation for 5 V / 3 V / 1.8 V system voltages. These values are stored in nonvolatile trim cells and remain stable over temperature and time unless reprogrammed using the high-voltage VTRIP adjustment procedure.
Can X40431S14I-B monitor voltages below 1 V?
No - the X40431S14I-B's comparators require minimum operating headroom: VCC must be ≥2.7 V for full functionality, and V2MON/V3MON inputs require ≥1.0 V to assert their respective FAIL outputs. While RESET remains valid down to VCC = 1 V, the V2FAIL and V3FAIL outputs do not function below ~1.0 V due to internal comparator limitations specified in the datasheet.
How is the watchdog timer reset on X40431S14I-B?
The X40431S14I-B watchdog timer is reset by issuing a specific I²C sequence on the SDA/SCL lines: a START condition, followed by toggling SCL from HIGH to LOW, then HIGH again, and ending with a STOP condition - all while SDA remains HIGH except during START/STOP edges. This sequence must occur within the selected timeout interval (25 ms / 200 ms / 1.4 s) to prevent WDO assertion.
Does X40431S14I-B support I²C standard-mode or fast-mode?
The X40431S14I-B supports Fast-mode I²C operation up to 400 kHz, as confirmed by its AC electrical characteristics table. It is fully compatible with standard 100 kHz I²C controllers but achieves faster EEPROM configuration and status reads at 400 kHz - provided the master device and PCB layout meet rise/fall time requirements (≤300 ns).
Is the EEPROM in X40431S14I-B protected against accidental writes during power transitions?
Yes - the X40431S14I-B incorporates dual hardware and software write protection: the WP pin (active-HIGH) disables all writes when asserted, and internal power-up/power-down detection circuitry automatically inhibits writes when VCC is outside 2.7–5.5 V. Additionally, Block Lock™ allows permanent locking of the upper 256 bytes via nonvolatile BP bit, preventing overwrite of critical firmware parameters stored in X40431S14I-B.
