Product details
Overview
X40431V14-C from Xicor (now part of Renesas) is a triple-voltage supervisor IC with integrated 4Kbit EEPROM, watchdog timer, and manual reset input - designed for system-level power monitoring and nonvolatile configuration storage in embedded controllers. It monitors VCC, V2MON, and V3MON at factory-programmed thresholds (4.55–4.65 V, 2.85–2.95 V, and 1.65–1.75 V respectively), asserts active-low RESET and WDO outputs, and supports I2C-compatible 2-wire interface up to 400 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the X40431V14-C datasheet, X40431V14-C pinout, X40431V14-C application, or X40431V14-C equivalent, this device serves as a single-chip solution for brownout detection, power-fail warning, watchdog supervision, and secure parameter storage - with programmable reset timeout (200 ms default), adjustable voltage thresholds, and Block Lock™ EEPROM protection.
Technical Context
The X40431V14-C implements three independent voltage comparators feeding into fault-detection logic, with separate open-drain V2FAIL and V3FAIL outputs and a CMOS LOWLINE signal for early VCC undervoltage indication. Its watchdog timer restarts on valid I2C START/STOP sequences on SDA/SCL and offers selectable timeouts (25 ms, 200 ms, 1.4 s, or disabled) via nonvolatile control bits.
Supervision logic includes power-on reset generation with programmable tPURST (50/200/400/800 ms), debounced manual reset input (MR), and a fault detection register (FDR) that latches cause-of-reset events (LV1F/LV2F/LV3F/WDF/MRF). The 4Kbit EEPROM uses Direct Write™ technology (100k write cycles, 100-year retention) and supports 16-byte page writes with 5 ms typical cycle time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP1 | 4.55–4.65 V: Factory-set primary supply monitor threshold for VCC, enabling reliable 5 V system reset assertion before brownout. |
| VTRIP2 | 2.85–2.95 V: Factory-set secondary monitor threshold for V2MON, supporting 3.0 V rail supervision without external dividers. |
| VTRIP3 | 1.65–1.75 V: Factory-set tertiary monitor threshold for V3MON, enabling direct 1.8 V rail monitoring with fail-safe signaling. |
| tPURST | 200 ms (default): Programmable power-up reset timeout ensuring stable oscillator and FPGA configuration before processor release. |
| Watchdog interval | 200 ms (factory default): Nonvolatile watchdog timeout preventing runaway code in microcontrollers without software intervention. |
| I2C interface | 400 kHz max: Full-speed 2-wire bus compatibility enabling fast EEPROM read/write and real-time status register access. |
| EEPROM endurance | 100,000 write cycles: Guaranteed minimum reprogramming cycles for critical calibration or configuration data storage. |
| Standby current | 6 µA (watchdog off): Ultra-low quiescent current preserving battery life in always-on supervisory applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead SOIC (150 mil width) and TSSOP - RoHS-compliant, surface-mount compatible, with 1.27 mm pitch and standard JEDEC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 V2FAIL | Open-drain voltage fail output | Asserts LOW when V2MON falls below VTRIP2; used for power-fail interrupt or OR-ed reset extension - no internal delay. |
| 2 V2MON | Secondary voltage monitor input | Accepts 0.9–4.75 V input; comparator powered by V2MON itself (X40431), enabling monitoring even if VCC fails. |
| 3 LOWLINE | Early VCC undervoltage indicator | CMOS output goes LOW immediately upon VCC < VTRIP1; no tPURST delay - ideal for preemptive shutdown sequencing. |
| 4 NC | No-connect terminal | Not bonded internally; must be left unconnected or tied to ground per layout best practices. |
| 5 MR | Debounced manual reset input | Active-low pushbutton interface; internal debounce eliminates external RC network and reduces BOM count. |
| 6 RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Drives system reset line LOW during VCC brownout, MR assertion, or watchdog timeout - requires external pull-up. |
| 7 VSS | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog comparators, digital logic, and EEPROM core - must be low-impedance connection. |
| 8 SDA | Serial data bidirectional I2C line | Open-drain interface for EEPROM read/write, control register access, and watchdog restart - requires pull-up resistor. |
| 9 SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all I2C transactions; timing-critical for 400 kHz operation and watchdog restart validity. |
| 10 WP | Hardware write protect input | HIGH disables all EEPROM and register writes - internal 10 MΩ pull-down ensures safe default state at power-up. |
| 11 V3MON | Tertiary voltage monitor input | Accepts 0.9–4.75 V; comparator powered by V3MON pin - enables independent 1.8 V rail monitoring with no VCC dependency. |
| 12 V3FAIL | Open-drain tertiary fail output | Asserts LOW when V3MON < VTRIP3; provides dedicated power-fail alert for lowest-voltage domain without shared logic. |
| 13 WDO | Watchdog timeout output | Active-low open-drain signal indicating microcontroller lockup - can drive reset generator or system interrupt controller. |
| 14 VCC | Supply voltage input | 2.7–5.5 V operating range powers internal logic, EEPROM, and VTRIP1 comparator - also supplies RESET generation circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple independent voltage monitoring | Simultaneous supervision of VCC, V2MON, and V3MON with separate fail outputs - eliminates need for three discrete supervisors and saves >25 mm² PCB area. |
| Reprogrammable trip thresholds | VTRIP1/VTRIP2/VTRIP3 can be adjusted via high-voltage programming sequence on WDO pin - enables field calibration without hardware change. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6816ESE+ | Single-supply supervisor only (no V2MON/V3MON); 256-byte EEPROM; no programmable thresholds. | Lacks multi-rail monitoring and threshold adjustability - suitable only for basic 5 V reset + small config storage. | Select only if system has ≤2 rails and does not require field-trimmed trip points or fault-source diagnostics. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Dual-voltage supervisor (V1/V2) with adjustable thresholds; no EEPROM; no manual reset input; different package (SOT-23-6). | Requires external EEPROM and MR circuitry - increases board area and component count for same functionality. | Choose when cost-per-function is prioritized over integration and diagnostics - but expect +3 BOM items and +15 mm² layout penalty. |
Compared with MAX6816ESE+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, the X40431V14-C delivers full triple-rail supervision, field-adjustable thresholds, integrated 4Kbit EEPROM with hardware write protection, and fault-source visibility - reducing total system component count by ≥4 and eliminating external timing/passive components required by alternatives.

FAQ
What is the factory-default VTRIP1 setting for X40431V14-C?
The X40431V14-C ships with VTRIP1 factory-programmed to 4.55–4.65 V, optimized for reliable 5 V system supervision. This threshold is stored in nonvolatile memory and remains stable over temperature and time unless reprogrammed using the high-voltage VTRIP adjustment sequence documented in the datasheet. The X40431V14-C maintains this value across its full operating life without drift.
Can X40431V14-C monitor voltages below 1.0 V?
No - the X40431V14-C supports V2MON and V3MON inputs from 0.9 V to 4.75 V, but its lowest factory-programmed VTRIP3 is 1.65–1.75 V (for 1.8 V rail monitoring). While the input range includes 0.9 V, the internal comparator architecture and trip-point resolution are not specified for sub-1.0 V operation. For 1.2 V or 0.9 V rails, the X40434/X40435 variants (with 0.95–1.05 V VTRIP3) are recommended instead of the X40431V14-C.
How does the Block Lock™ protection work on X40431V14-C EEPROM?
The X40431V14-C implements Block Lock™ via a nonvolatile BP bit in its control register: when BP = 1, the upper 256 bytes (addresses 0x100–0x1FF) are write-protected; when BP = 0, the entire 4Kbit array is writable. Protection is enforced at the hardware level - writes to locked regions are ignored and generate no acknowledge. This mechanism secures boot parameters in the X40431V14-C without software overhead or external logic.
Is X40431V14-C pin-compatible with other members of the X4043x family?
Yes - the X40431V14-C shares identical 14-pin SOIC/TSSOP pinout and electrical interface with X40430, X40434, and X40435. However, functional differences exist: X40430/X40431 use V2MON-powered comparators (enabling V2MON monitoring during VCC failure), while X40434/X40435 use VCC-powered comparators. Substituting X40431V14-C for X40434V14-C requires verifying V2MON independence is not needed in the target design.
What is the maximum write cycle time for EEPROM operations on X40431V14-C?
The X40431V14-C specifies a typical EEPROM write cycle time of 5 ms for byte or page writes, with no maximum limit stated in the datasheet. During this internal write period, the device ignores all I2C commands and places SDA in high-impedance state. Applications must enforce 5 ms minimum delay between write commands to ensure completion - verified by polling the acknowledge bit or using the built-in tWC timing constraint in the X40431V14-C specification.
