Product details
Overview
X4043S8Z-2.7T1 from Intersil (now Renesas) is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 4kbit serial EEPROM in an 8-pin SOIC package. It features active-low open-drain RESET output, 2.7V–5.5V operation, 2.55V–2.7V reset threshold, <1µA standby current (watchdog off), and 400kHz I²C interface - deployed in industrial microcontroller systems requiring reliable brownout protection and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X4043S8Z-2.7T1 datasheet, X4043S8Z-2.7T1 pinout, X4043S8Z-2.7T1 application, or X4043S8Z-2.7T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed VTRIP range (2.55–2.7V), EEPROM block-lock protection granularity, watchdog timeout options (200ms/600ms/1.4s), I²C address compatibility (0xA0), and SOIC-8 thermal and layout constraints.
Technical Context
The X4043S8Z-2.7T1 implements a dual-function reset architecture: power-on reset with 250ms delay and low-VCC detection asserting RESET below 2.7V (with 200ms hysteresis). Its watchdog timer monitors SDA/SCL activity and triggers reset if no valid I²C transaction occurs within the selected timeout period.
Internally, it combines a CMOS serial EEPROM array organized as 512 × 8 bits with Intersil's Block Lock™ protection and Direct Write™ memory cells (1M write cycles, 100-year retention). The control register at address 1FFh (accessed via 1011 preamble) configures nonvolatile WD1/WD0 and BP2/BP1/BP0 bits, while WEL/RWEL latches manage volatile write enable states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold (VTRIP) | 2.55V to 2.7V - ensures system reset before microcontroller enters undefined operation during brownout in 2.7V–5.5V supply rails. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3V and 5V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Standby Current (WD off) | <1µA - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-harvesting embedded systems. |
| I²C Interface Speed | 400kHz - compatible with standard Fast-mode I²C buses, allowing real-time configuration updates without bus contention. |
| EEPROM Capacity | 4kbits (512 × 8) - provides sufficient space for firmware version stamps, calibration data, and device-specific parameters in compact MCU designs. |
| Watchdog Timeout Options | 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s - selectable via nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits, enabling precise fault-detection timing aligned with application boot or task deadlines. |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR connection with other reset sources and flexible pull-up voltage selection (e.g., to 3.3V or 5V rail). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOIC (JEDEC MS-012, 150 mil width), RoHS-compliant Pb-free plus anneal finish, MSL Level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | No Connect (NC) | Unbonded die pads - must remain floating; no PCB trace or component connection permitted. |
| 3 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserts during power-up, brownout (VCC < 2.7V), or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-up resistor. |
| 4 | VSS | Digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path to minimize noise coupling into reset logic. |
| 5 | SDA | Bidirectional I²C data line - open-drain structure mandates external pull-up; shares bus with other I²C slaves using 7-bit address 0xA0. |
| 6 | SCL | I²C clock input - driven by master only; rise/fall time compliance required for 400kHz operation (max 300ns fall, 1000ns rise). |
| 7 | WP | Hardware write protect - HIGH disables all EEPROM writes and control register modifications; tied to VSS when unused. |
| 8 | VCC | Primary power supply input - supplies both supervisor logic and EEPROM core; decoupling capacitor (0.1µF ceramic) required within 5mm. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable VTRIP | VTRIP can be reprogrammed to custom thresholds (down to 1.7V nominal) using 15–18V pulse on WP pin - enables precision brownout tuning without external components. |
| Block Lock™ Protection | Eight configurable lock modes (0–128 bytes, 1/4–full array) controlled by nonvolatile BP2/BP1/BP0 bits - prevents accidental overwrites of critical calibration or security data. |
| Self-timed EEPROM Writes | 5ms typical write cycle with automatic internal timing - eliminates need for host-side delay loops or status polling overhead in firmware. |
| Power-up Reset Hold Time | 250ms minimum assertion - guarantees stable VCC and oscillator startup before processor release, preventing race conditions in FPGA-configured systems. |
| Watchdog Independence | Timer resets only on valid I²C start/stop sequences (not arbitrary SDA/SCL toggling) - avoids false triggers from bus noise or partial transactions. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Medical Infusion Pump Controller |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitors 3.3V supply rail in a DIN-rail mounted PLC I/O module operating in factory environments with fluctuating line voltage.

Use Value: Prevents erratic behavior during engine cranking (battery dip to ~6V) by holding RESET until stable 12V rail recovery; SOIC-8 package meets AEC-Q200 thermal cycling requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPU supervisor with EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361KA27+T | Fixed 2.63V reset threshold (no programmability); 1kbit EEPROM; 100kHz I²C only | Lacks VTRIP adjustment and higher-speed I²C - unsuitable where fine brownout tuning or fast configuration updates are required | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs flexibility needs and 1kbit EEPROM suffices for minimal configuration storage |
| STM8AF5288TDY | Integrated 8-bit MCU + 4k EEPROM + reset/watchdog - not a standalone supervisor; requires firmware development | Replaces discrete supervisor + MCU architecture - increases BOM count but reduces board area and interconnect complexity | Choose when system-level consolidation justifies added software validation effort and MCU resource allocation |
Compared with MAX6361KA27+T and STM8AF5288TDY, the X4043S8Z-2.7T1 uniquely balances pin-compatible simplicity, field-programmable VTRIP, and full-speed I²C EEPROM access - making it optimal for retrofitting legacy 3.3V systems needing enhanced brownout resilience without redesigning firmware or layout.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage range for X4043S8Z-2.7T1?
The X4043S8Z-2.7T1 has a factory-set VTRIP range of 2.55V to 2.7V, specified for operation across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This threshold is programmable to custom values using a 15–18V pulse on the WP pin, with post-programming verification performed by ramping VCC and measuring the actual RESET assertion point.
Does X4043S8Z-2.7T1 support I²C clock stretching or multi-master arbitration?
No - the X4043S8Z-2.7T1 operates strictly as an I²C slave with fixed 7-bit address 0xA0 (write) / 0xA1 (read) and does not implement clock stretching or arbitration logic. It responds to START/STOP conditions and acknowledges valid addresses but cannot hold SCL low or resolve bus contention.
Can the watchdog timer in X4043S8Z-2.7T1 be disabled permanently?
Yes - the watchdog timer in X4043S8Z-2.7T1 is disabled by default (WD1=1, WD0=1) and remains disabled until explicitly reconfigured via the nonvolatile control register at address 1FFh. Once set, the configuration persists across power cycles unless rewritten.
Is X4043S8Z-2.7T1 pin-compatible with X4043S8Z-4.5T1?
Yes - both X4043S8Z-2.7T1 and X4043S8Z-4.5T1 use identical 8-pin SOIC packaging and share identical pinout, electrical interface, and functional architecture. The sole difference is the factory-programmed VTRIP range (2.55–2.7V vs. 4.5–4.75V), making them direct drop-in replacements in matching supply-voltage contexts.
What EEPROM write protection mechanisms does X4043S8Z-2.7T1 provide beyond the WP pin?
In addition to the hardware WP pin, the X4043S8Z-2.7T1 implements software-configurable Block Lock™ protection via nonvolatile BP2/BP1/BP0 bits. These bits enable eight distinct lock modes - including protection of the first 16/32/64/128 bytes or upper 1/4/1/2/all of the 512-byte array - providing layered defense against inadvertent writes during firmware updates or field service.
