Product details
Overview
X4045PI-2.7 from Intersil (now Renesas) is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 4kbit serial EEPROM in a single 8-pin PDIP package. It features active-high RESET output, 2.7–5.5V operation, 2.55–2.7V reset threshold, and I²C-compatible 400kHz 2-wire interface - deployed in industrial microcontroller systems requiring reliable brownout protection and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X4045PI-2.7 datasheet, X4045PI-2.7 pinout, X4045PI-2.7 application, or X4045PI-2.7 equivalent, key selection considerations include its active-high reset assertion, programmable VTRIP down to 2.55V, block-lock EEPROM protection, watchdog timeout options (200ms/600ms/1.4s), and compatibility with legacy 8-pin through-hole PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The X4045PI-2.7 implements a dual-function supervisory architecture: its low-VCC detection circuit asserts RESET when VCC drops below 2.55–2.7V and holds it active until VCC rises above threshold for ≥200ms; simultaneously, its watchdog timer monitors SDA/SCL activity and triggers RESET if no valid I²C transaction occurs within the selected timeout window.
Its EEPROM subsystem uses Intersil's Direct Write™ cell technology (1M write cycles, 100-year data retention), supports 16-byte page writes with self-timed 5ms typical write cycle, and enforces hardware write protection via WP pin and nonvolatile BP2–BP0 bits controlling lock granularity from 16 bytes to full array.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Polarity | Active-high open-drain output - requires external pull-up; asserts during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout. |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3V and 5V logic domains. |
| VTRIP Threshold | 2.55V to 2.7V - factory-set for 2.7V systems; reprogrammable via high-voltage sequence on WP pin. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s - configured via nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits; disabled by default. |
| EEPROM Capacity | 4kbit (512 × 8) - organized as 16-byte pages; supports byte and page write modes. |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 400kHz - compatible with standard-mode I²C buses; SDA/SCL pins are open-drain with internal input buffers always active. |
| Standby Current | <1µA with watchdog disabled - enables ultra-low-power monitoring in battery-backed systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), 0.300" width, RoHS-compliant Pb-free plus anneal finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | NC | No internal connection - must be left unconnected; not bonded internally. |
| 3 | RESET | Active-high open-drain reset output - asserted during power-up (250ms), brownout (VCC < VTRIP), or watchdog timeout. |
| 4 | VSS | Ground reference - primary return path for all internal circuits and I/O pins. |
| 5 | SDA | Serial Data bidirectional I/O - open-drain, requires external pull-up; carries address/data/control bits per I²C protocol. |
| 6 | SCL | Serial Clock input - synchronous timing signal for I²C read/write operations; master-generated only. |
| 7 | WP | Write Protect input - HIGH disables all writes (EEPROM + control register); LOW enables write access when WEL/RWEL latched. |
| 8 | VCC | Supply voltage input - powers all internal blocks; range 2.7V–5.5V; also used as reference for VTRIP programming. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Reset Threshold | VTRIP adjustable from 1.7V up to 4.75V using 15–18V pulse on WP pin - enables precise brownout tuning without external components. |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM Protection | Eight protection modes (0–128 bytes, 1/4–full array) controlled by nonvolatile BP2/BP1/BP0 bits - prevents accidental firmware/config corruption during field updates. |
| Self-Timed EEPROM Writes | 5ms typical write cycle time with automatic internal timing - eliminates need for host-side delay management; supports 16-byte page writes. |
| Power-Fail Safe Operation | RESET remains valid down to VCC = 1V and blocks new I²C transactions when VCC < VTRIP - ensures deterministic state recovery after brownout. |
| Low-Power Watchdog Monitoring | Consumes <20µA standby current with watchdog enabled - allows continuous system health monitoring without significant battery drain. |

FAQ
What is the reset output polarity and drive type of the X4045PI-2.7?
The X4045PI-2.7 features an active-high open-drain RESET output (Pin 3). It requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC and asserts HIGH during power-up (for 250ms), brownout (when VCC falls below 2.55–2.7V), or watchdog timeout. This matches legacy 5V TTL logic levels and simplifies interface with MCUs lacking dedicated reset inputs.
Can the reset threshold voltage of the X4045PI-2.7 be adjusted, and how?
Yes, the X4045PI-2.7's VTRIP threshold is factory-set to 2.55–2.7V but can be reprogrammed between 1.7V and 4.75V using a 15–18V pulse applied to the WP pin (Pin 7) while issuing specific I²C commands. The procedure involves a START condition, slave address A0h, byte address 01h, and data byte 00h - documented in the FN8118 datasheet Section "VTRIP Programming".
Does the X4045PI-2.7 support I²C communication, and what are its timing limits?
Yes, the X4045PI-2.7 supports standard-mode I²C communication at up to 400kHz. Its SDA (Pin 5) and SCL (Pin 6) pins conform to I²C electrical specifications: open-drain outputs with internal input buffers always active, requiring external pull-ups. It acknowledges valid slave addresses (1010xxx0 for EEPROM, 1011xxx0 for control register) and supports byte/page writes and random/sequential reads.
How does the watchdog timer in the X4045PI-2.7 operate, and how is its timeout configured?
The X4045PI-2.7 watchdog timer monitors SDA/SCL activity and resets the system if no valid I²C transaction (START–STOP sequence) occurs within the selected interval. Timeout is set via nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits in the control register: 00=1.4s, 01=600ms, 10=200ms, 11=disabled (default). Configuration requires setting WEL and RWEL latches before writing the control byte.
What EEPROM protection mechanisms does the X4045PI-2.7 provide, and how are they enabled?
The X4045PI-2.7 offers three-tiered EEPROM protection: (1) hardware WP pin (Pin 7) - HIGH disables all writes; (2) Power-up/Power-down circuitry - blocks writes during VCC transitions; (3) Block Lock™ via BP2/BP1/BP0 bits - locks 16-byte to full-array segments. Protection is enabled by programming the control register at address 1FFh after setting WEL and RWEL latches.
