Product details
Overview
X40626S14-4.5A from Xicor (now part of Renesas) is a dual-voltage CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, watchdog timer, low-VCC monitoring, and 64 Kbit serial EEPROM. It features user-programmable VTRIP threshold (factory default 4.5 V), 200 ms reset timeout, 400 kHz I²C interface, and 64-byte page EEPROM with Block Lock™ protection. It serves in microcontroller-based embedded systems requiring reliable power sequencing and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X40626S14-4.5A datasheet, X40626S14-4.5A pinout, X40626S14-4.5A application, or X40626S14-4.5A equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-supply monitoring capability (VCC + V2MON), programmable reset threshold, watchdog timeout options (200 ms / 600 ms / 1.4 s), open-drain RESET and V2FAIL outputs, and hardware write protection via WP pin and WPEN bit.
Technical Context
The X40626S14-4.5A implements independent voltage supervision for VCC and V2MON, each with dedicated comparators and open-drain status outputs (RESET and V2FAIL). Its watchdog timer monitors SDA transitions during SCL HIGH to detect microcontroller lockup, with timeout period set by nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits in the control register.
Reset assertion is guaranteed down to VCC = 1 V, and RESET remains active for ≥200 ms after VCC exceeds VTRIP. The integrated 64 Kbit EEPROM uses Xicor's Direct Write™ cell technology (100,000 write cycles, 100-year data retention) and supports byte/page writes over a 2-wire I²C-compatible interface with up to four devices per bus.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP Threshold | Factory-programmed 4.5 V ±100 mV; reprogrammable to custom voltage via VCC/WP sequence - enables precise brown-out detection matching system rail tolerance. |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms nominal after VCC rise above VTRIP - ensures stable power and oscillator settling before processor release. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable: 200 ms / 600 ms / 1.4 s (via WD1/WD0 bits); disabled by default - provides configurable fail-safe recovery without external components. |
| I²C Interface Speed | 400 kHz maximum - supports standard-mode Fast-mode I²C buses without clock stretching limitations. |
| EEPROM Capacity | 64 Kbit (8 K × 8), organized in 64-byte pages - allows efficient firmware parameter storage and field-updatable calibration data. |
| Supply Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic domains and mixed-voltage system designs. |
| Standby Current | 20 µA max (watchdog enabled); 1 µA (watchdog disabled) - minimizes quiescent power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 14-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), 150 mil width, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 4, 6, 13 | NC | No internal connection - must be left unconnected or tied to GND per layout best practice; no electrical function. |
| 2 | S0 | Device select input - sets LSB of I²C slave address (A0–A2 = S1/S0/0), enabling up to 4 devices on same bus. |
| 3 | S1 | Device select input - sets MSB of I²C slave address; combined with S0, defines unique 7-bit address (1010xx0). |
| 5 | RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserts during power-up, brown-out (VCC < VTRIP), or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-up. |
| 7 | VSS | Ground reference - primary return path for all internal circuits and I²C interface; must be low-impedance. |
| 8 | SDA | Serial data bidirectional I²C line - open-drain, requires pull-up; also serves as watchdog trigger input (falling edge while SCL=HIGH resets timer). |
| 9 | SCL | Serial clock input - controls timing of all I²C read/write operations; master-provided clock signal. |
| 10 | V2FAIL | Active-low open-drain V2MON fail indicator - signals when monitored auxiliary supply falls below VTRIP2; independent of VCC reset circuitry. |
| 11 | V2MON | Auxiliary voltage monitor input - accepts resistor-divided or direct connection to second supply; comparator has no hysteresis. |
| 12 | WP | Hardware write protect input - when HIGH and WPEN bit set, blocks all EEPROM and control register writes; enables tamper-resistant configuration locking. |
| 14 | VCC | Main supply voltage input - powers all internal functions including reset generator, watchdog, and EEPROM; operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent voltage supervision | VCC and V2MON monitored separately with dedicated open-drain outputs (RESET and V2FAIL) - enables robust power-fail detection for main and backup rails. |
| User-programmable VTRIP | VTRIP threshold adjustable via nonvolatile programming sequence using VCC and WP pin - eliminates need for external resistor dividers or trimming in precision brown-out applications. |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM protection | Eight configurable protection modes (0 to full array, or 64–512 bytes) controlled by BP2/BP1/BP0 bits - prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot code or calibration data. |
| Hardware + software write protection | Combines WP pin + WPEN bit and volatile WEL/RWEL latches - enforces layered security: hardware lock survives power loss, software lock enables dynamic reconfiguration. |
| Watchdog with SDA-triggered reset | Monitors microcontroller activity via SDA transitions during SCL HIGH - detects firmware hangs without requiring dedicated watchdog pin or timer peripheral. |

FAQ
What is the factory-default VTRIP threshold for the X40626S14-4.5A?
The X40626S14-4.5A ships with a factory-programmed VTRIP threshold of 4.5 V ±100 mV. This value is stored in nonvolatile memory and remains stable across temperature and time. It can be reprogrammed to a custom voltage using the VCC/WP programming sequence described in the datasheet - a feature unique to the X40626S14-4.5A among legacy supervisors.
Does the X40626S14-4.5A support I²C Fast Mode Plus (1 MHz)?
No, the X40626S14-4.5A supports standard-mode and Fast-mode I²C up to 400 kHz only. Its SDA and SCL input buffers and timing parameters are characterized for operation at ≤400 kHz. Attempting 1 MHz operation may result in missed acknowledges or corrupted EEPROM writes. For higher-speed interfaces, consider discrete I²C level shifters or alternative supervisors with Fast Mode Plus compliance.
How does the watchdog timer in the X40626S14-4.5A detect microcontroller failure?
The X40626S14-4.5A watchdog timer monitors the SDA line for falling-edge transitions while SCL is held HIGH - corresponding to valid I²C start conditions. If no such transition occurs within the selected timeout (200 ms / 600 ms / 1.4 s), the device asserts RESET. This method requires no dedicated watchdog pin and leverages existing I²C bus activity as a liveness signal - a key design feature of the X40626S14-4.5A.
Can the V2MON input of the X40626S14-4.5A monitor a 12 V automotive battery directly?
No, the X40626S14-4.5A V2MON input is rated for 0 V to VCC + 0.3 V only. To monitor a 12 V battery, an external resistor divider must scale the voltage to ≤5.5 V (within VCC operating range). The datasheet specifies no internal hysteresis on this comparator, so external RC filtering may be needed for noise immunity in automotive environments where the X40626S14-4.5A is deployed.
What EEPROM protection mechanisms are implemented in the X40626S14-4.5A?
The X40626S14-4.5A implements three-tiered EEPROM protection: (1) Power-cycle write inhibit - writes blocked while RESET is active; (2) Block Lock™ - eight protection modes (0 to full array or 64–512 bytes) set via BP2/BP1/BP0 bits; (3) Hardware/software lock - WP pin + WPEN bit enables permanent write disable, while WEL/RWEL latches allow temporary unlock for field updates. All are active in the X40626S14-4.5A.
