Product details
Overview
X4283S8I-2.7 from Xicor (now part of Renesas) is a 16K × 8-bit CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, selectable watchdog timer, low-VCC detection, and 128 Kbit serial EEPROM with Block Lock™ protection. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, asserts RESET/RESET down to VCC = 1V, and features 400 kHz 2-wire interface - used in embedded microcontroller systems requiring reliable boot sequencing and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X4283S8I-2.7 datasheet, X4283S8I-2.7 pinout, X4283S8I-2.7 application, or X4283S8I-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold adjustability, watchdog timeout configurability (200 ms / 600 ms / 1.4 s), EEPROM page-write capability (64-byte pages), hardware write protection via WP pin, and SOIC-8 packaging compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The X4283S8I-2.7 implements a dual-function architecture: analog voltage monitoring circuitry drives active-low/high open-drain RESET/RESET output based on programmable VTRIP, while a digital 2-wire slave interface handles EEPROM read/write and control register access. Its watchdog timer monitors SDA transitions during SCL HIGH to detect MCU lockup.
Reset assertion persists for 250 ms after VCC stabilizes above VTRIP; the device supports reprogramming of VTRIP using 12–15 V on WP with specific byte sequences. EEPROM organization is 16,384 × 8 bits, internally segmented into 64-byte pages, with nonvolatile Block Protect bits (BP2–BP0) enabling selective locking of 64–16K byte regions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic systems without level shifting. |
| Reset Threshold | Factory-set standard VTRIP (e.g., 2.63V), reprogrammable to custom voltage - allows precise brownout detection matching system rail tolerance. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable: 200 ms / 600 ms / 1.4 s (via WD1/WD0 bits) - provides flexible fail-safe timing for diverse MCU execution cycles. |
| EEPROM Capacity | 128 Kbit (16K × 8) organized in 64-byte pages - supports efficient firmware parameter storage and calibration data logging. |
| Interface Speed | 400 kHz 2-wire (I²C-compatible) - ensures fast configuration reads/writes without overloading standard microcontroller I²C peripherals. |
| Standby Current | <20 µA (watchdog enabled) or <1 µA (watchdog disabled) - minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Reset Output | Open-drain RESET/RESET, valid down to VCC = 1V - guarantees deterministic reset behavior during deep brownout or power ramp-up. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (JEDEC MS-012, 150 mil width), RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SOIC) | S0 | Device select input - sets LSB of 7-bit I²C slave address (A0 = 1010xxx); enables up to 4 devices on same bus. |
| 2 (SOIC) | S1 | Device select input - sets MSB of I²C slave address; combined with S0, defines unique device ID. |
| 3 (SOIC) | RESET/RESET | Active-low/high open-drain reset output - asserts during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-up. |
| 4 (SOIC) | VSS | Ground reference - common return path for all internal circuits and I²C interface. |
| 5 (SOIC) | SDA | Serial data bidirectional I/O - carries command, address, and data; open-drain structure enables wired-AND bus sharing. |
| 6 (SOIC) | SCL | Serial clock input - synchronous timing signal generated by master; controls all data transfers. |
| 7 (SOIC) | WP | Write protect input - when HIGH and WPEN bit set, disables all EEPROM writes including control register updates. |
| 8 (SOIC) | VCC | Positive supply input - powers all analog supervision and digital EEPROM functions; also used as reference for VTRIP programming. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Reset Threshold | VTRIP can be reprogrammed to custom voltage (e.g., 2.93V or 3.08V) using 12–15 V on WP - eliminates need for external resistor dividers or precision references. |
| Configurable Watchdog Timer | Three fixed timeout options (200 ms / 600 ms / 1.4 s) stored in nonvolatile control register - survives power cycles and enables robust MCU recovery without firmware dependency. |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM Protection | Eight protection modes (none, 64B–16KB, upper 1/4/1/2, full array) controlled by BP2–BP0 bits - prevents accidental overwrite of critical bootloader or calibration data. |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP pin + WPEN bit enable/disable global write blocking - provides tamper-resistant safeguard independent of software state or power glitches. |
| Power-Up Reset Timing | RESET/RESET held active for ≥250 ms after VCC exceeds VTRIP - ensures sufficient time for oscillator stabilization and FPGA configuration before MCU execution. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPU supervisor with integrated EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361KA29+T | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold; no VTRIP reprogramming; 64Kbit EEPROM; same 8-pin SOIC package. | Lacks adjustable brownout point - suitable only where factory VTRIP matches system requirement. | Choose when design uses standard 2.93V threshold and does not require field calibration of reset point. |
| STM8T142M2U6 | Integrated 32Kbit EEPROM; programmable reset thresholds (2.5V–4.5V); no watchdog timer; 8-pin SOIC. | Missing watchdog function - requires external supervision or MCU-based timeout handling. | Choose when watchdog is managed in firmware and higher EEPROM density is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6361KA29+T and STM8T142M2U6, the X4283S8I-2.7 uniquely combines field-programmable VTRIP, three-tier watchdog timeout, and 128Kbit EEPROM in one SOIC-8 package - making it optimal for designs needing adaptive brownout response and robust data retention without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the X4283S8I-2.7?
The X4283S8I-2.7 operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, supporting both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems. Its reset output remains valid down to VCC = 1V, ensuring reliable assertion during deep brownout conditions. This wide supply range simplifies design across multiple platform voltages without external regulators.
Can the reset threshold voltage of the X4283S8I-2.7 be customized?
Yes, the X4283S8I-2.7 supports nonvolatile reprogramming of its VTRIP threshold using a defined sequence: apply desired VTRIP to VCC, 12–15V to WP, and issue specific byte commands (A0h, 00h, 01h). This enables field calibration to match exact system rail tolerances - a capability not found in most fixed-threshold supervisors.
How does the watchdog timer in the X4283S8I-2.7 function?
The X4283S8I-2.7 watchdog monitors SDA transitions while SCL is HIGH. A falling edge on SDA resets the timer; absence of such an edge within the selected timeout (200 ms / 600 ms / 1.4 s) triggers RESET/RESET. Timeout is set via nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits and persists across power cycles - providing autonomous MCU supervision independent of firmware state.
What EEPROM protection mechanisms does the X4283S8I-2.7 provide?
The X4283S8I-2.7 offers layered EEPROM protection: (1) Power-up/down circuitry blocks writes during unstable VCC; (2) Block Lock™ bits (BP2–BP0) lock 64B–16KB segments; (3) Hardware write protect via WP pin + WPEN bit disables all writes globally. These prevent corruption during power loss, accidental firmware updates, or physical tampering.
Is the X4283S8I-2.7 pin-compatible with other members of the X4283/85 family?
Yes, the X4283S8I-2.7 shares identical 8-pin SOIC pinout and 2-wire interface protocol with all X4283/85 variants (e.g., X4283S8I-3.0, X4285S8I-2.7). Differences lie only in factory-set VTRIP voltage and RESET/RESET polarity (X4283 = active-low, X4285 = active-high), allowing drop-in replacement where threshold and polarity match system requirements.
