Product details
Overview
X4323S8-2.7 from Xicor (now Renesas) is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, selectable watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 32Kbit serial EEPROM in an 8-lead SOIC package. It features four standard VCC reset thresholds (including factory-set 2.7V), 400kHz I²C interface, <20µA standby current with watchdog enabled, and 5ms typical EEPROM write cycle time. It is used in embedded microcontroller systems requiring reliable power sequencing and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X4323S8-2.7 datasheet, X4323S8-2.7 pinout, X4323S8-2.7 application, or X4323S8-2.7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable VTRIP threshold capability, dual-mode reset output (active-low/open-drain), hardware write protection via WP pin, and compatibility with standard 2-wire I²C timing at 400kHz.
Technical Context
The X4323S8-2.7 implements a dual-function reset architecture: power-on reset with 250ms timeout and low-VCC detection asserting RESET/RESET down to VCC = 1V. Its watchdog timer monitors SDA transitions during SCL HIGH and offers three fixed timeout periods (200ms, 600ms, 1.4s) controlled by nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits.
EEPROM functionality includes 64-byte page write mode, self-timed internal write cycles, and multi-layer write protection-comprising volatile WEL/RWEL latches, nonvolatile Block Protect bits (BP2–BP0), and hardware lock via WP pin + WPEN bit. All serial communication follows strict I²C protocol conventions with start/stop conditions, ACK polling, and addressable random/sequential reads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-supply operation across industrial and automotive-grade logic rails. |
| Reset Threshold (VTRIP) | Factory-set to 2.7V - precise brownout detection point; reprogrammable to custom voltage via VP pulse on WP pin. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable: 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s - configurable via nonvolatile WD1/WD0 bits; disabled by default. |
| EEPROM Capacity | 32Kbit (4K × 8) - organized as 512 pages of 64 bytes; enables firmware parameter storage without external memory. |
| I²C Interface Speed | 400kHz - full Fast-mode I²C compliance; allows high-throughput configuration updates in real-time systems. |
| Standby Current | <20µA (watchdog on) / <1µA (watchdog off) - ultra-low quiescent draw for battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 250ms after VCC stabilization - ensures sufficient time for oscillator startup and FPGA configuration before MCU release. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead JEDEC SOIC (SO-8), body size 3.9mm × 4.9mm, pitch 1.27mm.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SOIC) | S0 | Device select input - sets LSB of I²C slave address; tied HIGH/LOW to configure one of four device addresses. |
| 2 (SOIC) | S1 | Device select input - sets MSB of I²C slave address; enables multiple X4323S8-2.7 devices on same bus. |
| 3 (SOIC) | RESET/RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output - asserted 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 line - bidirectional I²C data pin with open-drain output; used for EEPROM read/write and watchdog reset signaling. |
| 6 (SOIC) | SCL | Serial clock input - master-generated I²C clock; synchronizes all data transfers and watchdog sampling windows. |
| 7 (SOIC) | WP | Write protect input - when HIGH and WPEN bit set, blocks all nonvolatile writes including control register and EEPROM. |
| 8 (SOIC) | VCC | Supply voltage input - powers all internal functions including reset generator, watchdog, and EEPROM array. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable VTRIP | Factory-set 2.7V threshold reprogrammable to custom voltage using 12–15V pulse on WP pin - eliminates need for external resistor dividers. |
| Dual-mode reset output | RESET/RESET pin operates as active-low open-drain signal compatible with both NMOS and CMOS logic families - simplifies interface to diverse host processors. |
| Hardware + software write protection | Combines WP pin + WPEN bit for hardware lock and BP2–BP0 bits for selective 64-byte to full-array block locking - prevents accidental firmware corruption during field updates. |
| Self-timed EEPROM writes | 5ms typical internal write cycle with automatic completion detection via ACK polling - removes need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| Watchdog restart via I²C activity | SDA falling edge during SCL HIGH resets watchdog timer - leverages existing bus traffic instead of requiring dedicated GPIO or timer resources. |

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 2.7V reset threshold only; no VTRIP reprogramming; 16Kbit EEPROM; 100kHz I²C max. | Lacks field-adjustable trip point and faster interface - suitable for cost-sensitive designs where precision threshold tuning is unnecessary. | Choose MAX6361KA27+T if VTRIP stability over temperature is prioritized over programmability and higher-speed EEPROM access. |
| STM8AF5268TCX | Integrated 8-bit MCU core with 64KB Flash, 6KB RAM, and hardware watchdog; no serial EEPROM; reset threshold not adjustable. | Replaces discrete supervisor + EEPROM with embedded firmware-controlled supervision - requires MCU development effort but adds flexibility. | Choose STM8AF5268TCX when system-level customization (e.g., adaptive watchdog, dynamic reset logic) justifies added software complexity. |
Compared with MAX6361KA27+T and STM8AF5268TCX, the X4323S8-2.7 uniquely combines field-programmable VTRIP, 400kHz I²C, and 32Kbit EEPROM in a pin-compatible SOIC-8 footprint - enabling drop-in upgrade paths for legacy designs while supporting tighter voltage-margin applications.

FAQ
What is the factory-set reset threshold voltage for the X4323S8-2.7?
The X4323S8-2.7 ships with a factory-set VTRIP of 2.7V, matching its suffix designation. This threshold is guaranteed over temperature and supply variations per the datasheet's electrical characteristics table. It can be reprogrammed to other values using the VP pulse method on the WP pin, but the default remains 2.7V unless modified in-system.
Does the X4323S8-2.7 support true I²C Fast-mode operation?
Yes, the X4323S8-2.7 fully supports I²C Fast-mode at 400kHz, including proper START/STOP condition timing, ACK polling, and 64-byte page write capability. Its SDA and SCL pins meet I²C bus electrical specifications for open-drain operation with defined rise/fall times and noise immunity - confirmed in the "Serial Interface Conventions" section of the datasheet.
How does the watchdog timer in the X4323S8-2.7 get reset?
The X4323S8-2.7 watchdog timer is reset by a HIGH-to-LOW transition on the SDA pin while SCL is held HIGH - i.e., a valid I²C START condition. This design allows the host microcontroller to service the watchdog using normal bus activity without dedicating a separate GPIO. If no such transition occurs within the selected timeout period (200ms/600ms/1.4s), RESET/RESET is asserted.
Can the EEPROM in the X4323S8-2.7 be written to while the RESET/RESET output is active?
No. While RESET/RESET is active - whether due to power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout - all serial communication is inhibited and no nonvolatile write operations may begin. In-progress writes are allowed to complete, but new commands (including EEPROM writes and control register updates) are ignored until RESET/RESET deasserts and stabilizes for 200ms.
What is the function of the S0 and S1 pins on the X4323S8-2.7?
The S0 and S1 pins on the X4323S8-2.7 configure the two most significant bits of the I²C slave address, allowing up to four X4323S8-2.7 devices to share the same I²C bus without address conflict. They are sampled at power-up and remain static during operation - no internal pull-ups/pull-downs, so external termination is required for deterministic addressing.
