Product details
Overview
X5043M8I-2.7T2 from Intersil (now Renesas) is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 4Kbit SPI EEPROM in an 8-pin MSOP package. It features 2.93V reset threshold, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and 3.3MHz SPI interface - used for reliable boot sequencing and data retention in embedded microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the X5043M8I-2.7T2 datasheet, X5043M8I-2.7T2 pinout, X5043M8I-2.7T2 application, or X5043M8I-2.7T2 equivalent, key selection criteria include VTRIP reprogrammability, block-lock EEPROM protection granularity, watchdog timeout configurability, and compatibility with 2.7–5.5V supply rails in space-constrained industrial designs.
Technical Context
The X5043M8I-2.7T2 implements a dual-function CS/WDI pin for both chip select and watchdog input, with reset assertion triggered by either VCC drop below 2.93V (±2.5%) or watchdog timeout (200ms/600ms/1.4s). Its internal status register stores nonvolatile WD0/WD1 and BL0/BL1 bits controlling timeout period and EEPROM block lock level.
It uses Direct Write™ EEPROM cells enabling 1M write cycles and 100-year data retention, supports 16-byte page writes with 5ms typical write cycle time, and includes hardware write protection via WP pin plus software-controlled WREN latch and status register locking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP Threshold | 2.93V ±2.5% - factory-set low-voltage reset point; reprogrammable to custom values using VP=15–18V sequence |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports wide-input industrial and battery-backed systems without external regulators |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s - configured via nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits; remains stable across power cycles |
| SPI Clock Rate | 3.3MHz max - enables fast configuration and EEPROM access compatible with standard MCU SPI peripherals |
| EEPROM Endurance | 1,000,000 write cycles - sufficient for frequent calibration or event-logging applications over product lifetime |
| Standby Current | <10µA (WDT off) / <50µA (WDT on) - critical for long-life battery-powered equipment |
| Package | 8-pin MSOP - 3mm × 3mm footprint ideal for compact PCB layouts with thermal performance matching SOIC |
Pinout & Package
8-pin MSOP (3mm × 3mm, 0.65mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, Pb-free plus anneal finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CS/WDI | Chip Select / Watchdog Input | Active-low enable for SPI interface; falling edge resets watchdog timer; high-to-low transition required after power-up to initiate operation |
| 2 WP | Write Protect Input | Hardware lock: LOW disables all nonvolatile writes (EEPROM and status register), overriding software controls |
| 3 SO | Serial Output | Push-pull output; data shifted out on SCK falling edge; high-impedance when CS high or during internal write |
| 4 VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system GND plane |
| 5 VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.7–5.5V main power rail; powers reset generator, watchdog, EEPROM, and SPI logic; also used as programming reference for VTRIP adjustment |
| 6 SCK | Serial Clock Input | Controls timing of SPI transfers; data latched on rising edge (SI), output changes on falling edge (SO) |
| 7 SI | Serial Input | Accepts opcodes, addresses, and data; all bits transferred MSB-first; latched on rising edge of SCK |
| 8 RESET/RESET | Reset Output | Open-drain active-low output (X5043 variant); asserted for ≥200ms after VCC rises above VTRIP or watchdog timeout; valid down to VCC = 1V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Allows field calibration of reset threshold using 15–18V VP on WP pin - eliminates need for multiple BOM variants |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM Protection | Four protection levels (none / 1/4 / 1/2 / full array) controlled by nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits - prevents accidental firmware corruption |
| Watchdog Timer with Nonvolatile Settings | Timeout period retained across power cycles via status register - ensures consistent fail-safe behavior without host reinitialization |
| Direct Write™ EEPROM Technology | 1M write endurance and 100-year data retention - suitable for mission-critical parameter storage in unattended systems |
| Dual-Function CS/WDI Pin | Reduces MCU GPIO count by combining chip select and watchdog feed into single pin - simplifies layout and firmware design |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP9808-E/P | Temperature sensor with I²C interface only - no reset, watchdog, or EEPROM functions | Provides thermal monitoring but lacks system supervision capabilities | Not functionally equivalent; only suitable if temperature sensing is sole requirement |
| MAX6361KA29+T | Supervisor-only IC (no EEPROM); 2.93V reset, -40°C to +85°C, 8-pin SOIC; no programmable VTRIP or watchdog | Delivers basic reset and power monitoring but requires external memory for configuration storage | Use when EEPROM integration is unnecessary and board space allows separate memory component |
Compared with X5043M8I-2.7T2, MAX6361KA29+T provides identical reset threshold and temperature grade but omits EEPROM and watchdog - increasing BOM count and firmware complexity, whereas MCP9808-E/P serves a completely different sensing function with no supervision capability.

FAQ
What is the factory-default VTRIP voltage for the X5043M8I-2.7T2?
The X5043M8I-2.7T2 ships with a factory-programmed VTRIP of 2.93V ±2.5%, corresponding to the "-2.7A" suffix in the ordering code. This threshold is nonvolatile and persists across power cycles unless explicitly reprogrammed using the VP=15–18V sequence on the WP pin.
Does the X5043M8I-2.7T2 support both active-low and active-high reset outputs?
No - the X5043M8I-2.7T2 is the X5043 variant and provides only an active-low open-drain RESET output. The X5045 variant offers active-high RESET; however, X5043M8I-2.7T2 is strictly active-low and requires an external pull-up resistor for proper logic-level signaling.
How is the watchdog timeout period configured on the X5043M8I-2.7T2?
The watchdog timeout on X5043M8I-2.7T2 is set via two nonvolatile bits (WD0 and WD1) in the status register, programmed using the WRSR instruction. Valid combinations yield 200ms, 600ms, or 1.4s timeouts - or disable the watchdog entirely. These settings survive power loss and require no host reinitialization.
Can the X5043M8I-2.7T2's EEPROM be partially protected while leaving other sections writable?
Yes - the X5043M8I-2.7T2 implements Block Lock™ protection controlled by BL0/BL1 bits. It supports four protection modes: none, lower quarter (0x180–0x1FF), lower half (0x100–0x1FF), or full array (0x000–0x1FF), enabling selective write protection without affecting read access to locked regions.
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the X5043M8I-2.7T2?
The X5043M8I-2.7T2 supports a maximum SPI clock frequency of 3.3MHz across its full 2.7–5.5V supply range and -40°C to +85°C operating temperature. This allows high-speed configuration and EEPROM access while maintaining timing margin per AC specifications in the FN8126 datasheet.
