Product details
Overview
X5043P-4.5A from Intersil is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 4K-bit SPI EEPROM in an 8-lead PDIP package. It provides active-low RESET output, 4.5V–4.75V VTRIP threshold, and operates across 0°C to 70°C. Used in desktop computers and network servers for reliable microcontroller boot sequencing and critical data retention.
For engineers reviewing the X5043P-4.5A datasheet, X5043P-4.5A pinout, X5043P-4.5A application, or X5043P-4.5A equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in FN8126 Rev 3.00 and Intersil's official ordering information.
Technical Context
The X5043P-4.5A implements a dual-function supervisory architecture: a precision low-voltage detector with factory-trimmed 4.63V ±2.5% VTRIP and a nonvolatile-programmable watchdog timer with four selectable timeout intervals (200ms/600ms/1.4s/disabled). Its internal power-on reset circuit asserts RESET for ≥200ms after VCC exceeds VTRIP.
It embeds a 512 × 8-bit SPI EEPROM with Block Lock™ protection, Direct Write™ memory cells (1M write cycles, 100-year data retention), and supports 3.3MHz clock rate with 16-byte page writes. The device uses CS/WDI as combined chip select and watchdog input, and WP as hardware write protect.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5% - sets precise brownout detection point for 4.5–5.5V systems |
| RESET Polarity | Active-low open-drain - requires external pull-up; valid down to VCC = 1V |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable: 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s / disabled - configured via nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits |
| EEPROM Capacity | 4Kbits (512 × 8) - organized as one block; supports 16-byte page writes with 5ms typical cycle time |
| SPI Clock Rate | Up to 3.3MHz - compatible with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals without timing margin violation |
| Standby Current | <10µA (WDT off) or <50µA (WDT on) at VCC = 5.5V - enables battery-backed operation |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems and computing equipment |
| Package | 8-lead PDIP (Pb-free) - through-hole mounting; RoHS-compliant with matte tin termination |
Pinout & Package
8-lead PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; pin numbering counterclockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS/WDI | Chip Select Input / Watchdog Input | Active-low enable for SPI interface; falling edge resets watchdog timer; high-to-low transition required before any command |
| 2: WP | Write Protect Input | Hardware lock: LOW disables all nonvolatile writes (EEPROM & status register); overrides software WREN |
| 3: SO | Serial Output | Push-pull data output; shifts out read data on SCK falling edge; high-impedance when CS = HIGH |
| 4: VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuits and I/O; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 5: VCC | Supply Voltage | 4.5V–5.5V operating range; powers reset generator, watchdog, EEPROM, and logic; feeds VTRIP comparator |
| 6: SCK | Serial Clock Input | Controls SPI timing; latches SI data on rising edge; clocks SO data on falling edge; static-compatible |
| 7: SI | Serial Input | Accepts opcodes, addresses, and write data; sampled on SCK rising edge; MSB-first protocol |
| 8: RESET | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserted during power-up, brownout (VCC < VTRIP), or watchdog timeout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Voltage threshold adjustable via SPI command sequence using VP = 15–18V on WP pin - enables field calibration to ±10mV |
| Block Lock™ Protection | Nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits allow selective write-protection of 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of EEPROM array - prevents accidental firmware/data corruption |
| Direct Write™ EEPROM | 1 million write cycles endurance and 100-year data retention - eliminates need for wear-leveling firmware in host MCU |
| Dual Reset Sources | Single RESET pin responds to both power supply faults (VCC < VTRIP) and software hangs (watchdog timeout) - reduces BOM count vs discrete solutions |
| Low-Power Standby | <10µA current draw with watchdog disabled - suitable for always-on monitoring in battery-powered instrumentation |
| Hardware + Software Write Protection | Combines WP pin (hardware disable) with WREN instruction and status register lock - multi-layer defense against unintended writes |

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 VTRIP; no reprogrammable threshold; 2K-bit EEPROM; only 200ms/600ms watchdog options | Lacks VTRIP adjustability and 1.4s timeout; lower EEPROM density limits config storage depth | Choose when fixed 2.93V brownout point suffices and design space constraints favor smaller SOIC-8 footprint |
| STM802LSD-46F | 4.63V VTRIP (±2.5%); no integrated EEPROM; standalone reset + watchdog IC; push-pull RESET output | Requires external SPI EEPROM for data storage; higher component count and layout complexity | Prefer when EEPROM size >4Kbit needed or when strict separation of supervisory and memory functions is mandated |
Compared with MAX6361KA29+T and STM802LSD-46F, the X5043P-4.5A uniquely combines field-adjustable VTRIP, full 4K-bit EEPROM, and three watchdog timeout options in a single PDIP package - delivering higher integration, longer data retention, and greater system-level flexibility for cost-sensitive commercial computing designs.

FAQ
What is the exact VTRIP voltage specification for X5043P-4.5A?
The X5043P-4.5A has a factory-set VTRIP of 4.63V ±2.5%, corresponding to a guaranteed range of 4.50V to 4.75V. This threshold is laser-trimmed and remains stable over temperature and time. It is reprogrammable to custom values using the VP programming sequence described in FN8126 Rev 3.00, Page 6.
Does X5043P-4.5A support both active-low and active-high RESET outputs?
No - the X5043P-4.5A provides only an active-low RESET output (open-drain). The datasheet distinguishes X5043 (active-low) from X5045 (active-high); X5043P-4.5A is explicitly an X5043-series part. An external pull-up resistor is required for proper logic-level translation.
How many write cycles can the EEPROM in X5043P-4.5A endure?
The EEPROM in X5043P-4.5A guarantees a minimum of 1,000,000 write cycles per memory location, enabled by Intersil's proprietary Direct Write™ cell technology. This exceeds the 100,000-cycle spec of earlier generations and supports frequent logging or configuration updates in long-lifecycle products.
Can the watchdog timeout interval be changed dynamically during system operation?
Yes - the watchdog timeout interval in X5043P-4.5A is controlled by nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits in the status register, which can be rewritten via the WRSR instruction. Once set, the interval persists across power cycles and does not require reconfiguration at boot.
What package type is used for X5043P-4.5A, and is it RoHS-compliant?
X5043P-4.5A is supplied in an 8-lead PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with Pb-free matte tin plating, fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "P" in the part number denotes PDIP, and the "Z" suffix in related variants confirms Pb-free plus anneal construction.
