Product details
Overview
X5043S8-2.7T1 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-lead SOIC package. It features 2.85V VTRIP threshold, active-low RESET output, 3.3MHz SPI interface, and block-lock EEPROM protection - deployed in industrial process controllers requiring reliable brownout recovery and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X5043S8-2.7T1 datasheet, X5043S8-2.7T1 pinout, X5043S8-2.7T1 application, or X5043S8-2.7T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include VTRIP accuracy at 2.85V ±2.5%, watchdog timeout configurability (200ms/600ms/1.4s), EEPROM endurance (1M cycles), low standby current (<10µA with WDT off), and SOIC-8 compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The X5043S8-2.7T1 implements a dual-function CS/WDI pin for chip select and watchdog input, with internal reset timing governed by a 200ms release delay after VCC exceeds VTRIP. Its status register contains nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits to configure watchdog timeout and BL0/BL1 bits to enable quarter/half/full EEPROM block lock protection.
Power-on reset activation occurs at VCC ≥ 1V, and RESET remains asserted until VCC stabilizes above 2.85V for 200ms. The SPI interface operates up to 3.3MHz with MSB-first protocol, supporting 16-byte page writes and automatic address increment during reads - all managed via WREN/WRSR/READ/WRITE opcodes without external address lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP Threshold | 2.85V ±2.5% - precise brownout detection for 3.3V systems with guaranteed reset assertion below operating voltage |
| RESET Polarity | Active-low open-drain - compatible with standard microcontroller reset inputs and pull-up biasing |
| EEPROM Capacity | 4Kbit (512 × 8) - sufficient for bootloader parameters, calibration data, and device identity storage |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable: 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s - configurable via nonvolatile status register for varying firmware execution windows |
| SPI Clock Rate | 3.3MHz max - enables fast configuration read/write without burdening host MCU timing budgets |
| Standby Current | <10µA (WDT off) - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and remote sensors |
| Endurance | 1,000,000 write cycles - supports frequent field-updatable settings without wear-out risk |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit), RoHS-compliant Pb-free plus anneal finish, JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS/WDI | Chip Select / Watchdog Input | Active-low enable for SPI commands; falling edge resets watchdog timer - dual-role pin reduces MCU GPIO count |
| 2: WP | Write Protect Input | Hardware-level EEPROM lock - LOW disables all nonvolatile writes, independent of software status register |
| 3: SO | Serial Output | Push-pull data output - eliminates need for external pull-up on SPI MISO line |
| 4: VSS | Ground Reference | Common return path for digital logic and reset circuitry - must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 5: VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.7–5.5V operation - supports both 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| 6: SCK | Serial Clock Input | Edge-triggered SPI clock - rising edge latches SI, falling edge clocks SO |
| 7: SI | Serial Input | SPI MOSI input - receives opcodes, addresses, and write data with no external buffering |
| 8: RESET | Reset Output | Open-drain active-low signal - drives microcontroller reset with 200ms debounce and brownout hold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Voltage threshold adjustable via SPI command sequence using VP = 15–18V on WP pin - enables field calibration without hardware change |
| Block Lock™ Protection | Configurable 1/4, 1/2, or full EEPROM array lock via status register - prevents accidental overwrite of critical firmware parameters |
| Direct Write™ EEPROM Cell | 1M write cycles and 100-year data retention - validated for industrial deployments with infrequent but mission-critical updates |
| Low-Voltage Reset Validity | RESET asserted down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic reset behavior even during deep brownout conditions |
| Write Enable Latch | WREN/WRDI opcodes required before memory writes - adds software-controlled write gating beyond hardware WP pin |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6816EPA+ | Discrete supervisor + separate 25LC040 EEPROM; no integrated block lock or reprogrammable VTRIP | Requires two ICs and additional PCB area; lacks unified watchdog-EEPROM coordination | Choose only if existing design uses MAXIM analog supervisors and requires pin-compatible upgrade path |
| MCP9808-E/P | Temperature sensor with I²C interface - no reset, watchdog, or EEPROM functions | Not functionally comparable; serves entirely different sensing role | Not a valid alternative - excluded due to missing core supervisor functionality |
Compared with MAX6816EPA+, X5043S8-2.7T1 reduces BOM count by 1, eliminates inter-IC timing skew between reset and memory access, and provides field-adjustable VTRIP - critical for systems operating near voltage margins.

FAQ
What is the VTRIP voltage for X5043S8-2.7T1 and how is it set?
The X5043S8-2.7T1 has a factory-programmed VTRIP of 2.85V ±2.5%. This threshold is set during manufacturing and remains stable over temperature and time. Unlike some variants, X5043S8-2.7T1 does not support in-field VTRIP reprogramming - its suffix "-2.7" denotes the 2.7–5.5V VCC range and fixed 2.85V trip point. For adjustable thresholds, consider X5043S8Z-2.7A variants with dedicated programming sequences.
Does X5043S8-2.7T1 support both active-low and active-high reset outputs?
No, X5043S8-2.7T1 provides only an active-low RESET output (open-drain). The "X5043" designation indicates active-low reset; "X5045" variants provide active-high RESET. The datasheet confirms RESET/RESET labeling for X5043 devices reflects the active-low signal, and no internal configuration changes the polarity. External inversion would require discrete components.
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by X5043S8-2.7T1?
X5043S8-2.7T1 supports a maximum SPI clock frequency of 3.3MHz across its full 2.7–5.5V VCC range and 0°C to +70°C temperature grade. This is specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table (Page 14) and verified under load with SO output drive capability. Exceeding 3.3MHz may cause setup/hold violations or incomplete opcode decoding.
How many watchdog timeout options does X5043S8-2.7T1 offer and how are they selected?
X5043S8-2.7T1 offers three watchdog timeout periods: 200ms, 600ms, and 1.4s - selected via nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits in the status register. These bits are programmed using the WRSR instruction and persist across power cycles. Factory default is WD1=1, WD0=1 (watchdog disabled), but users can configure timeouts via SPI before deployment. No external components are needed.
Is X5043S8-2.7T1 RoHS compliant and what packaging format does "T1" indicate?
Yes, X5043S8-2.7T1 is RoHS compliant per Intersil's Pb-Free Plus Anneal specification, using 100% matte tin termination and lead-free molding compounds. The "T1" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging - standard for automated SMT assembly - with quantities typically supplied in 2,500-unit reels per JEDEC standard for SOIC-8 devices.
