Product details
Overview
X5043S8I-2.7AT1 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–3.0V VTRIP, -40°C to +85°C operation, active-low RESET output, and 3.3MHz SPI interface - used for reliable boot sequencing and data retention in industrial microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the X5043S8I-2.7AT1 datasheet, X5043S8I-2.7AT1 pinout, X5043S8I-2.7AT1 application, or X5043S8I-2.7AT1 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed VTRIP threshold, validated watchdog timeout options, exact SPI timing compliance, and real-world block-lock protection behavior - all specific to the X5043S8I-2.7AT1 variant.
Technical Context
The X5043S8I-2.7AT1 implements a dual-function CS/WDI pin that serves as both chip select and watchdog input, with falling-edge-triggered watchdog reset. Its internal voltage detector asserts RESET when VCC drops below 2.85V (±2.5%), holding it active until VCC exceeds 2.85V for 200ms and stabilizes.
It uses a nonvolatile status register to configure watchdog timeout (200ms/600ms/1.4s/disabled) and EEPROM block lock (none/¼/½/all), with Direct Write™ EEPROM cells rated for 1M write cycles and 100-year data retention. The device supports 16-byte page writes with 10ms typical write cycle time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP Threshold | 2.85V ±2.5% - ensures system reset before brownout at 2.7V nominal supply |
| Operating Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3V and 5V logic domains |
| SPI Clock Rate | 3.3MHz max - enables fast configuration and EEPROM access without external clock dividers |
| EEPROM Capacity | 4Kbit (512 × 8) - stores critical calibration, serial ID, or firmware state in one integrated device |
| Watchdog Timeout Options | 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s / disabled - selectable via nonvolatile status register bits WD1/WD0 |
| Reset Output Type | Active-low open-drain - allows wired-OR reset bus sharing and flexible pull-up selection |
| Standby Current (WDT off) | <10µA at 5.5V - minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (3.9mm × 4.9mm), RoHS-compliant, Pb-free plus anneal finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS/WDI | Chip Select Input / Watchdog Input | Active-low enable for SPI commands; falling edge resets watchdog timer |
| 2: WP | Write Protect Input | Low = disables all nonvolatile writes (EEPROM and status register); overrides WREN latch |
| 3: SO | Serial Output | Push-pull output; data shifted out on SCK falling edge during READ operations |
| 4: VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog circuitry |
| 5: VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.7V–5.5V input powering reset generator, watchdog, EEPROM, and SPI interface |
| 6: SCK | Serial Clock Input | Controls timing of SI sampling (rising edge) and SO output (falling edge) |
| 7: SI | Serial Input | Accepts opcodes, addresses, and data; latched on SCK rising edge |
| 8: RESET | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output asserted during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Voltage threshold can be adjusted to custom values (e.g., 2.92V) using VP = 15–18V on WP pin and WREN + write to address 01h |
| Block Lock™ Protection | Nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits allow selective write-protection of 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of EEPROM array |
| Direct Write™ EEPROM | 1M write endurance and 100-year data retention - eliminates need for external wear-leveling firmware |
| Write Enable Latch (WEL) | Volatility ensures write safety: latch auto-resets on power-up, write completion, or WP low assertion |
| Valid RESET down to 1V | Guarantees clean reset assertion even during deep brownout or battery sag conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CPU supervisor with SPI EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361KA29+T | Fixed 2.93V VTRIP, no reprogrammability; 2Kbit EEPROM; no block lock | Lacks adjustable reset threshold and EEPROM protection granularity - suitable only for fixed-voltage designs without data security needs | Select if 2.93V threshold suffices and EEPROM size/capability requirements are lower |
| MCP9808-E/P | Temperature sensor IC - no reset, watchdog, or EEPROM functions | Not functionally equivalent; serves entirely different sensing role | Not applicable as alternative - included only due to common distributor catalog misclassification |
Compared with MAX6361KA29+T, X5043S8I-2.7AT1 offers field-adjustable VTRIP, 2× EEPROM capacity, and hardware-enforced block locking - critical for industrial recalibration and regulatory data integrity. MCP9808-E/P is not a functional substitute.

FAQ
What is the exact VTRIP voltage specification for X5043S8I-2.7AT1?
The X5043S8I-2.7AT1 has a factory-programmed VTRIP of 2.85V ±2.5%, corresponding to the "-2.7A" suffix per FN8126 Rev 3.00 ordering table. This threshold is guaranteed over -40°C to +85°C and remains stable across 1000+ power cycles unless reprogrammed using the VP=15–18V method described on page 6.
Does X5043S8I-2.7AT1 support active-high reset output?
No. X5043S8I-2.7AT1 provides only active-low RESET output (open-drain). The "X5045" variant in the same family offers active-high RESET, but X5043S8I-2.7AT1 is strictly active-low. Pull-up resistor selection determines logic-high level, compatible with 1.8V–5.5V host systems.
Can the watchdog timer on X5043S8I-2.7AT1 be disabled after power-up?
Yes. The watchdog timer is disabled by default (WD1=WD0=1 per status register default value 30h). It can be enabled or reconfigured via WRSR instruction writing to status register bits WD1/WD0. Once set, the timeout persists across power cycles since these bits are nonvolatile.
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by X5043S8I-2.7AT1?
X5043S8I-2.7AT1 supports up to 3.3MHz SCK frequency across its full 2.7V–5.5V VCC range, as specified in AC Electrical Characteristics (page 14). This allows full-speed communication with modern MCUs without clock stretching or wait states.
How does the block lock protection work on X5043S8I-2.7AT1's EEPROM?
X5043S8I-2.7AT1 uses nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits in its status register to protect 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of the 512-byte EEPROM array. When a region is locked, write attempts (including page writes) to that region are ignored - even if WREN is set and WP is high. Protection is enforced in hardware, independent of software control.
