Product details
Overview
X5043S8Z-2.7T1 from Intersil (now Renesas) is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 4K-bit SPI EEPROM in an 8-pin SOIC package. It features a 2.85–3.0V reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, and operates across 2.7–5.5V VCC with <50µA standby current (watchdog on). It serves as a system-level reliability enhancer in embedded microcontroller applications requiring nonvolatile configuration storage and fail-safe reset control.
For engineers reviewing the X5043S8Z-2.7T1 datasheet, X5043S8Z-2.7T1 pinout, X5043S8Z-2.7T1 application, or X5043S8Z-2.7T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its factory-default 200ms watchdog timeout (WD1=0, WD0=0), reprogrammable VTRIP capability, block-lock EEPROM protection (1/4, 1/2, full, or none), and compatibility with standard SPI buses up to 3.3MHz - all critical for industrial control, networking, and battery-powered systems where brownout resilience and data integrity are mandatory.
Technical Context
The X5043S8Z-2.7T1 implements a dual-function CS/WDI pin that serves both chip select and watchdog input, with falling-edge-triggered watchdog reset. Its internal power-on reset circuit asserts RESET/RESET for ≥200ms after VCC exceeds 2.85V, and holds it active until VCC remains above trip threshold for the same duration during recovery.
It uses a nonvolatile status register (default 0x30) to configure watchdog timeout (200ms, 600ms, 1.4s, or disabled) and EEPROM block lock (BL0/BL1 bits), while supporting direct VTRIP reprogramming via high-voltage sequence (VP = 15–18V applied to WP) - enabling field-adjustable reset thresholds without hardware changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP Threshold | 2.85–3.0V (factory-set; reprogrammable via VP sequence) |
| Watchdog Timeout | 200ms (default; configurable to 600ms, 1.4s, or disabled) |
| EEPROM Capacity | 4K-bit (512 × 8), organized in 16-byte pages with 1M write cycles endurance |
| SPI Clock Rate | Up to 3.3MHz - supports fast configuration reads/writes without MCU clock dependency |
| Reset Assertion Validity | Valid down to VCC = 1V - ensures reliable reset during deep brownout conditions |
| Standby Current | <50µA max (watchdog enabled), <10µA max (watchdog disabled) |
| Package | 8-pin SOIC (RoHS-compliant, Pb-free plus anneal) |
Pinout & Package
8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, RoHS-compliant, Pb-free plus anneal finish, MSL level per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS/WDI | Chip Select / Watchdog Input | Active-low enable for SPI interface; falling edge resets watchdog timer |
| 2: WP | Write Protect Input | Low disables all nonvolatile writes (EEPROM & status register); overrides WREN latch |
| 3: SO | Serial Output | Push-pull output; data shifted out on SCK falling edge during READ/WRSR |
| 4: VSS | Ground Reference | Primary return path for VCC, logic, and reset circuitry |
| 5: VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.7–5.5V operation; powers reset generator, watchdog, EEPROM, and SPI logic |
| 6: SCK | Serial Clock Input | Controls timing; latches SI on rising edge, updates SO on falling edge |
| 7: SI | Serial Input | Accepts opcodes, addresses, and data; latched on SCK rising edge |
| 8: RESET/RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Open-drain output asserted when VCC < VTRIP or watchdog times out; requires external pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Enables field calibration of reset threshold using 15–18V VP on WP pin - eliminates BOM variants for custom voltage rails |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM Protection | Four programmable protection levels (none, 1/4, 1/2, or full array) prevent accidental overwrites of critical firmware or calibration data |
| Direct Write™ EEPROM Cell | Guarantees ≥1,000,000 write cycles and ≥100 years data retention - suitable for frequent logging or parameter tuning |
| Dual-Function CS/WDI Pin | Reduces MCU GPIO count by combining chip select and watchdog feed into one pin - simplifies PCB routing and firmware design |
| Built-in Write Enable Latch | Requires explicit WREN command before any write; automatically cleared on power-up, write completion, or WP low - prevents spurious writes during noise events |
Applications
| Industrial Process Controllers | Network Routers & Switches |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring PLC I/O modules during voltage sags or transient surges in factory automation lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides brownout reset and watchdog supervision while storing calibration coefficients and fault logs in protected EEPROM.

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/SN | Temperature sensor with I²C interface; no reset, watchdog, or EEPROM functions | Not functionally equivalent - lacks core supervisor functionality | Select only if temperature monitoring is primary need and supervisor functions are handled elsewhere |
| MAX6361KA29+T | Supervisor-only IC (no EEPROM); fixed 2.93V reset threshold; 14-pin TSSOP | Requires external EEPROM for configuration storage; higher pin count and board area | Choose when EEPROM integration is unnecessary and strict 2.93V reset accuracy is required |
Compared with X5043S8Z-2.7T1, MAX6361KA29+T offers tighter VTRIP tolerance but adds system complexity via external memory, while MCP9808-E/SN provides no supervisor capability - making X5043S8Z-2.7T1 the only single-chip solution delivering matched 2.85–3.0V reset, programmable watchdog, and 4K-bit block-locked EEPROM in 8-pin SOIC.

FAQ
What is the factory-default watchdog timeout setting for X5043S8Z-2.7T1?
The X5043S8Z-2.7T1 ships with watchdog timer disabled by default (WD1=1, WD0=1 in status register 0x30). To enable 200ms timeout, the status register must be rewritten to 0x08 using WRSR instruction. This default prevents unintended system resets during initial power-up before firmware configures the watchdog.
Can the VTRIP threshold of X5043S8Z-2.7T1 be adjusted in-circuit?
Yes, the VTRIP threshold of X5043S8Z-2.7T1 can be reprogrammed in-circuit using a 15–18V programming voltage (VP) applied to the WP pin while issuing specific WREN + write sequences to address 01h (set) or 03h (reset). This allows field calibration without replacing the component.
Does X5043S8Z-2.7T1 support SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)?
Yes, X5043S8Z-2.7T1 operates in SPI Mode 0: data is sampled on the rising edge of SCK (CPHA=0) and output changes on the falling edge (CPOL=0). The datasheet confirms SI latching on rising edge and SO toggling on falling edge - matching standard Mode 0 timing.
How does the block lock protection work in X5043S8Z-2.7T1's EEPROM?
X5043S8Z-2.7T1 uses two nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits in the status register to define protected regions: 00 = none, 01 = upper 1/4 (0x180–0x1FF), 10 = upper 1/2 (0x100–0x1FF), 11 = full array (0x000–0x1FF). Protected blocks remain readable but reject all write attempts unless BL bits are first cleared.
Is X5043S8Z-2.7T1 compatible with 1.8V I/O systems?
No, X5043S8Z-2.7T1 requires VCC ≥2.7V and specifies VIH ≥0.7×VCC and VIL ≤0.3×VCC. At 1.8V VCC, VIH would be ≥1.26V - exceeding typical 1.8V logic HIGH thresholds (1.65–1.95V). It is not rated for 1.8V operation and may exhibit unreliable communication or reset behavior.
