Product details
Overview
X5045S8IZ-4.5A from Intersil (now Renesas) is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 4Kbit SPI EEPROM in a single 8-lead SOIC package. It features a 4.63V ±2.5% reset threshold, 200ms reset timeout, and supports 3.3MHz SPI communication. It is used in industrial embedded systems requiring reliable brownout protection and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X5045S8IZ-4.5A datasheet, X5045S8IZ-4.5A pinout, X5045S8IZ-4.5A application, or X5045S8IZ-4.5A equivalent, key selection criteria include VTRIP reprogrammability, block-lock EEPROM protection granularity, watchdog timeout configurability (200ms/600ms/1.4s), low standby current (<10µA with WDT off), and compatibility with 4.5–5.5V supply rails.
Technical Context
The X5045S8IZ-4.5A implements a dual-function CS/WDI pin for chip select and watchdog input, with falling-edge-triggered watchdog reset. Its internal voltage monitor asserts RESET/RESET when VCC drops below 4.63V ±2.5%, holding it active until VCC exceeds the trip point for 200ms and stabilizes above 1V.
EEPROM operation uses SPI mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) with MSB-first transfer, supporting 16-byte page writes and 100,000 write cycles. The status register contains nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits for watchdog timeout selection and BL0/BL1 bits for quarter/half/full memory block lock protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP Threshold | 4.63V ±2.5%; precise brownout detection for 5V systems with factory-trimmed accuracy |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (Pb-free, RoHS compliant), 3.9mm × 4.9mm body, 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS/WDI | Chip Select / Watchdog Input | Active-low enable for SPI interface; falling edge resets watchdog timer; dual-role pin reduces MCU GPIO count |
| 2: WP | Write Protect Input | Hardware-level EEPROM write disable when pulled low; complements software block lock for robust data integrity |
| 3: SO | Serial Output | Push-pull output; data shifted out on SCK falling edge; no external pull-up required for clean signal integrity |
| 4: VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to avoid noise coupling |
| 5: VCC | Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5V operating range; powers supervisor logic, EEPROM array, and reset driver simultaneously |
| 6: SCK | Serial Clock Input | Controls SPI timing; rising edge latches SI data; falling edge clocks SO data; static clock support allows pause/resume |
| 7: SI | Serial Input | Receives opcodes, addresses, and write data; latched on SCK rising edge; supports full instruction set including WREN/WRSR |
| 8: RESET/RESET | Reset Output | Open-drain active-low output; drives external MCU reset; remains asserted until VCC > VTRIP + 200ms and >1V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Allows field adjustment of reset threshold using VP = 15–18V on WP pin; eliminates need for BOM changes when fine-tuning brownout behavior |
| Block Lock™ Protection | Four EEPROM protection modes (none/¼/½/all) controlled by nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits; prevents accidental overwrite of critical calibration or security keys |
| Direct Write™ EEPROM Cell | Guarantees 1M write cycles and 100-year data retention; suitable for long-lifecycle industrial deployments without refresh maintenance |
| Dual-Function CS/WDI Pin | Combines SPI chip select and watchdog trigger on one pin; simplifies PCB routing and reduces MCU pin usage in space-constrained designs |
| Built-in Write Enable Latch | Requires explicit WREN command before any write; prevents spurious writes during power transients or noise events on SI/SCK lines |

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+ | Single-function reset supervisor (no EEPROM); 4.63V threshold; 200ms timeout; 8-pin PDIP only | No integrated memory - requires external EEPROM and additional PCB area | Choose when memory integration is unnecessary and legacy through-hole assembly is required |
| MCP9808-E/P | Temperature sensor with I²C interface; no reset/watchdog/EEPROM functions | Not functionally comparable - serves entirely different sensing role | Not a valid alternative; included only as common mis-selection due to shared "MCP" prefix |
Compared with MAX6816EPA+ and MCP9808-E/P, the X5045S8IZ-4.5A uniquely combines voltage supervision, watchdog, and 4Kbit EEPROM in one SOIC-8 package - reducing component count, layout complexity, and qualification effort for industrial control and networking applications requiring both reliability and persistent storage.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage for X5045S8IZ-4.5A?
The X5045S8IZ-4.5A has a factory-programmed VTRIP of 4.63V ±2.5%, corresponding to the "-4.5A" suffix. This threshold is guaranteed over temperature and lifetime, and can be reprogrammed to higher values using the VP programming sequence described in the datasheet. The part remains functional down to VCC = 1V during reset assertion.
Does X5045S8IZ-4.5A support both active-low and active-high reset outputs?
No - the X5045S8IZ-4.5A provides only an active-low open-drain RESET output. The "X5045" designation indicates active-low reset; the "X5043" variant offers active-high. Both share identical EEPROM, watchdog, and supervision functionality, but differ solely in reset polarity and part marking.
Can the watchdog timeout of X5045S8IZ-4.5A be changed after soldering?
Yes - the watchdog timeout (200ms, 600ms, 1.4s, or disabled) is controlled by nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits in the status register and can be modified in-system via SPI commands (WRSR). These bits retain their state across power cycles and do not require VP programming - enabling field-upgradable fail-safe timing.
What is the maximum write endurance of the EEPROM in X5045S8IZ-4.5A?
The EEPROM in X5045S8IZ-4.5A is rated for a minimum of 1,000,000 write cycles and 100 years of data retention, enabled by Intersil's Direct Write™ cell technology. This exceeds standard EEPROM specifications and supports frequent logging or calibration updates in deployed equipment without wear-out concerns.
Is X5045S8IZ-4.5A compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers?
The X5045S8IZ-4.5A operates from 4.5V to 5.5V only and is not 3.3V-compatible. Its VCC range and 4.63V reset threshold are optimized for 5V systems. For 3.3V applications, consider the X5045S8IZ-2.7A variant (2.85–3.0V VTRIP, 2.7–5.5V VCC range), which shares identical pinout and functionality.
