Product details
Overview
X5323P from Intersil is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 32kbit SPI EEPROM in a single 8-lead PDIP package. It provides active-low reset assertion at VCC < 4.5V (typ. 4.63V), selectable watchdog timeout (200ms/600ms/1.4s), and block-lock EEPROM protection. Used in industrial microcontroller systems requiring reliable brown-out recovery and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X5323P datasheet, X5323P pinout, X5323P application, or X5323P equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions for SOIC/PDIP variants, confirmed VTRIP reprogramming capability, standby current specs (<1µA watchdog off), and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The X5323P implements a dual-function CS/WDI pin that serves as both chip select and watchdog input-requiring HIGH-to-LOW transitions to reset the watchdog timer. Its reset logic asserts RESET/RESET active low when VCC drops below 4.5–4.75V (factory-programmed threshold) and holds it active for ≥200ms after VCC recovers.
Internally, the device combines a serial EEPROM array organized as 4k × 8 bits with Intersil's Block Lock™ protection, supporting 32-byte page writes and self-timed 10ms write cycles. The status register includes volatile WIP/WEL flags and nonvolatile WD0/WD1 watchdog timing bits (factory default: disabled) plus BL0/BL1 memory lock bits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - powers system logic rails directly without LDO; supports legacy 5V microcontrollers. |
| VTRIP Threshold | 4.5V to 4.75V (typ. 4.63V) - precise brown-out detection aligned with 5V TTL logic thresholds. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable: 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s - nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits set fixed interval unaffected by power cycling. |
| EEPROM Capacity | 32kbits (4k × 8) - stores firmware version, calibration data, or device ID with 100k write cycles endurance. |
| Standby Current | <1µA (WDT off) - enables battery-backed operation for >10 years in low-power monitoring applications. |
| SPI Interface | 2MHz max, modes 0,0 and 1,1 - compatible with standard AVR, PIC, and ARM Cortex-M SPI peripherals. |
| Reset Output | Active-low open-drain RESET/RESET - drives external reset lines or pull-up resistors; valid down to VCC = 1V. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead PDIP (plastic dual in-line package), Pb-free, RoHS compliant, through-hole wave-solder only.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CS/WDI | Chip Select / Watchdog Input | LOW enables SPI commands; HIGH-to-LOW transition resets watchdog timer; no internal pull-up. |
| 2 SO | Serial Output | Push-pull data output; shifts MSB-first on SCK falling edge; high-impedance when CS HIGH. |
| 3 WP | Write Protect | Combined with WPEN bit to lock status register; LOW + WPEN=1 disables all nonvolatile writes. |
| 4 VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog circuitry; must be connected before VCC. |
| 5 SI | Serial Input | Latches opcode/address/data on SCK rising edge; accepts MSB-first 8-bit instructions (e.g., WREN, READ). |
| 6 SCK | Serial Clock | Controls SPI timing; rising edge latches input, falling edge outputs data; static clock allowed. |
| 7 RESET/RESET | Reset Output | Active-low open-drain output; asserted during power-up, brown-out, or watchdog timeout; requires external pull-up. |
| 8 VCC | Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5V input; powers internal reset comparator, EEPROM, and logic; VTRIP programming uses VCC as reference. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Voltage threshold adjustable via VP pulse sequence on SCK/SI; enables field calibration to ±0.1V accuracy. |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM Protection | Nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits protect 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of memory - prevents accidental firmware overwrite. |
| Volatile Reset Source Flag | FLB bit distinguishes watchdog timeout vs. low-VCC reset - eliminates diagnostic ambiguity in failure analysis. |
| Power-Up Reset Timing | tPURST = 100–280ms - ensures oscillator stabilization before processor release; valid down to VCC = 1V. |
| In-Circuit Programmable ROM Mode | WP pin + WPEN bit locks status register permanently - enables secure manufacturing configuration burn-in. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361KA29+T | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold; no VTRIP reprogramming; 16kbit EEPROM; 3.0–5.5V supply. | Lacks field-adjustable trip point; smaller memory; suitable for cost-sensitive designs where 2.93V reset suffices. | Select when VTRIP flexibility is unnecessary and board space favors SOT23-6 over PDIP-8. |
| MCP9808-E/MS | Temperature sensor IC with I²C interface; no reset/watchdog/EEPROM functions - not functionally equivalent. | Not a CPU supervisor; serves thermal monitoring only; cannot replace X5323P in reset-critical systems. | Reject - misaligned function set; violates core requirement for integrated reset + watchdog + EEPROM. |
Compared with X5323P, MAX6361KA29+T offers lower cost and smaller footprint but sacrifices VTRIP programmability and halved EEPROM capacity; MCP9808-E/MS is functionally incompatible and must be excluded from supervisor replacement consideration.

FAQ
What is the factory-default VTRIP setting for X5323P?
The X5323P ships with a factory-programmed VTRIP range of 4.5V to 4.75V (typ. 4.63V), optimized for 5V systems. This threshold is nonvolatile and remains fixed unless reprogrammed using the VP pulse sequence on SCK and SI pins. The device does not ship with user-modified VTRIP values - all units begin at this calibrated specification.
Can X5323P operate with a 3.3V supply?
No, X5323P is specified only for 4.5V to 5.5V operation per its ordering code "-4.5A". It lacks internal regulation for 3.3V compatibility. For 3.3V systems, use X5323S8Z-2.7A (2.7–5.5V range, 2.85–3.0V VTRIP) or X5323S8IZ-2.7A for extended temperature. Attempting 3.3V operation on X5323P will result in undefined reset behavior and EEPROM write failures.
How is the watchdog timer enabled on X5323P?
The watchdog timer on X5323P is enabled by writing WD0=0 and WD1=0 (1.4s timeout), WD0=1 and WD1=0 (200ms), or WD0=0 and WD1=1 (600ms) to the status register via WRSR instruction. Factory default is WD1=1, WD0=1 (disabled). Once programmed, the setting persists across power cycles and cannot be altered without first clearing WPEN and pulling WP HIGH.
Does X5323P support SPI mode 0,1 or 1,0?
No, X5323P supports only SPI modes 0,0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0) and 1,1 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1) as stated in the datasheet. It does not support mode 0,1 or 1,0. In mode 0,0, data is sampled on the rising edge of SCK and shifted out on the falling edge; correct timing alignment is required to avoid read corruption or failed writes.
What happens to the EEPROM contents during a VTRIP reprogramming sequence?
VTRIP reprogramming on X5323P affects only the internal voltage reference circuitry and does not alter EEPROM contents, status register bits (WD0/WD1/BL0/BL1), or memory array data. The procedure applies VP to SCK/SI while holding CS/WDI and WP HIGH - no EEPROM access or write cycle is initiated, ensuring full data retention and configuration integrity throughout the adjustment process.
