Product details
Overview
X5323S8I-4.5A from Intersil is a CPU supervisor IC integrating power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and 32kbit SPI EEPROM in an 8-lead SOIC package. It asserts active-low RESET at VCC < 4.5V (typ. 4.63V), supports selectable watchdog timeouts (200ms/600ms/1.4s), and operates from 4.5V to 5.5V with <50µA standby current (WDT on). It is used in industrial microcontroller systems requiring reliable brown-out protection and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X5323S8I-4.5A datasheet, X5323S8I-4.5A pinout, X5323S8I-4.5A application, or X5323S8I-4.5A equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in FN8131 Rev 3.00 and Intersil's official specifications.
Technical Context
The X5323S8I-4.5A implements a dual-function CS/WDI pin for chip select and watchdog input, with a volatile flag bit distinguishing watchdog vs. low-voltage reset causes. Its reset logic asserts RESET/RESET down to VCC = 1V and holds it active for 200ms after VCC exceeds the 4.5–4.75V trip threshold.
It features a programmable VTRIP threshold (factory-set to 4.5–4.75V for -4.5A variants) that can be reprogrammed via VP pulses on SCK/SI, and integrates Block Lock™ EEPROM protection enabling 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% array write lock with nonvolatile status register control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VTRIP Threshold | 4.5–4.75V (min/typ/max); ensures system reset before microcontroller enters unstable operation during 5V rail brown-out. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 200ms (WD1=1, WD0=0); provides fast fault recovery for time-critical embedded firmware loops. |
| EEPROM Size | 32kbit (4k × 8); stores calibration data, device ID, or firmware configuration without external memory. |
| Supply Range | 4.5V to 5.5V; compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of ±5% regulation variation. |
| Standby Current | <50µA max (WDT enabled); enables long-term battery-backed operation in always-on monitoring systems. |
| SPI Speed | 2MHz max (modes 0,0 and 1,1); supports high-throughput configuration reads/writes with common MCU SPI peripherals. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms (typical); guarantees sufficient hold time for oscillator stabilization and processor core initialization. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (Pb-free, RoHS compliant), body width 3.9mm, lead pitch 1.27mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 CS/WDI | Chip Select / Watchdog Input | Active-low enable for SPI commands; falling edge restarts watchdog timer - dual-role pin reduces board routing complexity. |
| 2 SO | Serial Output | Push-pull output delivering read data MSB-first; no external pull-up required for clean signal integrity. |
| 3 WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register writes when WPEN bit is set; prevents accidental corruption of watchdog or block-lock settings. |
| 4 VSS | Ground | Primary reference for all digital and analog circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to avoid reset timing jitter. |
| 5 SI | Serial Input | Latches instruction/address/data on rising SCK edge; accepts WREN, READ, WRITE, and WRSR opcodes per Table 1. |
| 6 SCK | Serial Clock | Controls SPI timing; rising edge clocks inputs, falling edge outputs data - supports pause/resume operation. |
| 7 RESET/RESET | Reset Output | Open-drain active-low output; requires external pull-up; asserts at VCC ≤ 4.5V and remains active until VCC > VTRIP + 200ms. |
| 8 VCC | Supply Voltage | Power input for entire device; powers reset logic, watchdog, EEPROM, and SPI interface; valid from 4.5V to 5.5V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Voltage threshold adjustable in-system using VP pulses on SCK/SI - eliminates need for custom BOMs across voltage variants. |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM Protection | Nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits allow locking 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of 32kbit array - prevents field firmware corruption while permitting partial updates. |
| Volatile Reset Cause Flag | FLAG bit (set/reset via SFLB/RFLB) distinguishes watchdog timeout from low-VCC reset - enables targeted diagnostics in failure logs. |
| Self-timed EEPROM Writes | 5ms typical write cycle (32-byte page mode); removes software timing dependencies and simplifies driver implementation. |
| Low-VCC Valid Reset | RESET/RESET asserted down to VCC = 1V - ensures deterministic behavior even during deep brown-out or battery depletion. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Medical Infusion Pump Controller |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6361KA29+T | Fixed 2.93V reset threshold; no VTRIP programming; 16kbit EEPROM; 3.0–5.5V supply. | Lacks reprogrammable VTRIP and 32kbit capacity; suitable only for fixed-threshold 3V/5V hybrid systems. | Select only if VTRIP adjustment is unnecessary and EEPROM size ≥16kbit suffices. |
| STM8AF6266TCY | MCU-based solution with internal 2kbyte EEPROM and configurable reset logic; requires firmware development. | Not a drop-in replacement; adds software overhead and validation burden; no hardware watchdog independence. | Choose only when system already uses STM8A platform and requires tight integration of supervision logic with application code. |
Compared with MAX6361KA29+T and STM8AF6266TCY, the X5323S8I-4.5A uniquely combines field-programmable VTRIP, 32kbit EEPROM, and hardware watchdog independence - enabling faster qualification, smaller footprint, and higher reliability in 5V industrial designs without MCU dependency.

FAQ
What is the factory-default VTRIP setting for X5323S8I-4.5A?
The X5323S8I-4.5A ships with a factory-programmed VTRIP range of 4.5V to 4.75V (min to max), with a typical value of 4.63V. This threshold is fixed unless reprogrammed using the VP pulse sequence on SCK and SI pins as defined in FN8131 Rev 3.00 Section 4. The reset remains active until VCC exceeds this threshold for 200ms.
Does X5323S8I-4.5A support both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
No - the X5323S8I-4.5A provides only an active-low RESET/RESET output. The "X5323" prefix denotes active-low reset; active-high variants are designated "X5325" (e.g., X5325S8I-4.5A). Pin 7 function and internal logic are hardwired for low-assertion behavior, and no configuration register controls polarity.
How is the watchdog timeout period selected on X5323S8I-4.5A?
The watchdog timeout on X5323S8I-4.5A is set via two nonvolatile bits (WD1, WD0) in the status register, programmed using the WRSR instruction. Valid combinations are: WD1=1, WD0=0 → 200ms; WD1=0, WD0=1 → 600ms; WD1=0, WD0=0 → 1.4s; WD1=1, WD0=1 → disabled (factory default). These values persist across power cycles.
Can the EEPROM in X5323S8I-4.5A be partially protected against writes?
Yes - the X5323S8I-4.5A supports four levels of Block Lock™ protection via BL0/BL1 bits: none (factory default), lower 1k bytes ($0C00–$0FFF), lower 2k bytes ($0800–$0FFF), or full 4k-byte array ($0000–$0FFF). Protection is nonvolatile and enforced in hardware, allowing read access but blocking writes to locked regions.
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by X5323S8I-4.5A?
The X5323S8I-4.5A supports SPI clock frequencies up to 2MHz, compliant with modes 0,0 and 1,1. Timing parameters including tCYC (500ns min), tSU (50ns min), and tH (50ns min) are specified over the full 4.5V–5.5V supply range and −40°C to +85°C temperature range per FN8131 Rev 3.00 AC Electrical Specifications.
