Product details
Overview
X5325S8I-2.7 from Intersil is a CPU supervisor IC with integrated 32kbit SPI EEPROM, combining power-on reset control, watchdog timer, supply voltage supervision, and block-lock protected memory in a single 8-lead SOIC package. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V, features a factory-programmed 2.55V–2.7V reset threshold, supports 2MHz SPI (modes 0,0 and 1,1), and delivers <1µA standby current with watchdog disabled - used in industrial microcontroller systems requiring reliable brown-out protection and nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the X5325S8I-2.7 datasheet, X5325S8I-2.7 pinout, X5325S8I-2.7 application, or X5325S8I-2.7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, confirmed reset timing (200ms tPURST), validated VTRIP range (2.55–2.7V), and two documented alternative parts for industrial-grade CPU supervision with EEPROM.
Technical Context
The X5325S8I-2.7 implements a dual-function CS/WDI pin that serves as both chip select and watchdog input: a HIGH-to-LOW transition resets the watchdog timer, while sustained HIGH or LOW beyond the timeout asserts RESET. Its reset logic activates at VCC ≥ 1V and holds RESET/RESET active until VCC exceeds the programmed trip point for 200ms (tPURST).
Internally, it integrates a 32kbit (4k × 8) EEPROM array with Block Lock™ protection (configurable 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% lock), Direct Write™ memory cells (100k write cycles, 100-year retention), and a volatile status register with WIP/WEL/BL/WD bits accessible via SPI opcodes (READ, WRITE, WRSR, RDSR). The watchdog timeout is set by nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits (200ms/600ms/1.4s or disabled).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports wide-input industrial power rails without external regulators. |
| VTRIP Threshold | 2.55V to 2.7V (typ. 2.63V) - factory-set low-voltage detection point for brown-out reset. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200ms (tPURST, typ.) - ensures stable power and oscillator startup before processor release. |
| SPI Speed | 2MHz max - compatible with standard microcontroller SPI peripherals without clock division. |
| EEPROM Size | 32kbit (4096 × 8) - sufficient for firmware versioning, calibration data, and device configuration storage. |
| Standby Current | <1µA (WDT off, VCC = 5.5V) - enables ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems. |
| Watchdog Timeout | Selectable: 200ms / 600ms / 1.4s or disabled - configurable via nonvolatile WD0/WD1 bits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (Pb-free, RoHS compliant), body size 3.9mm × 4.9mm, 1.27mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: CS/WDI | Chip Select / Watchdog Input | Active-Low enable for SPI; HIGH-to-LOW transition resets watchdog timer; no response if held static beyond timeout. |
| 2: SO | Serial Output | Push-pull data output; shifts MSB-first on falling SCK edge; high-impedance when CS HIGH. |
| 3: WP | Write Protect | Hardware lock for status register writes when WPEN bit = 1; enables in-circuit programmable ROM mode. |
| 4: VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all internal circuits and I/O pins. |
| 5: VCC | Supply Voltage | Primary power input (2.7–5.5V); powers reset circuitry down to 1V; supplies EEPROM and logic. |
| 6: SI | Serial Input | Data/address/instruction input; latched on rising SCK edge; MSB-first protocol. |
| 7: SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; rising edge latches SI, falling edge drives SO; 0–2MHz operation. |
| 8: RESET/RESET | Reset Output | Active-HIGH open-drain output; asserted when VCC < VTRIP or watchdog timeout occurs; valid to VCC = 1V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reprogrammable VTRIP | Voltage threshold adjustable via VP programming sequence - enables field tuning for precision brown-out detection. |
| Block Lock™ EEPROM Protection | Nonvolatile BL0/BL1 bits allow hardware-level locking of 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of 32kbit array - prevents accidental overwrites. |
| Volatile Reset Source Flag | Flag bit (set/reset via SFLB/RFLB) distinguishes watchdog vs. low-VCC reset - enables targeted system recovery logic. |
| Self-Timed Page Writes | 32-byte page write mode with 5ms typical cycle time - reduces EEPROM programming overhead vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| Power-Up Reset Validity | RESET/RESET asserted down to VCC = 1V - guarantees early power-rail monitoring before oscillator stabilization. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Infusion Pump |

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; 1.8–5.5V VCC range. | Lacks field-adjustable VTRIP and smaller EEPROM - suitable where precise 2.93V trip is required and config storage needs are modest. | Choose when design requires guaranteed 2.93V trip without calibration effort and 16kbit EEPROM suffices. |
| STM809SWX6F | 2.93V fixed reset; no EEPROM; push-pull RESET output; 1.2–5.5V VCC; includes manual reset input. | Provides only reset supervision - requires separate EEPROM for configuration storage; lower quiescent current (0.5µA). | Choose when EEPROM integration is unnecessary and lowest possible standby current is prioritized over memory consolidation. |
Compared with X5325S8I-2.7, MAX6361KA29+T offers tighter VTRIP accuracy but lacks reprogrammability and half the EEPROM capacity, while STM809SWX6F reduces BOM count only if external EEPROM is already present and 2.93V reset suffices.

FAQ
What is the factory-default VTRIP setting for X5325S8I-2.7?
The X5325S8I-2.7 ships with a factory-programmed VTRIP range of 2.55V to 2.7V (typical 2.63V), corresponding to the "-2.7" suffix per the ordering table. This threshold is nonvolatile and remains stable across temperature and time unless explicitly reprogrammed using the VP-based VTRIP adjustment sequence defined in the datasheet.
Does X5325S8I-2.7 support both active-high and active-low reset outputs?
No - X5325S8I-2.7 provides an active-HIGH RESET/RESET output only, as indicated by the "X5325" prefix (X5323 is active-low). The output is open-drain, requiring an external pull-up resistor, and asserts when VCC falls below VTRIP or the watchdog times out. It remains valid down to VCC = 1V.
How is the watchdog timer enabled and configured on X5325S8I-2.7?
The watchdog timer on X5325S8I-2.7 is enabled by programming the nonvolatile WD0 and WD1 bits in the status register via the WRSR instruction. Factory default is disabled (WD1=1, WD0=1). Timeouts are fixed at 200ms (WD1=1, WD0=0), 600ms (WD1=0, WD0=1), or 1.4s (WD1=0, WD0=0); no runtime adjustment is possible after programming.
Can the EEPROM in X5325S8I-2.7 be written to during normal operation without disrupting the supervisor functions?
Yes - the 32kbit SPI EEPROM in X5325S8I-2.7 operates independently of reset/watchdog circuitry. Writes require WREN followed by WRITE opcode and address/data; the WIP bit indicates busy status. Supervisor functions (reset assertion, watchdog monitoring) continue uninterrupted during EEPROM access, provided CS timing and voltage conditions remain valid.
What package and temperature grade does X5325S8I-2.7 use?
X5325S8I-2.7 uses an 8-lead SOIC package (Pb-free, RoHS compliant) and is rated for the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by the "I" suffix in the part number and the ordering information table specifying -40°C to +85°C for X5325S8IZ variants.
