Product details
Overview
ADM1232AARNZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a microprocessor supervisory circuit that monitors +5 V supply voltage, detects microprocessor lockup via STROBE input (20 ns pulse width), and provides dual reset outputs (active-high RESET and open-drain active-low RESET) with 250–1000 ms active time. It supports 5% or 10% VCC trip tolerance and operates from −40°C to +85°C in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADM1232AARNZ-REEL datasheet, ADM1232AARNZ-REEL pinout, ADM1232AARNZ-REEL application, or ADM1232AARNZ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip accuracy (±5% or ±10%), STROBE timeout configurability (150/600/1200 ms), push-button reset debounce (20 ms min hold), dual-reset polarity support, and SOIC_N-8 package compatibility for space-constrained industrial PCBs.
Technical Context
The ADM1232AARNZ-REEL integrates a precision voltage monitor, programmable watchdog timer (via TD pin), and debounced manual reset input (PB RESET). Its STROBE input accepts high-to-low transitions as narrow as 20 ns, enabling compatibility with high-speed microprocessors operating above 50 MHz.
It features two independent reset outputs: RESET (push-pull, active-high) capable of sourcing/sinking up to 10 mA, and RESET (open-drain, active-low) requiring external pull-up. Trip point selection (4.5–4.74 V) is set by TOLERANCE pin logic level (GND = 5%, VCC = 10%).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Voltage | 4.62 V (5% tol., TOLERANCE = GND) or 4.37 V (10% tol., TOLERANCE = VCC) - defines precise brownout detection threshold for +5 V rail |
| STROBE Pulse Width | 20 ns minimum - ensures reliable detection of fast microprocessor activity signals without missing pulses |
| STROBE Timeout Period | 150 ms (TD = 0 V), 600 ms (TD = floating), or 1200 ms (TD = VCC) - configurable watchdog window for system health monitoring |
| RESET Active Time | 250–1000 ms - guarantees sufficient reset assertion duration for full microprocessor initialization |
| Supply Current | 20–50 μA (CMOS-level inputs) - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or portable systems |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Package | 8-Lead SOIC_N (R-8, JEDEC MS-012-AA) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
ADM1232AARNZ-REEL is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC (SOIC_N) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and 5.00 × 4.00 mm body dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PB RESET | Debounced manual reset input | Accepts push-button or logic-low signal; guaranteed response to ≥20 ms low pulse, immune to <1 ms glitches |
| TD | Strobe timeout configuration | Selects watchdog window: 0 V → 150 ms, floating → 600 ms, VCC → 1200 ms |
| TOLERANCE | Voltage trip point selector | GND → 5% tolerance (4.62 V), VCC → 10% tolerance (4.37 V) |
| GND | Ground reference | 0 V return for all internal circuitry and I/O pins |
| RESET | Active-high reset output | Push-pull driver; sources/sinks up to 10 mA; asserts during power-up, brownout, or STROBE timeout |
| RESET | Active-low open-drain reset output | Requires external pull-up; sinks up to 12 mA; complements RESET for mixed-logic interface needs |
| STROBE | Microprocessor activity monitor input | Detects high-to-low transitions; triggers reset if no edge occurs within selected TD timeout period |
| VCC | +5 V power supply input | Operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V; internally powers all monitoring functions and outputs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable STROBE timeout | Three user-selectable windows (150/600/1200 ms) via single TD pin - eliminates need for external RC timing components |
| 5% or 10% VCC tolerance | Hardware-selectable trip point using TOLERANCE pin - avoids firmware configuration and improves boot reliability |
| 20 ns STROBE pulse detection | Supports microprocessors with >50 MHz clock rates and short instruction-cycle watchdog strobes |
| Dual complementary reset outputs | RESET (push-pull, active-high) and RESET (open-drain, active-low) - enables direct interface to diverse MCU reset architectures |
| Integrated PB RESET debounce | On-chip 20 ms minimum hold-time requirement and <1 ms glitch rejection - removes need for external RC filter or Schmitt trigger |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controllers | Automotive Body Control Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1232CSA+ | Same pinout, identical STROBE timeout options, but higher quiescent current (100 μA vs. 50 μA max) and no 20 ns pulse spec confirmed | Valid for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 50 μA savings is non-critical and MAXIM's long-term availability is preferred | Select when sourcing from Maxim Integrated distributors and board layout reuse is mandatory |
| DS1232L+T&R | Identical functional block diagram and pinout; specifies 25 ns minimum STROBE pulse (vs. 20 ns for ADM1232AARNZ-REEL); 10% tolerance only | Suitable for legacy designs already using DS1232L and requiring minimal validation effort | Choose when migrating from DS1232L and 5% tolerance is not required |
Compared with MAX1232CSA+ and DS1232L+T&R, ADM1232AARNZ-REEL delivers tighter STROBE pulse detection (20 ns), lower supply current (20 μA typ.), and selectable 5%/10% trip tolerance - making it optimal for new designs prioritizing power efficiency, high-speed MCU compatibility, and flexible voltage margining.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage for ADM1232AARNZ-REEL when TOLERANCE is grounded?
When the TOLERANCE pin is connected to GND, ADM1232AARNZ-REEL asserts reset at a nominal VCC trip voltage of 4.62 V (5% tolerance), with a guaranteed range of 4.50 V to 4.74 V over temperature. This value is specified in Table 1 of the Rev. A datasheet and applies directly to ADM1232AARNZ-REEL under −40°C to +85°C conditions.
Can ADM1232AARNZ-REEL be used with a 3.3 V microprocessor system?
No - ADM1232AARNZ-REEL is designed exclusively for +5 V supply monitoring and requires VCC between 4.5 V and 5.5 V. Its internal reference, STROBE input thresholds, and reset output drive levels are optimized for 5 V logic. For 3.3 V systems, Analog Devices offers the ADM1233 or ADM1234 families, which are not pin-compatible with ADM1232AARNZ-REEL.
How does the TD pin configure the STROBE timeout period in ADM1232AARNZ-REEL?
The TD pin selects one of three STROBE timeout periods: 0 V sets 150 ms (typ.), floating sets 600 ms (typ.), and VCC sets 1200 ms (typ.). These values are confirmed in Table 4 and Figure 6 of the ADM1232AARNZ-REEL datasheet. No external components are needed - the selection is purely voltage-state dependent.
Is ADM1232AARNZ-REEL pin-compatible with the MAX1232 and DS1232LP?
Yes - ADM1232AARNZ-REEL is explicitly stated in the General Description to be pin-compatible with MAX1232 and DS1232LP. All share identical 8-pin SOIC_N pinout, function mapping (PB RESET, TD, TOLERANCE, GND, RESET, RESET, STROBE, VCC), and electrical interface behavior, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts.
What is the maximum sink current capability of the RESET output in ADM1232AARNZ-REEL?
The RESET output of ADM1232AARNZ-REEL is an open-drain MOSFET rated to sink up to −12 mA (minimum −8 mA) when VCC is between 4.5 V and 5.5 V, as specified in the "OUTPUT CURRENT" row of Table 1. This allows direct interfacing with 5 V logic inputs requiring active-low reset assertion without additional buffering.
