Product details
Overview
ADM1232ARW-REEL from Analog Devices is a 5 V microprocessor supervisory circuit in a 16-lead SOIC_W (RW-16) package, featuring adjustable voltage monitoring (4.5 V or 4.75 V trip), programmable strobe timeout (150 ms / 600 ms / 1.2 s), push-button reset with 20 ms debounce, open-drain RESET and active-high RESET outputs, and operation from −40°C to +85°C. It monitors supply voltage, detects microprocessor lockup via STROBE activity, and supports manual reset in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADM1232ARW-REEL datasheet, ADM1232ARW-REEL pinout, ADM1232ARW-REEL application, or ADM1232ARW-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include VCC trip point tolerance selection (5% or 10%), TD-configurable watchdog timeout, dual-reset output topology, and compatibility with MAX1232/DS1232 designs requiring robust power-on reset and brownout protection.
Technical Context
The ADM1232ARW-REEL integrates a precision voltage monitor, a debounced PB RESET input, and a configurable watchdog timer driven by the STROBE signal and TD pin state. Its reset generation logic responds to VCC falling below the selected trip threshold (4.5 V or 4.75 V), sustained absence of STROBE transitions, or assertion of PB RESET for ≥20 ms.
It provides two complementary reset outputs: RESET (active-high, push-pull capable of sourcing/sinking 8–12 mA) and RESET (open-drain, requires external pull-up). The TOLERANCE pin selects between 5% (GND) and 10% (VCC) supply tolerance, directly setting the VCC trip point without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Trip Point | 4.5 V (10% tolerance, TOLERANCE = VCC) or 4.75 V (5% tolerance, TOLERANCE = GND) - sets precise brownout detection threshold |
| Strobe Timeout | 150 ms (TD = 0 V), 600 ms (TD = floating), or 1.2 s (TD = VCC) - configures watchdog window for microprocessor activity monitoring |
| Reset Active Time | 250–1000 ms - ensures reliable processor initialization after power-up or fault recovery |
| Supply Current | 20–50 μA (CMOS levels) - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or portable systems |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and automotive-grade system deployment |
| RESET Output Drive | 8–10 mA source / −8 to −12 mA sink - drives standard logic loads without buffering |
| RESET Output Type | Open-drain MOSFET - allows wired-OR configuration and level translation with external pull-up |
Pinout & Package
The ADM1232ARW-REEL is housed in a 16-lead SOIC_W (RW-16) package per JEDEC MS-013-AA, with 0.050" pitch, 7.6 mm body width, and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; pins are numbered counterclockwise from top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 16 | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout best practice - no electrical function |
| 2 | PB RESET Input | Debounced active-low manual reset input; guarantees reset assertion only if held low ≥20 ms |
| 4 | TD (Time Delay Set) | Selects strobe timeout period: 0 V → 150 ms, floating → 600 ms, VCC → 1.2 s |
| 6 | TOLERANCE Input | Selects VCC trip point: GND → 4.75 V (5%), VCC → 4.5 V (10%) |
| 8 | GND | 0 V reference for all analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection |
| 9 | RESET Output | Active-high push-pull output; sources/sinks up to 10 mA; asserts during power-up, brownout, or watchdog timeout |
| 11 | RESET Output | Active-low open-drain output; requires external pull-up; complements RESET for mixed-logic interface |
| 13 | STROBE Input | Watchdog trigger input; reset asserted if no high-to-low transition occurs within TD-selected timeout window |
| 15 | VCC | 5 V power supply input; powers internal comparators, timers, and output drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-compatible supervision | Direct replacement for MAX1232 and DS1232LP in existing layouts - same RW-16 pinout and function mapping |
| Adjustable voltage monitor | Two factory-trimmed trip points (4.5 V or 4.75 V) selected by single TOLERANCE pin - eliminates external resistor dividers |
| Configurable watchdog timeout | Three discrete timeout options (150/600/1200 ms) set by TD pin voltage - no external capacitor required |
| Debounced manual reset | Internal 20 ms debounce on PB RESET - prevents false resets from mechanical switch bounce or noise |
| Dual-reset output architecture | Simultaneous active-high push-pull RESET and active-low open-drain RESET - supports diverse host MCU interface requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1232CPD+ | Same 16-pin PDIP (N-8) footprint but different package; identical functional spec and pinout mapping for RW-16-compatible designs | Preferred where through-hole assembly or legacy N-8 layout reuse is required | Select when board rework is impractical and PDIP mounting is acceptable |
| DS1232LP-5+ | 5 V fixed trip point (no TOLERANCE-selectable 4.5 V/4.75 V); identical strobe timeout options and dual-reset outputs | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where only 4.75 V trip is needed and tolerance flexibility is unnecessary | Select when design uses only 5% tolerance and avoids BOM proliferation |
Compared with MAX1232CPD+ and DS1232LP-5+, the ADM1232ARW-REEL offers RW-16 surface-mount packaging for higher density, selectable trip voltage via TOLERANCE pin, and guaranteed −40°C to +85°C operation - making it optimal for new industrial and automotive PCB designs requiring flexibility and reliability.

FAQ
What is the exact VCC trip voltage for ADM1232ARW-REEL when TOLERANCE is tied to GND?
When TOLERANCE is connected to GND, the ADM1232ARW-REEL asserts reset when VCC falls below 4.75 V - corresponding to a 5% tolerance on a nominal 5 V supply. This value is factory-trimmed and specified as 4.62 V (typical) with min/max bounds of 4.5 V to 4.74 V across temperature.
Does ADM1232ARW-REEL require external components to configure its watchdog timeout?
No, ADM1232ARW-REEL does not require external components to configure its watchdog timeout. The strobe timeout period (150 ms, 600 ms, or 1.2 s) is selected solely by the voltage applied to the TD pin: 0 V, floating, or VCC respectively - eliminating capacitors or resistors.
Can ADM1232ARW-REEL drive a standard TTL input directly using its RESET output?
Yes, ADM1232ARW-REEL's RESET output can drive a standard TTL input directly: it sources up to 10 mA at VCC − 0.1 V (min), which meets TTL VIH requirements. For RESET (open-drain), an external pull-up resistor to the target logic rail is required to interface with TTL inputs.
Is ADM1232ARW-REEL RoHS compliant and what is its lead finish?
Yes, ADM1232ARW-REEL is RoHS compliant (Pb-free, halogen-free). Its RW-16 package features matte tin (Sn) lead finish per JEDEC J-STD-609, with peak reflow temperature rating of 260°C for lead-free soldering processes.
How does the PB RESET input on ADM1232ARW-REEL handle mechanical switch bounce?
The PB RESET input on ADM1232ARW-REEL includes an internal debounce circuit that ignores pulses shorter than 1 ms and guarantees reset assertion only when held low for ≥20 ms - effectively filtering typical mechanical switch bounce without external RC networks.
