Product details
Overview
ADM690AANZ from Analog Devices is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin microSOIC package, providing active-low reset assertion at 4.65 V ±150 mV, 200 ms reset timeout, 1.6 s watchdog timer, and automatic battery switchover with <1 Ω on-resistance. It ensures reliable power-up/down/brownout reset for +5 V systems and supports CMOS RAM backup in industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the ADM690AANZ datasheet, ADM690AANZ pinout, ADM690AANZ application, or ADM690AANZ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed reset operation down to 1 V VCC, ±2% PFI threshold accuracy (1.25 V), low 100 µA quiescent current, and compatibility with legacy MAX690A designs requiring space-constrained layouts.
Technical Context
The ADM690AANZ integrates four core functions: a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 4.65 V reset threshold, a transition-detecting watchdog timer with 1.6 s timeout and three-level WDI input, a battery switchover switch using PMOS topology with 20 mV hysteresis, and a dedicated 1.25 V reference-based power fail comparator with open-drain PFO output.
Its internal architecture guarantees RESET remains functional even as VCC decays to 1 V, supports bidirectional reset line interfacing via external current-limiting resistors, and enables noise-immune PFI sensing through externally added hysteresis resistors-without requiring external components for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65 V ±150 mV - Ensures deterministic reset initiation during +5 V supply brownout before microprocessor instability. |
| Reset Timeout Delay | 200 ms - Provides sufficient stabilization time for power supply and CPU after power-up before releasing reset. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s - Detects firmware lockup by requiring periodic WDI transitions; restarts on each high/low edge. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - Guarantees RESET assertion integrity down to near-dead-battery conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA - Minimizes standby power draw in always-on embedded systems with battery backup. |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 40 mV - Prevents oscillation during VCC/VBATT crossover transitions during power recovery. |
| PFI Threshold Accuracy | ±2% (1.25 V) - Enables precise early-warning power-fail detection with minimal external component tolerance dependence. |
Pinout & Package
ADM690AANZ is housed in an 8-lead microSOIC (RM-8) package measuring 3.10 mm × 3.05 mm × 0.95 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts while maintaining SOIC-compatible footprint geometry and thermal performance (θJA = 110°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main power supply input | +5 V nominal supply; powers internal circuitry and sources VOUT during normal operation. |
| VBATT | Backup battery input | Provides seamless switchover to backup source when VCC drops below reset threshold and VBATT > VCC + 20 mV. |
| VOUT | Switched output rail | Delivers either VCC or VBATT (whichever is higher and valid) to RAM or low-power peripherals; supports up to 100 mA load. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; required for accurate threshold referencing. |
| PFI | Power fail comparator input | Non-inverting input of 1.25 V referenced comparator; used with external resistor divider to detect falling input supply. |
| PFO | Power fail comparator output | Open-drain output asserting low when PFI < 1.25 V; drives NMI or interrupt lines directly. |
| RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull output asserting low during power failure, brownout, or watchdog timeout; sinks 3.2 mA minimum. |
| WDI | Watchdog timer input | Three-level input (high/low/floating); toggling resets 1.6 s timer; floating disables watchdog function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed Reset Below 1 V VCC | Enables fail-safe shutdown sequencing in ultra-low-voltage brownout scenarios without external supervision. |
| Integrated 1.25 V Precision Reference | Eliminates need for external reference IC when implementing PFI-based power-fail warning or secondary supply monitoring. |
| Automatic Battery Switchover with 20 mV Hysteresis | Prevents chattering during VCC recovery; supports lithium, coin-cell, or supercapacitor backup sources without external MOSFETs. |
| Watchdog Input with Transition Detection | Detects both stuck-high and stuck-low software faults-not just missing pulses-enhancing reliability in safety-critical firmware. |
| MicroSOIC (RM-8) Package | Reduces board area by ~50% vs. standard SOIC-8 while retaining compatible solder profile and thermal dissipation. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX690AESA+ | Pin-compatible but uses older BiCMOS process; higher 120 µA quiescent current; no guaranteed operation below 2.7 V VCC. | Lacks 1 V reset guarantee and tighter PFI accuracy; unsuitable for ultra-low-VCC brownout resilience. | Select only if legacy MAX690A footprint reuse is mandatory and 1 V operation is not required. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-function reset IC with 3.3 V threshold; no battery switchover, watchdog, or PFI/PFO functions; SOT-23-6 package. | Requires external components to replicate ADM690AANZ's integrated functionality; increases BOM count and layout complexity. | Choose only when supervisory requirements are limited to basic 3.3 V reset generation with minimal footprint. |
Compared with MAX690AESA+, ADM690AANZ delivers lower power, wider VCC range, and superior PFI accuracy; versus TPS3808G33DBVR, it provides full integration of reset, watchdog, battery switchover, and power-fail detection in one microSOIC device-reducing system-level component count by ≥4.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum operating voltage for ADM690AANZ reset assertion?
The ADM690AANZ guarantees RESET assertion down to 1.0 V VCC, ensuring fail-safe microprocessor hold condition even during deep brownout events. This specification is validated across the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and is independent of VBATT presence. The ADM690AANZ maintains this capability due to its proprietary low-voltage bandgap reference and rail-to-rail output stage design.
Does ADM690AANZ support active-high reset output?
No, ADM690AANZ provides only active-low RESET output. The active-high variant is implemented in the ADM805L/M family members (e.g., ADM805LAN), not in the ADM690A series. Attempting to invert ADM690AANZ's RESET output externally requires careful attention to timing margins and drive strength, as the push-pull output is rated for 3.2 mA sink but only 800 µA source current at VCC – 1.5 V.
How does the ADM690AANZ watchdog timer respond to WDI signal states?
The ADM690AANZ watchdog timer triggers RESET if WDI remains static (high or low) for longer than 1.6 seconds. Each rising or falling edge on WDI resets the timeout counter. If WDI is left floating or driven by a high-impedance tri-state buffer, the watchdog is automatically disabled-no external pull-up/down resistors are needed for disablement.
What is the maximum load current ADM690AANZ can deliver through VOUT in battery backup mode?
In battery backup mode (VCC < VBATT – 0.2 V), ADM690AANZ delivers up to 250 µA through VOUT with a dropout voltage of ≤5 mV, verified at VBATT = 2.8 V. This current level is sufficient for CMOS RAM retention but not for active logic; external buffering or capacitive hold-up is required for higher peak loads.
Can ADM690AANZ be used with lithium coin-cell batteries without risk of overcharging?
Yes, ADM690AANZ is safe for direct connection to lithium coin cells because its VBATT terminal sources only ≤0.1 µA charging current-well below the 1 µA self-discharge compensation threshold of CR2032 and similar cells. This eliminates need for blocking diodes or charge-limiting resistors in typical backup configurations.
