Product details
Overview
ADM690AARNZ from Analog Devices is a precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-lead microSOIC package, providing active-low reset assertion at 4.65 V nominal threshold, 200 ms reset timeout, 1.6 s watchdog timer, and automatic battery switchover for CMOS RAM backup. It operates with VCC as low as 1 V and supports power-fail detection via 1.25 V PFI comparator.
For engineers reviewing the ADM690AARNZ datasheet, ADM690AARNZ pinout, ADM690AARNZ application, or ADM690AARNZ equivalent, key selection criteria include reset voltage accuracy (±150 mV), battery switchover hysteresis (40 mV), quiescent current (100 µA), and compatibility with 5 V systems requiring guaranteed reset hold-down during brownout.
Technical Context
The ADM690AARNZ integrates four core functions on a single die: a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor triggering RESET at 4.65 V ±150 mV, a monostable watchdog timer with 1.6 s timeout resettable by WDI transitions, a PMOS-based battery switchover switch with 20 mV switchover threshold and 40 mV hysteresis, and a dedicated 1.25 V reference comparator for external power-fail sensing via PFI/PFO.
Its internal architecture uses an epitaxial CMOS process enabling operation down to 1 V VCC while maintaining RESET assertion, and features a low-leakage VBATT path (0.05 µA standby) optimized for lithium or capacitor-based backup sources. The RESET output drives up to 3.2 mA sink current with rail-to-rail logic levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65 V ±150 mV - ensures reliable reset activation across 4.75–5.5 V supply range with guaranteed hold-down below 1 V VCC. |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms ±60 ms - provides sufficient stabilization time for 5 V microprocessors after power-up or brownout recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s ±650 ms - detects software lockup in embedded firmware without requiring external timing components. |
| Supply Current | 100 µA typical - enables long-term battery-backed operation with minimal drain on 3 V coin cells or supercapacitors. |
| Battery Switchover | 20 mV threshold, 40 mV hysteresis - prevents oscillation during VCC/VBATT crossover and ensures clean transition to backup power. |
| PFI Comparator Ref | 1.25 V ±25 mV - allows accurate power-fail warning for +5 V rails using standard resistor dividers (e.g., R1=100 kΩ, R2=100 kΩ → VT = 2.5 V). |
| Output Drive | 3.2 mA sink / 800 µA source - directly interfaces with TTL/CMOS inputs without external buffering in most 5 V systems. |
Pinout & Package
ADM690AARNZ is housed in an 8-lead microSOIC (RM-8) package measuring 3.10 mm × 3.05 mm × 0.80 mm, optimized for space-constrained industrial and embedded PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC | Main power input | Accepts 4.75–5.5 V nominal supply; powers internal circuitry and feeds VOUT via internal PMOS switch during normal operation. |
| VBATT | Backup battery input | Connects to 2.8–6 V backup source; automatically switches to VOUT when VCC drops below reset threshold and VBATT exceeds VCC by >20 mV. |
| VOUT | Switched output | Delivers regulated VCC or VBATT to CMOS RAM; supports up to 100 mA load with <1 Ω on-resistance in normal mode. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into reset threshold detection. |
| PFI | Power-fail input | Non-inverting input of 1.25 V comparator; used with external resistor divider to trigger PFO before main supply collapse. |
| PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low open-drain output signaling impending supply failure; sinks up to 3.2 mA to drive NMI or interrupt lines. |
| RESET | Reset output | Active-low push-pull output asserting for ≥200 ms after VCC rises above threshold or WDI timeout; holds low down to 1 V VCC. |
| WDI | Watchdog input | Three-level input (high/low/floating); resets 1.6 s timer on each transition; floating disables watchdog function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 4.65 V reset threshold | Guaranteed 4.5–4.75 V range over –40°C to +85°C enables robust 5 V system reset without external trimming. |
| 1 V minimum VCC operation | Ensures continuous RESET assertion during deep brownout, preventing microprocessor corruption even as supply decays. |
| Integrated battery switchover | Eliminates need for external diodes or MOSFETs; reduces BOM count and PCB area while improving reliability over discrete solutions. |
| 1.25 V precision reference | Enables accurate power-fail detection for any supply rail via simple resistor network-no external reference IC required. |
| Watchdog timer with transition detection | Detects both stuck-high and stuck-low conditions on WDI line, unlike edge-only watchdogs that miss static faults. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX690A | Pin-compatible but higher 120 µA quiescent current; 4.65 V reset threshold tolerance ±200 mV vs. ±150 mV. | Lacks guaranteed 1 V VCC operation; reset hold-down degrades below 1.2 V. | Choose MAX690A only if legacy design reuse is required and ultra-low-power backup is not critical. |
| TPS3823-46 | 4.63 V reset threshold, 200 ms timeout, but no integrated battery switchover or watchdog timer. | Requires external PMOS and RC network for backup switching; no WDI functionality. | Select TPS3823-46 when only voltage monitoring is needed and board space permits discrete backup circuitry. |
Compared with MAX690A and TPS3823-46, the ADM690AARNZ delivers integrated battery switchover and watchdog functionality in the same microSOIC footprint, reducing total solution size by 35% and eliminating three external components required by the alternatives.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the ADM690AARNZ?
The ADM690AARNZ is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C, with all specifications-including reset threshold accuracy, watchdog timeout, and battery switchover hysteresis-guaranteed across this full range. This makes ADM690AARNZ suitable for deployment in uncontrolled environments such as factory floors, outdoor kiosks, and vehicle-mounted electronics where ambient temperatures fluctuate widely.
Can the ADM690AARNZ be used with a 3.3 V microprocessor system?
No-the ADM690AARNZ is specified only for 4.75–5.5 V VCC operation and has a fixed 4.65 V reset threshold. Using it with a 3.3 V system would cause immediate, permanent reset assertion. For 3.3 V systems, Analog Devices offers the ADM692A (4.4 V threshold) or newer alternatives like the ADM1185, but ADM690AARNZ itself is incompatible with sub-4.75 V supplies.
How does the ADM690AARNZ handle battery replacement without causing spurious resets?
The ADM690AARNZ prevents spurious resets during battery replacement by isolating VBATT leakage paths: its internal design ensures no current flows from VBATT into other pins when VCC is present and above threshold. As long as VCC remains >4.65 V, floating VBATT during swap causes no reset assertion-unlike older supervisors where VBATT leakage could pull down internal nodes and trigger false resets.
What is the maximum load current supported by the VOUT pin of the ADM690AARNZ?
The VOUT pin of the ADM690AARNZ supports up to 100 mA in normal operation (VCC-connected mode) with <1 Ω typical on-resistance, and up to 250 µA in battery backup mode (VBATT-connected mode) with dropout <5 mV. For loads exceeding 100 mA, an external bypass capacitor (≥0.1 µF) is required at VOUT to supply transient peaks without violating voltage regulation.
Is the ADM690AARNZ RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes-the ADM690AARNZ is RoHS compliant and features lead-free (Pb-free) terminations per Analog Devices' packaging standards. The microSOIC (RM-8) package uses matte tin plating over copper leadframe, with JEDEC-standard reflow profiles supporting lead-free assembly. Full compliance documentation, including substance declarations and test reports, is available through Analog Devices' quality portal.
