Product details
Overview
ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a microprocessor supervisory circuit integrating power-on reset, battery backup switchover, watchdog timer, chip enable gating, and power-fail detection. It features a 4.65 V ±3% reset threshold, 200 ms or adjustable reset timeout, 1.6 s/100 ms selectable watchdog timeout, 0.75 Ω VCC-to-VOUT on-resistance, and operates with VCC as low as 1 V. It is used in industrial controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and RAM write protection.
For engineers reviewing the ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 pinout, ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 application, or ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset voltage accuracy (±3%), battery switchover hysteresis (60 mV), CEOUT propagation delay (6–10 ns), PFI comparator threshold (1.25 V), and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 implements a dual-voltage switchover architecture using internal PMOS (VCC→VOUT) and NMOS (VBATT→VOUT) switches, enabling seamless transition between main supply and backup battery at VCC as low as 1 V. Its reset generator uses an internal oscillator with fixed 200 ms timeout or external capacitor/clock adjustment.
Watchdog functionality relies on WDI transition detection with configurable long (1.6 s) or short (100 ms) timeout periods; the first timeout after reset defaults to 1.6 s to accommodate processor initialization. The PFI comparator compares input voltage against a precision 1.25 V reference, driving PFO low within 25–60 µs of threshold crossing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65 V ±3% - ensures reliable reset assertion for +5 V supplies with –5%/+10% tolerance. |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms typ (adjustable) - holds µP in reset long enough for power and clock stabilization. |
| VCC-to-VOUT RON | 0.75 Ω typ - limits dropout to ≤188 mV at 250 mA, supporting high-current RAM backup. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s (long) or 100 ms (short) - configurable via OSC SEL/OSC IN for flexible software supervision. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V - enables early power-fail warning by sensing auxiliary rails or unregulated inputs. |
| Battery Standby Current | 0.04 µA typ - extends backup battery life for multi-year CMOS RAM retention. |
| CEOUT Propagation Delay | 6–10 ns - ensures precise timing alignment between CEIN and CEOUT for synchronous memory access. |
Pinout & Package
ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP (RU-16) package, 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm, lead pitch 0.65 mm, moisture sensitivity level 1. Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices datasheet Rev. 0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VBATT | Backup battery input | Connects to Li-ion or supercapacitor; enables automatic switchover when VCC drops below reset threshold. |
| 2 VOUT | Switched output rail | Delivers VCC or VBATT to RAM; supports 250 mA from VCC or 10 mA from VBATT with <0.3 V dropout. |
| 3 VCC | Main +5 V supply input | Power source for internal logic; monitored for reset generation down to 1 V operation. |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog/digital circuits; required for accurate voltage threshold detection. |
| 5 BATT ON | Battery switchover status output | Active-high signal indicating VBATT is active on VOUT; drives external PNP base for >250 mA loads. |
| 6 LOW LINE | VCC undervoltage indicator | Asserts low immediately when VCC falls below 4.65 V; used for real-time brownout notification. |
| 7 OSC IN | Oscillator control input | Selects reset/watchdog timing: grounded = 100 ms WD, floating = 1.6 s WD, capacitor-driven = adjustable. |
| 8 OSC SEL | Oscillator mode select | High/floating = internal oscillator; low = external clock or capacitor timing source. |
| 9 PFI | Power fail input | Non-inverting comparator input referenced to 1.25 V; accepts divided-down system rail for early warning. |
| 10 PFO | Power fail output | Open-drain output asserting low when PFI < 1.25 V; typically connected to µP NMI for data save interrupt. |
| 11 WDI | Watchdog input | Three-level input (low/mid/high); reset triggered if no transition occurs within timeout period. |
| 12 CEOUT | Gated chip enable output | Replicates CEIN when VCC is valid; forced high during reset to block RAM writes during power instability. |
| 13 CEIN | Chip enable input | Accepts µP CE/CS signal; gated internally to prevent memory corruption during brownouts. |
| 14 WDO | Watchdog status output | Active-low open-drain output signaling WD timeout; resets high on next WDI transition. |
| 15 RESET | Active-low reset output | Drives µP reset pin; guaranteed low until 200 ms after VCC exceeds 4.65 V. |
| 16 RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary open-drain output; provides active-high reset for processors requiring inverted logic. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable reset & watchdog timing | Supports fixed 200 ms/1.6 s or user-defined periods via external capacitor (COSC) or clock, enabling design flexibility across applications. |
| Low-power battery backup mode | Draws only 0.04 µA from VBATT when VCC is absent, extending 3 V coin-cell life to >10 years for CMOS RAM retention. |
| Integrated CE gating logic | Forces CEOUT high during reset or brownout, preventing erroneous writes to battery-backed RAM without external logic. |
| 1.25 V precision PFI comparator | Enables early power-fail detection with 25 µs response time, allowing µP to execute safe shutdown before VCC collapse. |
| VCC-operational down to 1 V | Maintains functional reset assertion and battery switchover even as main supply decays to 1 V, ensuring robust shutdown sequencing. |

FAQ
What is the reset voltage threshold accuracy of the ADM691AARNZ-REEL7?
The ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 has a guaranteed reset voltage threshold of 4.65 V with ±3% tolerance over temperature and supply variations. This corresponds to a minimum of 4.50 V and maximum of 4.75 V, making it compatible with +5 V supplies having –5%/+10% regulation tolerance. The specification is validated per Analog Devices datasheet Rev. 0, Table I and page 2 specifications.
Does the ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 support adjustable watchdog timeout periods?
Yes, the ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 supports adjustable watchdog timeout periods via the OSC SEL and OSC IN pins. With OSC SEL grounded, connecting a capacitor (COSC) from OSC IN to GND sets the timeout to Twd = 600 × (C/47 pF) ms. An external clock applied to OSC IN yields Twd = 1024 × (1/fCLK) seconds. These configurations are detailed in Table II and Figure 18c/d of the ADM691A datasheet.
How does the ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 handle battery switchover during power failure?
The ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 automatically switches VOUT from VCC to VBATT when VCC drops below VBATT − 0.03 V (power-up) or VBATT + 0.03 V (power-down), with 60 mV hysteresis. In battery mode, VOUT is sourced through a 7 Ω switch with dropout <0.15 V at 5 mA, and supply current drops to 0.04 µA. This behavior is confirmed in the "Battery Backup Switching" section (page 2) and Table III of the datasheet.
Can the ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 drive external transistors for higher VOUT current?
Yes, the ADM691AARNZ-REEL7's BATT ON output is designed to drive the base of an external PNP transistor for loads exceeding 250 mA. When VBATT powers VOUT, BATT ON goes high, enabling base current flow through an external resistor. Figure 21 in the datasheet shows this configuration, and the BATT ON sink capability (60 mA short-circuit) supports robust transistor turn-on under worst-case conditions.
What is the function of the dual RESET outputs on the ADM691AARNZ-REEL7?
The ADM691AARNZ-REEL7 provides two complementary reset outputs: pin 15 (RESET) is active-low open-drain, and pin 16 (RESET) is active-high open-drain. This allows direct interface with microprocessors requiring either polarity without external inverters. Both outputs are synchronized and share the same 200 ms timeout; pin 16 is explicitly described as "the inverse of RESET" on page 5 of the datasheet.
