Product details
Overview
ADM691AARU-REEL from Analog Devices is a microprocessor supervisory circuit integrating power-on reset, battery backup switchover, watchdog timer, chip enable gating, and power-fail detection in a single 16-pin TSSOP package. It provides 4.65 V ±3% reset threshold, 200 ms or adjustable reset timeout, 1.6 s/100 ms selectable watchdog timeout, automatic VCC/VBATT switching to VOUT (250 mA max), and 1.25 V PFI comparator. It is used in industrial controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and RAM write protection.
For engineers reviewing the ADM691AARU-REEL datasheet, ADM691AARU-REEL pinout, ADM691AARU-REEL application, or ADM691AARU-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include reset voltage accuracy (±3%), battery switchover hysteresis (60 mV), CEOUT propagation delay (10 ns typ), WDI input threshold compatibility (0.75×VCC), and TSSOP-16 thermal performance (θJA = 158°C/W).
Technical Context
The ADM691AARU-REEL implements a dual-path power management architecture: a precision bandgap-based 4.65 V reset detector with 15 mV hysteresis and an independent 1.25 V PFI comparator for early power-fail warning. Its internal oscillator supports fixed (200 ms / 1.6 s) or capacitor-adjustable timing via OSC IN/OSC SEL pins.
It features bidirectional battery switchover using PMOS (VCC→VOUT, RON ≈ 0.75 Ω) and NMOS (VBATT→VOUT, RON ≈ 7 Ω) switches, with BATT ON output enabling external PNP transistor drive. CEIN-to-CEOUT gating operates with 6–10 ns propagation delay and 40–150 Ω on-resistance, ensuring robust RAM write protection during brownouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65 V ±3% - ensures reliable reset assertion for +5 V ±5% supplies without false triggering. |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms typ (adjustable) - holds µP in reset long enough for power and clock stabilization post-power-up. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s long / 100 ms short period - configurable via OSC SEL/OSC IN to match firmware execution cycles. |
| VCC→VOUT Resistance | 0.8–1.2 Ω at 25 mA - enables low-dropout supply to CMOS RAM with <50 mV dropout at rated load. |
| Battery Standby Current | 0.04–1 µA - extends backup battery life for multi-year memory retention in low-power systems. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V ±25 mV - allows precise early-warning detection of falling VCC via external resistor divider. |
| CEIN Leakage | ±0.005 µA - prevents unintended CEOUT activation in high-impedance microcontroller interface designs. |
Pinout & Package
ADM691AARU-REEL is housed in a 16-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP, RU-16), 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 marked by dot; pin numbering counterclockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VBATT) | Backup battery input | Connects to Li-ion, supercapacitor, or NiMH; enables seamless switchover when VCC drops below reset threshold. |
| 2 (VOUT) | Switched output rail | Delivers VCC or VBATT (whichever is higher and valid) to RAM; supports 250 mA continuous load. |
| 5 (BATT ON) | Battery status indicator & base driver | Drives external PNP transistor base to boost VOUT current beyond 250 mA; logic-high when VBATT powers VOUT. |
| 7 (OSC IN) | Oscillator timing input | Accepts external clock (≤250 kHz) or capacitor (47 pF typical) to adjust reset/watchdog timeouts per Table II. |
| 9 (PFI) | Power fail sense input | Non-inverting input to 1.25 V comparator; monitors divided-down VCC for early shutdown warning before reset triggers. |
| 11 (WDI) | Watchdog input | Three-level input (low/mid/high); resets watchdog on each transition; floating disables watchdog function. |
| 12 (CEOUT) | Gated chip enable output | Replicates CEIN when VCC > reset threshold; forced high during brownout to block RAM writes. |
| 15/16 (RESET/RESET) | Complementary reset outputs | Active-low open-drain RESET and active-high totem-pole RESET support diverse µP reset polarity requirements. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-power battery backup mode | 0.04 µA typical supply current enables >10-year coin-cell operation in always-on memory backup. |
| Adjustable watchdog timeout | Configurable from 100 ms to 2.4 s via external capacitor or clock - matches real-time firmware loop timing. |
| Integrated CE gating | 5 ns propagation delay and 40 Ω on-resistance ensure deterministic RAM write blocking during power transients. |
| 1.25 V precision PFI reference | ±25 mV tolerance over temperature enables accurate power-fail prediction with minimal external components. |
| TSSOP-16 thermal performance | 158°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance supports operation up to +85°C ambient in dense PCB layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX691ACPE+ | Same pinout, 4.65 V reset threshold, but higher 10 µA quiescent current and no TSSOP option. | Lacks integrated CE gating and has slower 25 µs PFI→PFO delay vs. 25–60 µs for ADM691AARU-REEL. | Select MAX691ACPE+ only if DIP-16 packaging is required and CE gating is implemented externally. |
| TPS3823MPW | Lower 1.5 µA supply current, but fixed 200 ms reset timeout and no battery switchover or watchdog functions. | Supports only basic reset supervision; cannot replace ADM691AARU-REEL in battery-backed RAM or watchdog-dependent systems. | Choose TPS3823MPW only for cost-sensitive, non-backup applications where watchdog and CE gating are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX691ACPE+, ADM691AARU-REEL delivers 99.996% lower battery standby current and integrated CE gating; versus TPS3823MPW, it adds full battery switchover, adjustable watchdog, and PFI-based predictive power fail detection - essential for mission-critical embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the reset voltage threshold accuracy of the ADM691AARU-REEL?
The ADM691AARU-REEL features a guaranteed reset voltage threshold of 4.65 V with ±3% tolerance over temperature and supply variations. This corresponds to a min/max range of 4.50 V to 4.75 V at +25°C, ensuring compatibility with +5 V ±5% power supplies while preventing spurious resets during nominal operation.
Can the ADM691AARU-REEL support external watchdog timeout adjustment?
Yes, the ADM691AARU-REEL supports external watchdog timeout adjustment via the OSC IN and OSC SEL pins. With OSC SEL grounded, connecting a capacitor (e.g., 47 pF) between OSC IN and GND sets the watchdog timeout to 1.6 s × (C/47 pF), while an external clock input yields Twd = 1024 × (1/fCLK). The ADM691AARU-REEL datasheet Table II details all configuration modes.
How does the ADM691AARU-REEL handle battery switchover during power failure?
The ADM691AARU-REEL automatically switches VOUT from VCC to VBATT when VCC falls below both the reset threshold and VBATT by >60 mV hysteresis. In battery backup mode, VOUT is sourced from VBATT through a 7 Ω NMOS switch, delivering up to 10 mA at 2.0 V input with <150 mV dropout, while drawing only 0.04 µA standby current from the battery.
What is the purpose of the complementary RESET and RESET outputs on the ADM691AARU-REEL?
The ADM691AARU-REEL provides both active-low open-drain RESET and active-high totem-pole RESET outputs to accommodate microprocessors with differing reset polarity requirements. RESET drives low during power faults; RESET mirrors its inverse state and can directly interface with µPs needing active-high reset assertion without external inverters.
Does the ADM691AARU-REEL support chip enable (CE) gating for RAM write protection?
Yes, the ADM691AARU-REEL integrates dedicated CEIN and CEOUT pins that implement hardware-enforced RAM write protection. When VCC remains above the reset threshold, CEOUT replicates CEIN with 6–10 ns delay; when VCC drops below threshold, CEOUT is forced high regardless of CEIN state - preventing erroneous writes during brownouts or power-up sequences.
