Product details
Overview
ADM691AARWZ-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. It features a 4.65 V ±3% reset threshold, 200 ms fixed or adjustable reset timeout, 1.6 s/100 ms selectable watchdog timeout, and supports VCC down to 1 V operation. It is used in industrial controllers and automotive ECUs requiring reliable brownout protection and nonvolatile memory retention.
For engineers reviewing the ADM691AARWZ-REEL datasheet, ADM691AARWZ-REEL pinout, ADM691AARWZ-REEL application, or ADM691AARWZ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-supply switchover capability (VCC/VBATT), open-drain RESET and complementary active-high RESET outputs, integrated CEIN/CEOUT write-protection logic, and 1.25 V PFI comparator for early power-fail warning.
Technical Context
The ADM691AARWZ-REEL implements a precision voltage detector with 15 mV hysteresis and internal oscillator-based timing for both reset generation and watchdog timeout. Its battery switchover uses PMOS (VCC→VOUT, RON = 0.75 Ω typ) and NMOS (VBATT→VOUT, RON = 7 Ω typ) switches, enabling seamless transition between main supply and backup source while maintaining VOUT regulation down to VBATT = 2.0 V.
It integrates three independent functional blocks: (1) a reset generator with 80 µs VCC-to-RESET delay and 200 ms timeout; (2) a transition-sensitive watchdog with WDI input capable of disabling via floating; and (3) a CMOS RAM write-protection gate where CEOUT follows CEIN only when VCC > 4.65 V, otherwise forcing CEOUT high to prevent corruption.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65 V ±3% - ensures compatibility with +5 V ±5% supplies and prevents false resets during nominal ripple. |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms typ - holds µP in reset long enough for power supply and clock stabilization after power-up. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s (long) or 100 ms (short) - configurable via OSC SEL/OSC IN to match software execution cycles. |
| VCC-to-VOUT RON | 0.75 Ω typ - enables 250 mA continuous output with <188 mV dropout at full load, minimizing heat dissipation. |
| Battery Standby Current | 0.04 µA typ - extends backup battery life for multi-year CMOS RAM retention without periodic recharge. |
| PFI Comparator Threshold | 1.25 V - allows precise early-warning detection of 5 V rail collapse using external resistor divider. |
| Operating Voltage Range | VCC = 4.75–5.5 V; VBATT = 2.0–5.5 V - supports wide-input backup sources including Li-ion, supercaps, and NiMH cells. |
Pinout & Package
ADM691AARWZ-REEL is housed in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC (R-16W) package with 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VBATT | Backup battery input | Connects to external battery/capacitor; enables automatic switchover when VCC drops below reset threshold. |
| 2 VOUT | Switched output | Delivers either VCC or VBATT depending on switchover logic; powers CMOS RAM or low-power logic. |
| 3 VCC | Main supply input | +5 V system rail; powers internal circuitry and enables CEOUT pass-through mode. |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog/digital functions; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 5 BATT ON | Battery status indicator | Open-drain logic output signaling VBATT is active; can drive external PNP base for higher-current backup. |
| 6 LOW LINE | Power-fail flag | Active-low signal indicating VCC has fallen below reset threshold; used for immediate system response. |
| 7 OSC IN | Oscillator control input | Selects reset/watchdog timing via external capacitor or clock; floating = 1.6 s, grounded = 100 ms. |
| 8 OSC SEL | Oscillator mode select | High/floating = internal oscillator; low = external clock/capacitor mode; includes 10 µA internal pullup. |
| 9 PFI | Power fail input | Noninverting input to 1.25 V comparator; monitors auxiliary rail or divided VCC for early warning. |
| 10 PFO | Power fail output | Active-low interrupt output tied to µP NMI; triggers data save before main supply collapse. |
| 11 WDI | Watchdog input | Three-level input (low/mid/high); toggling resets watchdog timer; floating disables watchdog function. |
| 12 CEOUT | Chip enable output | Buffered CEIN replica when VCC valid; forced high during reset to block RAM writes. |
| 13 CEIN | Chip enable input | Accepts µP CE/CS signal; gated internally to prevent invalid memory access during brownout. |
| 14 WDO | Watchdog output | Active-low status flag indicating watchdog timeout; remains low until next WDI transition. |
| 15 RESET | Active-low reset | Open-drain output asserting µP reset line; guaranteed functional down to VCC = 1 V. |
| 16 RESET | Active-high reset | Complementary push-pull output for processors requiring active-high reset assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic battery backup switchover | Seamless transition between VCC and VBATT with <60 mV hysteresis, supporting 2.0–5.5 V backup sources. |
| Integrated RAM write protection | CEOUT forces high during reset/brownout, blocking µP write cycles to preserve data integrity in CMOS RAM. |
| Configurable watchdog timing | 100 ms or 1.6 s timeout selectable via pins-no external components required for basic operation. |
| Low-power battery monitoring | 0.04 µA standby current in backup mode enables >10-year coin-cell operation for critical memory retention. |
| Dual reset outputs | Open-drain RESET and push-pull RESET provide flexibility for legacy and modern µP interface requirements. |
| Early power-fail warning | 1.25 V PFI comparator with 25 µs response enables >10 ms advance notice before VCC collapse. |
Applications

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 120 µA standby current vs. ADM691AARWZ-REEL's 100 µA; no integrated CE gating. | Lacks CEIN/CEOUT write-protection logic-requires external gating for RAM safety. | Choose MAX691ACPE+ only if CE gating is unnecessary and legacy MAX compatibility is mandatory. |
| TPS3823-46DBVR | 4.63 V reset threshold, 200 ms timeout, but no battery switchover, watchdog, or PFI comparator-only reset supervisor. | Cannot replace ADM691AARWZ-REEL in battery-backed systems or watchdog-critical designs. | Select TPS3823-46DBVR only for cost-sensitive, single-function reset-only applications without backup or watchdog needs. |
Compared with MAX691ACPE+, ADM691AARWZ-REEL adds integrated CE gating and lower battery standby current; compared with TPS3823-46DBVR, it delivers full supervisory functionality-including switchover, watchdog, and PFI-enabling single-chip system-level power management.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for ADM691AARWZ-REEL?
The ADM691AARWZ-REEL has a guaranteed reset threshold of 4.65 V ±3%, with min/max values of 4.5 V and 4.75 V respectively. This ensures reliable reset assertion for +5 V systems operating within –5%/+10% tolerance, and the 15 mV hysteresis prevents chatter near the trip point. The threshold remains stable over –40°C to +85°C.
Does ADM691AARWZ-REEL support battery backup switching?
Yes, ADM691AARWZ-REEL provides automatic battery backup switching between VCC and VBATT inputs. When VCC drops below the reset threshold and VBATT > VCC, it connects VBATT to VOUT via a 7 Ω switch, sustaining CMOS RAM with <0.04 µA standby current. Switchover hysteresis is 60 mV to prevent oscillation.
How is the watchdog timeout configured on ADM691AARWZ-REEL?
The ADM691AARWZ-REEL watchdog timeout is selected using OSC SEL and OSC IN pins: with both floating, timeout is 1.6 s; with OSC IN grounded, it becomes 100 ms (except first timeout post-reset, which remains 1.6 s). External capacitors or clocks allow further adjustment per Table II in the datasheet.
Can ADM691AARWZ-REEL protect CMOS RAM during power failure?
Yes, ADM691AARWZ-REEL protects CMOS RAM using dual mechanisms: (1) CEOUT forces high when VCC falls below 4.65 V, blocking write operations; and (2) VOUT automatically switches to VBATT to maintain RAM supply. This ensures data integrity during brownouts, power-down, and momentary interruptions.
What package type is used for ADM691AARWZ-REEL?
ADM691AARWZ-REEL is supplied in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC (R-16W) package with 1.27 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant, and rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. It is distinct from the narrow SOIC (R-16N) and DIP (N-16) variants listed in the ordering guide.
