Product details
Overview
ADM691ARZ-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 fixed reset timeout (adjustable), 1.6 s/100 ms selectable watchdog timeout, and supports VCC down to 1 V operation. It is used in industrial controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and RAM write protection.
For engineers reviewing the ADM691ARZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADM691ARZ-REEL7 pinout, ADM691ARZ-REEL7 application, or ADM691ARZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset voltage accuracy, battery switchover hysteresis (60 mV), VCC-to-VOUT on-resistance (0.8–1.2 Ω), WDI input transition sensitivity, and compatibility with 5 V ±5% supplies.
Technical Context
The ADM691ARZ-REEL7 implements a dual-threshold voltage detector (4.65 V nominal with 15 mV hysteresis) and an internal oscillator-based timing engine for both reset generation and watchdog supervision. Its battery switchover uses PMOS (VCC→VOUT) and NMOS (VBATT→VOUT) switches with validated on-resistances of 0.8–1.2 Ω and 12–25 Ω respectively.
Chip enable gating provides 6–10 ns propagation delay between CEIN and CEOUT, with CEOUT forced high during reset assertion. The PFI comparator uses a precision 1.25 V reference and delivers 25 µs response to input transients, enabling early power-fail warning before VCC crosses the reset threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65 V ±3% - matches 5 V ±5% supply tolerance; ensures reset assertion before logic corruption. |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms typ - holds µP in reset long enough for power and clock stabilization after power-up. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s long / 100 ms short - configurable via OSC SEL/OSC IN; first timeout post-reset is always 1.6 s. |
| VCC-to-VOUT RON | 0.8–1.2 Ω - enables ≤250 mA continuous output with <60 mV dropout at 25 mA load. |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 60 mV - prevents oscillation during VCC/VBATT crossover near switchover point. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V ±25 mV - allows precise early-warning detection of main supply droop via external divider. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 70–100 µA - enables low-power operation in always-on supervisory roles. |
| Standby Current (Battery) | 0.04–1 µA - extends backup runtime for CMOS RAM during extended VCC loss. |
Pinout & Package
ADM691ARZ-REEL7 is packaged in a 16-lead narrow-body SOIC (R-16N), RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel format. Pin assignments are fully defined per Analog Devices' official pin descriptions and functional block diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VBATT | Backup battery input | Connects to 2.0–6 V backup source; enables automatic switchover when VCC drops below VBATT − 0.03 V. |
| 2 VOUT | Switched output rail | Delivers VCC or VBATT (whichever is higher and valid); powers RAM or low-power logic up to 250 mA. |
| 3 VCC | Main +5 V supply input | Operates from 4.75–5.5 V; supervisory functions remain active down to 1 V. |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog/digital circuits; required for accurate threshold detection. |
| 5 BATT ON | Battery status indicator | Open-drain output pulled high when VBATT powers VOUT; drives external PNP base for >250 mA loads. |
| 6 LOW LINE | VCC undervoltage flag | Active-low signal asserted when VCC falls below 4.65 V; used for system-level brownout alerts. |
| 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; triggers PFO when voltage drops below 1.25 V. |
| 10 PFO | Power fail output | Active-low interrupt signal for µP NMI; enables data save before full power loss. |
| 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 | Follows CEIN when VCC is valid; forced high during reset to prevent RAM writes during brownout. |
| 13 CEIN | Chip enable input | Directly controls CEOUT; tied to GND or VOUT if unused. |
| 14 WDO | Watchdog status output | Active-low flag indicating 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 rises above 4.65 V. |
| 16 RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary open-drain output; useful for processors requiring active-high reset assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable reset & watchdog timing | Supports external capacitor (COSC) or clock source for custom timeout periods - Treset = 1200×(C/47 pF), TWD = 600×(C/47 pF). |
| Low-dropout battery switchover | VCC→VOUT RON = 0.8 Ω typ; VBATT→VOUT RON = 12 Ω typ at 2.8 V - minimizes voltage loss during backup mode. |
| RAM write protection logic | CEOUT forced high during reset or low-VCC events - prevents corrupted writes to battery-backed CMOS RAM. |
| Early power-fail warning | 1.25 V PFI comparator with 25 µs response - enables µP to execute shutdown routines before VCC crosses 4.65 V. |
| Ultra-low battery standby current | 0.04 µA typ - extends multi-year backup life for SRAM in industrial logging or metering applications. |
| Wide VCC operating range | Functional down to VCC = 1 V - ensures controlled shutdown even during deep brownouts. |

FAQ
What is the reset voltage threshold of the ADM691ARZ-REEL7?
The ADM691ARZ-REEL7 has a nominal reset voltage threshold of 4.65 V with ±3% tolerance (4.50 V to 4.75 V). This threshold is guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and ensures compatibility with standard 5 V ±5% power supplies. The device asserts RESET low when VCC falls below this threshold and holds it low for 200 ms after VCC rises above it.
Can the ADM691ARZ-REEL7 support adjustable watchdog timeout periods?
Yes, the ADM691ARZ-REEL7 supports adjustable watchdog timeout periods via the OSC SEL and OSC IN pins. With OSC SEL grounded, connecting a capacitor (C) from OSC IN to GND sets the timeout to 600 × (C/47 pF) milliseconds. Alternatively, applying an external clock to OSC IN yields TWD = 1024 × (1/fCLK). The ADM691ARZ-REEL7 also supports fixed 100 ms and 1.6 s modes without external components.
How does the ADM691ARZ-REEL7 handle battery backup switchover?
The ADM691ARZ-REEL7 automatically switches VOUT between VCC and VBATT based on relative voltage and validity. When VCC > VBATT + 0.03 V and above reset threshold, VCC powers VOUT via a 0.8–1.2 Ω PMOS switch. When VCC drops below VBATT − 0.03 V, VBATT powers VOUT via a 12–25 Ω NMOS switch. Switchover hysteresis is 60 mV to prevent oscillation, and battery standby current is as low as 0.04 µA.
What is the function of the CEIN and CEOUT pins on the ADM691ARZ-REEL7?
The CEIN and CEOUT pins implement chip-enable gating for RAM write protection. CEOUT is a buffered replica of CEIN when VCC is valid (>4.65 V), with 6–10 ns propagation delay. During reset or brownout (VCC < 4.65 V), CEOUT is forced high regardless of CEIN state - preventing spurious writes to battery-backed CMOS RAM. This ensures data integrity during power transitions.
Does the ADM691ARZ-REEL7 provide power-fail warning capability?
Yes, the ADM691ARZ-REEL7 includes a dedicated power-fail comparator with PFI and PFO pins. The PFI input compares against an internal 1.25 V reference; when PFI voltage falls below 1.25 V, PFO goes low within 25 µs. This allows designers to configure early warning (e.g., at 7 V input) using an external resistor divider, giving the microprocessor time to save critical data before VCC crosses the 4.65 V reset threshold.
