Product details
Overview
ADM693AARW from Analog Devices is a microprocessor supervisory circuit providing precision 4.4 V ±3% reset threshold, 200 ms or adjustable reset timeout, automatic battery backup switchover (VCC/VBATT), watchdog timer with 100 ms/1.6 s selectable timeout, and chip-enable gating - used in industrial controllers and automotive ECUs for reliable power-up sequencing and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the ADM693AARW datasheet, ADM693AARW pinout, ADM693AARW application, or ADM693AARW equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, validated package mapping to R-16W SOIC, confirmed battery switchover behavior at ≤1 V VCC operation, and real-world timing constraints for CEOUT propagation (≤10 ns) and RESET assertion (80 µs power-down delay).
Technical Context
The ADM693AARW integrates a precision voltage detector (4.4 V threshold with 15 mV hysteresis), an internal oscillator enabling fixed or capacitor-adjustable reset (200 ms) and watchdog (100 ms / 1.6 s) timeouts, and dual-path power switching: a 0.75 Ω PMOS switch for VCC-to-VOUT delivery up to 250 mA, and a 7 Ω NMOS switch for VBATT-to-VOUT backup down to 2.0 V VBATT.
Its CEIN/CEOUT gating logic enforces RAM write protection by forcing CEOUT high during reset, while the 1.25 V PFI comparator provides early power-fail warning with 25 µs response and ±25 nA input bias - all operating across –40°C to +85°C with <100 µA supply current in normal mode and 0.04 µA in battery-backup mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.4 V ±3% - ensures compatibility with 5 V ±10% supplies; guaranteed min/max 4.25 V / 4.50 V. |
| Reset Timeout | 200 ms typ (internal oscillator) - holds µP in reset long enough for power and clock stabilization. |
| Battery Switchover | VCC–VBATT hysteresis = 60 mV - prevents oscillation during marginal supply transitions. |
| VCC-to-VOUT RON | 0.8–1.2 Ω @ 4.5 V - enables ≤250 mA continuous load with <300 mV dropout at full current. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 100 ms (short) or 1.6 s (long) - configurable via OSC IN/OSC SEL; first timeout after reset is always 1.6 s. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V ±0.05 V - supports external voltage divider for early power-fail detection before reset threshold breach. |
| Supply Current | 70–100 µA (normal), 0.04–1 µA (battery backup) - enables >10-year coin-cell lifetime in backup mode. |
Pinout & Package
ADM693AARW is packaged in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC (R-16W), 7.5 mm × 10.3 mm, 1.27 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VBATT | Backup battery input | Accepts 2.0–6 V; internally switched to VOUT when VCC drops below reset threshold + hysteresis. |
| 2 VOUT | Switched output rail | Delivers VCC (0.02–0.05 V drop @ 25 mA) or VBATT (0.15–0.3 V drop @ 5–20 mA) to RAM or logic. |
| 3 VCC | Main +5 V supply input | Operates from 4.5–5.5 V; reset asserted if VCC falls below 4.4 V; functional down to 1 V. |
| 4 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all analog/digital functions; decoupling capacitor required at VCC/GND. |
| 5 BATT ON | Battery switchover status output | Open-drain logic high when VBATT powers VOUT; drives external PNP base for >250 mA loads. |
| 6 LOW LINE | Low-VCC indicator | Active-low signal asserting immediately on VCC crossing reset threshold; no delay. |
| 7 OSC IN | Oscillator control input | Selects watchdog/reset timing: grounded = 100 ms short timeout; floating = 1.6 s long timeout. |
| 8 OSC SEL | Oscillator mode select | Floating/high = internal oscillator enabled; low = external clock/capacitor mode. |
| 9 PFI | Power-fail input | Non-inverting comparator input referenced to 1.25 V; detects supply droop before reset activation. |
| 10 PFO | Power-fail output | Active-low interrupt signal with 25–60 µs delay; used to trigger NMI or data-save routines. |
| 11 WDI | Watchdog input | Three-level input (low/mid/high); transition resets timer; floating disables watchdog. |
| 12 CEOUT | Gated chip-enable output | Follows CEIN when VCC valid; forced high during reset to block RAM writes. |
| 13 CEIN | Chip-enable input | Directly controls CEOUT; must be pulled to VOUT or GND if unused to prevent leakage. |
| 14 WDO | Watchdog status output | Active-low open-drain output; remains low until next WDI transition after timeout. |
| 15 RESET | Active-low reset output | Drives µP reset pin; 200 ms pulse after VCC rise; sinks 3.2 mA @ 0.4 V max. |
| 16 RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary open-drain output; useful for processors requiring active-high reset assertion. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX693AESA+ | 4.4 V reset threshold, same 200 ms timeout, but higher 15 µA quiescent current and no integrated CE gating. | Lacks hardware write protection; requires external logic for CE control - increases BOM count and layout complexity. | Choose MAX693AESA+ only if legacy MAX compatibility is mandatory and CE gating is implemented externally. |
| TPS3823-44DBVR | 4.4 V threshold, 200 ms timeout, but no battery switchover, no watchdog, and no CE gating - pure reset supervisor. | Suitable only for basic reset-only use cases; cannot replace ADM693AARW in battery-backed or watchdog-enabled designs. | Select TPS3823-44DBVR only for cost-sensitive applications requiring reset-only functionality with minimal feature set. |
Compared with MAX693AESA+, ADM693AARW adds integrated CE gating and lower battery-backup current; compared with TPS3823-44DBVR, it delivers full supervisory functionality including switchover, watchdog, and PFI/PFO - making it the sole choice for complete µP power management in space-constrained industrial modules.

FAQ
What is the exact reset voltage threshold and tolerance for ADM693AARW?
The ADM693AARW has a guaranteed reset voltage threshold of 4.4 V with ±3% tolerance, meaning the actual trip point falls between 4.25 V and 4.50 V across temperature and supply variations. This specification is explicitly defined in the datasheet's "RESET AND WATCHDOG TIMER" table and ensures compatibility with 5 V ±10% power rails. The 15 mV hysteresis prevents chatter near the threshold, and the circuit remains operational down to VCC = 1 V - a key differentiator from many competing supervisors.
Does ADM693AARW support battery backup switching, and what are the voltage and current limits?
Yes, ADM693AARW supports automatic battery backup switching between VCC and VBATT. It operates with VBATT from 2.0 V to 6 V and switches to VBATT when VCC falls below the reset threshold minus hysteresis. In battery mode, VOUT delivers VBATT − 0.15 V (at 5 mA) to VBATT − 0.3 V (at 20 mA) through a 7 Ω internal switch. Supply current in battery backup is specified at 0.04–1 µA, enabling multi-year operation on coin cells - confirmed in the "BATTERY BACKUP SWITCHING" section of the datasheet.
How is the watchdog timeout configured on ADM693AARW, and what are the available periods?
The ADM693AARW watchdog timeout is configured using pins OSC SEL and OSC IN. With both pins floating, the timeout is fixed at 1.6 s (long period). Grounding OSC IN selects 100 ms (short period), except immediately after reset - the first timeout is always 1.6 s to allow processor initialization. Driving OSC SEL low enables external configuration: connecting a capacitor to OSC IN yields Twd = 600 × (C/47 pF) ms, while an external clock gives Twd = 1024/fCLK. These modes are fully documented in Table II and Figure 18c/d.
What is the function of the CEIN and CEOUT pins on ADM693AARW, and how do they protect memory?
CEIN and CEOUT implement hardware-enforced RAM write protection. CEIN accepts the system's chip-enable signal; CEOUT replicates it with ≤10 ns propagation delay when VCC is valid. When VCC drops below the 4.4 V reset threshold, CEOUT is forced high - regardless of CEIN state - blocking write access to battery-backed CMOS RAM or FRAM. This prevents data corruption during power-up, brownout, or shutdown, as verified in the "CE Gating and RAM Write Protection" section and Figure 17 timing diagram.
Can ADM693AARW monitor power supplies other than +5 V, and how is that implemented?
Yes, ADM693AARW can monitor auxiliary supplies via its 1.25 V PFI (Power Fail Input) comparator. By connecting a resistive divider from the target supply (e.g., +3.3 V, +12 V, or unregulated input) to PFI, the voltage at PFI is scaled to cross 1.25 V before the main 5 V rail reaches its 4.4 V reset threshold. For example, a 7 V warning threshold is achieved with R1/R2 = 4.6 - giving ≥10 ms advance notice. PFO asserts low within 25–60 µs, and the comparator remains active in battery-backup mode if VCC ≥ VBATT − 1.2 V, as stated in Table III.
