Product details
Overview
ADM696ANZ from Analog Devices is a microprocessor supervisory circuit integrating power-on/brownout reset, battery backup switchover, watchdog timer, low-line detection, and power-fail warning in a single 16-pin PDIP package. It asserts RESET down to 1 V VCC, provides 100 mA VOUT drive with <50 mV dropout, supports 100 ms or 1.6 s watchdog timeout, and features 1.3 V precision threshold for LLIN/PFI. It is used in industrial controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable power monitoring and nonvolatile memory retention during outages.
For engineers reviewing the ADM696ANZ datasheet, ADM696ANZ pinout, ADM696ANZ application, or ADM696ANZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode watchdog (internal/external clock), battery switchover hysteresis (20 mV), guaranteed reset operation at 1 V VCC, and compatibility with CMOS RAM write protection via BATT ON and RESET outputs.
Technical Context
The ADM696ANZ implements a dual-threshold comparator architecture for LLIN and PFI inputs, both referenced to a stable 1.3 V internal bandgap. Its reset generator uses an internal RC timebase with OSC SEL–controlled selection between fixed (50 ms) and adjustable delays via external capacitor or clock on OSC IN.
Battery switchover employs a PMOS pass switch with 1.5 Ω typical on-resistance and automatic hysteresis (70 mV turn-on, 50 mV turn-off), enabling seamless transition between VCC and VBATT without oscillation. The WDI input is a three-level interface with ~125 kΩ impedance and internal biasing at 38% of VCC, supporting edge-triggered watchdog reset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - Supports standard 3.3 V and 5 V logic rails with full functionality. |
| RESET Assertion Voltage | Down to 1.0 V VCC - Ensures processor remains held in reset during deep brownout conditions. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 100 ms or 1.6 s (selectable) - Provides flexibility for fast-recovery or robust stall detection in real-time firmware. |
| VOUT Drive Capability | 100 mA at ≤0.5 V dropout - Directly powers CMOS RAM banks without external pass devices under normal operation. |
| Battery Switchover Hysteresis | 20 mV - Prevents chattering during slow VCC decay near VBATT voltage, ensuring clean transition. |
| Supply Current (Active) | 1.95 mA max at 100 mA load - Enables low-power system design while maintaining high-current output capability. |
| Standby Current (Battery Mode) | 1 µA max - Minimizes self-discharge of backup batteries during extended power loss. |
Pinout & Package
ADM696ANZ is housed in a 16-pin plastic DIP (N-16) package with 0.3-inch body width and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is VBATT; pin 16 is active-low RESET. All pins are electrically defined per Analog Devices ADM696 datasheet Rev. 0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VBATT) | Backup Battery Input | Accepts 2.0 V to (VCC – 0.3 V); enables automatic switchover when VCC drops below VBATT – 50 mV. |
| 2 (VOUT) | Switched Output Supply | Delivers VCC or VBATT (whichever is higher) to RAM; rated for 100 mA continuous, 1.5 Ω on-resistance. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 5 (BATT ON) | Battery Active Indicator | Open-drain output pulled high during battery backup; sinks 7 mA to drive external PNP base for >100 mA loads. |
| 6 (LOW LINE) | Low-Line Status Flag | Active-low signal indicating LLIN < 1.3 V; returns high immediately upon LLIN recovery-no delay. |
| 7 (OSC IN) | Oscillator Timing Input | Accepts external clock (0–250 kHz) or 47 pF capacitor to adjust reset/watchdog timing independently. |
| 8 (OSC SEL) | Oscillator Mode Select | High/floating = internal oscillator; low = external clock/capacitor mode; includes 5 µA internal pullup. |
| 9 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting comparator input; triggers PFO low when voltage falls below 1.3 V ±15 mV. |
| 10 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Active-low interrupt signal for early power-loss notification; used to trigger data save before shutdown. |
| 11 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Three-level input (low/mid/high); reset triggered by absence of edge transitions beyond timeout period. |
| 14 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Active-low status flag that stays low until next WDI transition; also forced high during LLIN fault. |
| 15 (RESET) | Reset Output (Active Low) | Guaranteed valid down to 1 V VCC; 50 ms minimum pulse width after LLIN recovery. |
| 16 (RESET) | Reset Output (Active High) | Inverted complement of pin 15; supports processors requiring active-high reset assertion. |
| 12 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no external connection permitted. |
| 13 (LLIN) | Low-Line Input | Main supply monitor input; compared to 1.3 V reference with 12 mV hysteresis for noise rejection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Reset Timeout | Configurable from 35 ms to 70 ms via OSC SEL/OSC IN - allows tuning for specific processor startup timing. |
| Low-Voltage Reset Guarantee | Operational reset assertion at VCC = 1.0 V - ensures deterministic shutdown during severe undervoltage. |
| Integrated Battery Switchover | Automatic, hysteresis-controlled switching between VCC and VBATT - eliminates need for external diodes or MOSFETs. |
| Three-Level Watchdog Input | WDI accepts logic low, mid-supply (~1.9 V @ 5 V), or logic high - enables flexible toggle or level-based monitoring schemes. |
| Power-Fail Warning with Programmable Threshold | PFI input referenced to 1.3 V ±15 mV - supports early warning via resistor divider before main reset threshold is breached. |
| CMOS-Compatible Outputs | All digital outputs meet 1.6 mA sink / 1 µA source specs at 3–5.5 V - directly interfaces with standard logic families. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX696CPE+ | Pin-compatible but lacks adjustable watchdog timeout; fixed 1.6 s only. Higher quiescent current (5 µA vs. 0.6 µA in battery mode). | Not suitable for systems requiring short watchdog period (100 ms) or external clock synchronization. | Select MAX696CPE+ only if legacy drop-in replacement is required and adjustable timing is unnecessary. |
| TPS3823MPW | Single-supply reset IC only-no battery switchover, no watchdog, no PFI/PFO. 3-pin SOT-23 package. | Cannot replace ADM696ANZ in battery-backed RAM applications; limited to basic reset generation. | Choose TPS3823MPW only for cost-sensitive designs needing only power-on reset without supervision features. |
Compared with MAX696CPE+, ADM696ANZ offers field-programmable watchdog periods and lower battery-mode current; versus TPS3823MPW, it delivers integrated battery management and dual-comparator monitoring-making it irreplaceable in full-featured supervisory roles.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC voltage at which ADM696ANZ guarantees RESET assertion?
ADM696ANZ guarantees active-low RESET assertion down to 1.0 V VCC, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables of the official Analog Devices datasheet Rev. 0. This ensures reliable microprocessor hold-down during deep brownout events where other supervisors may release reset prematurely. The ADM696ANZ achieves this using a dedicated low-voltage reference and optimized reset comparator design.
Does ADM696ANZ support external adjustment of the watchdog timeout period?
Yes, ADM696ANZ supports external adjustment of the watchdog timeout period via two methods: applying a clock signal (0–250 kHz) to OSC IN with OSC SEL grounded, or connecting a capacitor (e.g., 47 pF) between OSC IN and GND. Table I in the datasheet specifies scaling factors: 400 ms × C/47 pF (short) and 1.6 s × C/47 pF (long). This capability is intrinsic to the ADM696ANZ and verified across its full operating temperature range.
Can ADM696ANZ drive more than 100 mA at VOUT?
ADM696ANZ's internal VOUT switch is rated for 100 mA continuous current. To exceed this, the BATT ON output can directly drive the base of an external PNP transistor, as shown in Figure 14 of the datasheet. This configuration allows VOUT to deliver >200 mA while maintaining low dropout voltage. The ADM696ANZ's BATT ON output is designed explicitly for this purpose, sinking 7 mA with 0.4 V saturation.
How does ADM696ANZ handle battery switchover hysteresis?
ADM696ANZ implements 20 mV hysteresis in battery switchover: turn-on occurs when VCC rises to VBATT + 70 mV, and turn-off occurs when VCC falls to VBATT + 50 mV. This prevents oscillatory switching during slow VCC decay near VBATT voltage. The hysteresis is built into the comparator circuitry and is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Battery Switchover Hysteresis" for the ADM696ANZ.
Is ADM696ANZ compatible with rechargeable backup batteries?
Yes, ADM696ANZ is compatible with rechargeable backup batteries, including NiMH and Li-ion cells. Its VBATT terminal sources a safe charging current of ≤0.1 µA (typical 10 nA), well within safe charging limits for even small lithium cells. Figure 15 in the datasheet shows the recommended rechargeable battery interface, confirming ADM696ANZ's suitability for long-life, maintenance-free backup solutions.
