Product details
Overview
ADM706PAN from Analog Devices is a 3 V microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high reset output, 2.63 V precision voltage monitor threshold, 200 ms reset pulse width, and integrated watchdog timer (1.6 s timeout). It ensures reliable power-on, brownout, and software-fault recovery in embedded controllers and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ADM706PAN datasheet, ADM706PAN pinout, ADM706PAN application, or ADM706PAN equivalent, key selection criteria include its active-high RESET logic, guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1 V, debounced manual reset input (MR), independent power-fail warning (PFI/PFO), and compatibility with 3 V/3.3 V systems requiring deterministic reset timing and watchdog supervision.
Technical Context
The ADM706PAN integrates a precision bandgap-based voltage reference (2.63 V ±70 mV), a 200 ms monostable reset generator, and a 1.6 s watchdog timer cleared by WDI transitions. Its internal 70 µA MR pull-up enables direct switch interfacing without external biasing.
It features dual-supervision capability: primary VCC monitoring for system reset and secondary 1.25 V PFI comparator for power-fail or low-battery warning. RESET remains valid down to VCC = 1 V, ensuring fail-safe microprocessor hold during deep undervoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63 V ±70 mV - precisely triggers reset at 2.63 V supply drop, matching 3 V rail brownout detection requirements. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - provides sufficient time for microprocessor power stabilization and firmware initialization after power-up or recovery. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s - detects software lockup when WDI fails to toggle, enabling NMI-driven fault recovery before system hang. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA max at VCC < 3.6 V - enables long-term operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained applications. |
| Supply Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - guarantees functional RESET assertion even during severe brownout (down to 1 V), critical for orderly shutdown. |
| Reset Polarity | Active-high RESET - directly interfaces with microprocessors requiring high-asserted reset signals without level-shifting. |
| MR Input | Debounced, TTL/CMOS-compatible, 70 µA internal pull-up - eliminates need for external RC filtering or pull-up resistors. |
Pinout & Package
ADM706PAN is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body plastic dual in-line package (PDIP, N-8), compliant with JEDEC MS-001, with 0.300-inch body width and 0.100-inch lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible input; asserted low (<0.6 V) forces 200 ms RESET pulse; internally pulled up with 70 µA current. |
| 2 (VCC) | Power Supply Input | Primary supply connection; requires 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to GND for noise immunity and stable reset generation. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common 0 V reference for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input of 1.25 V comparator; monitors auxiliary supply via resistor divider; goes low on PFI < 1.25 V. |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain active-low output signaling power failure or low battery; sinks ≥1.2 mA at VCC < 3.6 V. |
| 6 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; any transition (HI↔LO) resets 1.6 s watchdog timer; accepts pulses as narrow as 50 ns. |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output asserting high during reset condition; drives loads up to 215 µA source / 1.2 mA sink at VCC < 3.6 V. |
| 8 (WDO) | Watchdog Output | Open-drain active-low output; goes low on watchdog timeout or VCC < reset threshold; requires external pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET validity at VCC = 1 V | Ensures microprocessor remains held in reset during deep brownout, preventing undefined state or partial execution. |
| Integrated 1.25 V PFI comparator | Enables early-warning power-fail detection or secondary supply monitoring without external op-amps or references. |
| Debounced MR input with internal 70 µA pull-up | Eliminates external components for pushbutton reset circuits and simplifies PCB layout in space-constrained designs. |
| Independent watchdog timer with 1.6 s timeout | Provides hardware-enforced software health check, triggering NMI or system reset if firmware stalls or misses WDI toggles. |
| Active-high RESET output | Directly interfaces with processors like ARM Cortex-M series or legacy 8-bit MCUs requiring high-asserted reset signals. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM706RANZ | Identical pinout and package; active-low RESET output instead of active-high; same 2.63 V threshold and 1.6 s watchdog. | Requires inverted reset logic or external inverter; suitable for systems designed around low-active reset signals. | Select ADM706RANZ only if target MCU or FPGA expects active-low reset assertion. |
| MAX706P | Pin-compatible upgrade path; same 2.63 V threshold and active-high RESET; higher quiescent current (120 µA typ vs. 100 µA). | Lacks guaranteed RESET validity below 1.2 V; less robust under extreme brownout conditions than ADM706PAN. | Choose MAX706P only for legacy design refresh where exact footprint reuse is mandatory and brownout margin >1.2 V is assured. |
Compared with ADM706RANZ and MAX706P, ADM706PAN uniquely delivers active-high reset with guaranteed sub-1 V operation and lower quiescent current-making it optimal for new designs prioritizing low-power reliability and direct interface simplicity.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the ADM706PAN?
The ADM706PAN has a precision reset threshold of 2.63 V, with a tolerance of ±70 mV (2.55 V to 2.70 V). This value is factory-trimmed and specified over the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). The threshold is optimized for reliable supervision of 3 V power rails, triggering reset during power-up, brownout, or power-down events. The ADM706PAN maintains this specification without external calibration or trimming components.
Does the ADM706PAN support active-high reset output?
Yes, the ADM706PAN provides an active-high RESET output (pin 7), distinguishing it from the ADM706R/ADM706S/ADM706T variants which offer active-low RESET. This allows direct connection to microprocessors, FPGAs, or ASICs that require a high-asserted reset signal without level-shifting circuitry. The output is push-pull, capable of sourcing 215 µA at VCC < 3.6 V, and remains valid down to VCC = 1 V.
How does the watchdog timer function in the ADM706PAN?
The ADM706PAN incorporates an independent watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds. It is cleared by any edge (rising or falling) on the WDI input (pin 6); pulses as narrow as 50 ns are detected. If no transition occurs within 1.6 s, the open-drain WDO output (pin 8) goes low, signaling a software fault. WDO can drive a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) or be connected to MR for automatic system reset.
Can the ADM706PAN monitor a secondary power supply?
Yes, the ADM706PAN includes a dedicated 1.25 V power-fail comparator accessible via the PFI (pin 4) and PFO (pin 5) terminals. By connecting a resistor divider from a secondary supply (e.g., battery or auxiliary rail) to PFI, the device generates a low-going PFO signal when the monitored voltage falls below 1.25 V. This enables early-warning low-battery detection or dual-rail supervision without additional ICs.
What package options are available for the ADM706PAN?
The ADM706PAN is supplied exclusively in the 8-lead narrow-body plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), designated N-8 per JEDEC MS-001. Its dimensions are 0.300 inches wide with 0.100 inch lead pitch. This through-hole package supports prototyping, legacy board assembly, and applications requiring mechanical robustness or ease of hand-soldering. Surface-mount alternatives (e.g., SOIC_N) exist for other variants like ADM706PARZ, but not for the ADM706PAN suffix.
