Product details
Overview
ADM706RAN from Analog Devices is a 3 V microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-low reset output, 2.63 V precision voltage monitoring threshold, 200 ms reset pulse width, 100 µA quiescent current, and integrated watchdog timer-designed for reliable power-on, brownout, and software-failure detection in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADM706RAN datasheet, ADM706RAN pinout, ADM706RAN application, or ADM706RAN equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional context, package mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for industrial microcontroller reset management.
Technical Context
The ADM706RAN implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference (2.63 V ±40 mV) to monitor VCC supply integrity, asserting RESET when VCC drops below threshold and holding it low for 200 ms after recovery. Its internal watchdog timer triggers WDO low if WDI input fails to toggle within 1.6 sec, supporting fail-safe microprocessor supervision.
A dedicated 1.25 V power-fail comparator monitors external supplies via PFI, driving PFO low on undervoltage-enabling early warning of battery depletion or auxiliary rail failure. The MR input is internally debounced and pulled up with 70 µA, compatible with TTL/CMOS logic or mechanical switches.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63 V ±40 mV - ensures reliable reset assertion at nominal 3 V supply with margin for tolerance and drift |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms - guarantees sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization and clock stabilization |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA at VCC < 3.6 V - enables long-term operation in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 sec - provides robust software activity monitoring without excessive sensitivity to timing jitter |
| Valid RESET Down to | VCC = 1 V - maintains deterministic reset state during deep brownout or controlled power-down sequences |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25 V on PFI - supports accurate monitoring of secondary rails (e.g., 5 V, 12 V) via resistive divider |
| MR Input Pull-Up | 70 µA - eliminates need for external pull-up while ensuring clean TTL/CMOS-compatible switching |
Pinout & Package
ADM706RAN is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body PDIP (N-8) package with 0.3-inch body width and standard DIP lead spacing. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; leads are numbered counterclockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Debounced active-low input; internally pulled up with 70 µA; triggers 200 ms RESET assertion when driven below 0.6 V |
| 2 VCC | Power Supply Input | Primary supply rail (2.7–5.5 V); requires 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input to 1.25 V comparator; monitors external supply via resistor divider; connect to GND if unused |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output signaling PFI undervoltage; sinks ≥1.2 mA at VCC < 3.6 V |
| 6 WDI | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; any transition clears 1.6 sec timer; accepts pulses as narrow as 50 ns at VCC = 5 V |
| 7 RESET | Reset Output | Active-low push-pull output; drives low for 200 ms on power-up/brownout/MR assert; valid down to VCC = 1 V |
| 8 WDO | Watchdog Output | Active-low push-pull output; goes low on WDI timeout or VCC < reset threshold; resets only on WDI edge or VCC recovery |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Precision 2.63 V reset threshold | ±40 mV tolerance ensures consistent reset behavior across temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and supply variation |
| Guaranteed RESET validity to 1 V VCC | Enables fail-safe shutdown sequencing even during severe brownout-no external pull-down required |
| Integrated 1.6 sec watchdog timer | Eliminates need for external timing components; supports software health-check without CPU overhead |
| Dedicated 1.25 V power-fail comparator | Allows independent monitoring of backup rails or battery voltage without sharing reset threshold resources |
| Internally debounced MR input | Removes requirement for external RC filtering or firmware debounce logic-reduces BOM and layout complexity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX706RCPA+ | Same 2.63 V reset threshold, 200 ms reset pulse, and active-low RESET; lacks integrated watchdog timer and PFI/PFO comparator | Suitable where only basic reset supervision is needed; not viable for systems requiring power-fail warning or software stall detection | Select MAX706RCPA+ only if watchdog and power-fail features are unused-reduces cost but removes critical safety layers |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor), 200 ms delay, 1.8 µA quiescent current; no watchdog or PFI inputs | Better suited for ultra-low-power battery systems; requires external components for threshold setting and lacks dual-supply monitoring capability | Choose TPS3808G12DBVR for extended battery life in non-safety-critical applications; avoid when PFI-based early-warning or WDI-based software supervision is required |
Compared with ADM706RAN, MAX706RCPA+ offers identical reset behavior but omits watchdog and power-fail functions-making it a reduced-feature alternative-while TPS3808G12DBVR trades integration for ultra-low quiescent current and adjustable threshold, sacrificing PFI/WDO functionality entirely.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the ADM706RAN?
The ADM706RAN has a precision reset threshold of 2.63 V, with a typical tolerance of ±40 mV. This value is fixed and factory-trimmed, ensuring consistent reset assertion across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply voltages from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The ADM706RAN uses an internal bandgap reference to maintain accuracy without external components.
Does the ADM706RAN include a watchdog timer function?
Yes, the ADM706RAN integrates a watchdog timer with a nominal timeout period of 1.6 seconds. It monitors the WDI input for transitions and asserts WDO low if no edge occurs within that window. The timer resets on every WDI edge (high-to-low or low-to-high) and is also cleared during RESET assertion. This functionality is confirmed in the ADM706RAN's functional block diagram and timing specifications.
Can the ADM706RAN monitor a secondary power supply?
Yes, the ADM706RAN can monitor a secondary supply using its PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin, which connects to an internal 1.25 V comparator. By configuring a resistive divider between the secondary rail and GND, the voltage at PFI drops below 1.25 V when the monitored supply falls out of tolerance-causing PFO to go low. This feature is explicitly documented in the ADM706RAN datasheet's Applications Information section.
What package type is used for the ADM706RAN?
The ADM706RAN is supplied in an 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, and it is rated for operation from −40°C to +85°C. This through-hole package is specified in the official Analog Devices ordering guide for the ADM706RAN part number.
Is the ADM706RAN reset output active-high or active-low?
The ADM706RAN features an active-low RESET output, as confirmed by its "R" suffix designation and datasheet specifications. When VCC drops below 2.63 V or MR is asserted, RESET is driven low for 200 ms. This behavior is distinct from the ADM706PAN (active-high) and matches the ADM706R family's standardized output polarity for compatibility with common microprocessor reset inputs.
