Product details
Overview
ADM708ARM-REEL from Analog Devices is a precision 5 V microprocessor supervisory circuit with active-high reset output, 4.40 V supply voltage monitor threshold, 200 ms reset pulse width, and power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO). It ensures reliable system initialization and brownout protection in embedded controllers and industrial instrumentation where stable reset assertion down to 1 V VCC is required.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708ARM-REEL datasheet, ADM708ARM-REEL pinout, ADM708ARM-REEL application, or ADM708ARM-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity at 1 V VCC, 190 μA quiescent current, 4.40 V reset threshold hysteresis, PFI-based low-battery warning capability, and compatibility with SOIC_N and MSOP packages for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The ADM708ARM-REEL implements a dedicated voltage-monitoring architecture with a precision 4.40 V reference comparator, internal 200 ms one-shot timer for reset pulse generation, and independent 1.25 V power-fail comparator with open-drain PFO output. Its active-high RESET output complements the active-low variant and eliminates need for external inversion logic in systems requiring high-true reset signaling.
No watchdog timer is integrated-unlike ADM705/ADM706-making it functionally aligned with ADM707/ADM708 family members. The MR input is TTL/CMOS-compatible, internally debounced, and pulled up with 250 μA current, enabling direct interface with push-button switches or logic outputs without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.40 V ±0.15 V - triggers reset during brownout when 5 V supply drops below safe operating level. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - holds processor in reset long enough for power stabilization and clock lock. |
| Quiescent Current | 190 μA - enables use in battery-backed or low-power always-on monitoring applications. |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - guarantees valid RESET output even during deep brownout or soft-start ramp-up. |
| Power-Fail Comparator Threshold | 1.25 V - allows configurable early-warning detection of supply collapse via external resistive divider on PFI. |
| MR Input Pull-Up Current | 250 μA - supports direct connection to mechanical reset switch without external resistor. |
| RESET Output Type | Active-high open-drain - compatible with 3.3 V or 5 V logic families; requires external pull-up for defined high state. |
Pinout & Package
ADM708ARM-REEL is packaged in an 8-lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP, RM-8) with 0.65 mm pitch, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body size, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked with dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MO-187-AA standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (active-high) | Open-drain output asserted high during reset; requires external pull-up to VCC or logic rail. |
| 2 | RESET (active-low) | Complementary active-low reset output; used simultaneously with active-high for bidirectional reset control. |
| 3 | MR | Debounced manual reset input; pulled up internally with 250 μA; asserts reset when driven below 0.8 V. |
| 4 | VCC | 5 V power supply input; decoupling capacitor (0.1 μF) required between VCC and GND for noise immunity. |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital functions; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| 6 | PFI | Noninverting input to 1.25 V power-fail comparator; monitors auxiliary supply via resistive divider. |
| 7 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output; goes low when PFI < 1.25 V; requires external pull-up for interrupt signaling. |
| 8 | NC | No connect - left unconnected per datasheet; no internal bonding or functionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET operation down to 1 V VCC | Ensures fail-safe reset hold during deep undervoltage events, preventing processor runaway before full power loss. |
| Integrated dual-reset outputs (RESET and RESET) | Eliminates need for external inverters in systems requiring both active-high and active-low reset signals. |
| 1.25 V precision power-fail comparator | Enables early warning of supply collapse or battery depletion using simple resistor network on PFI. |
| 250 μA internal MR pull-up | Supports direct mechanical switch interface without external biasing components, reducing BOM count. |
| 200 ms reset timeout with hysteresis | Prevents spurious resets during marginal supply conditions by enforcing minimum assertion duration. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM708ARZ-REEL | Same functional spec, but in 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package; 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm footprint vs. MSOP's 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm. | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCB layouts with SOIC land patterns. | Select ADM708ARZ-REEL if board space permits larger package and reflow compatibility with standard SOIC processes is required. |
| MAX692AESA+ | Maxim Integrated part; 4.63 V reset threshold, 200 ms timeout, but lacks PFI/PFO comparator and dual-reset outputs. | Suitable only for basic reset supervision without power-fail warning or bidirectional reset support. | Choose MAX692AESA+ only when PFI monitoring and complementary RESET are not needed and RoHS-compliant SOIC is acceptable. |
Compared with ADM708ARM-REEL, ADM708ARZ-REEL offers identical electrical behavior in a larger, more thermally robust SOIC package, while MAX692AESA+ sacrifices PFI functionality and dual-reset capability for lower cost in simpler applications.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for ADM708ARM-REEL?
The ADM708ARM-REEL has a nominal reset threshold of 4.40 V, with a tolerance of ±0.15 V over temperature and supply variations. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in Table 1 of the Rev. H datasheet. The threshold applies to both RESET and RESET outputs, ensuring consistent brownout detection across both polarity modes. The ADM708ARM-REEL uses this fixed threshold to initiate reset when VCC falls below the safe operating window for 5 V microprocessors.
Does ADM708ARM-REEL include a watchdog timer function?
No, ADM708ARM-REEL does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the ADM707/ADM708 subgroup, which omits the WDI/WDO circuitry present in ADM705/ADM706. The ADM708ARM-REEL provides only voltage monitoring, manual reset, and power-fail comparator functions. If watchdog functionality is required, the ADM706ARM-REEL (4.40 V threshold, with watchdog) must be selected instead-though it lacks the dual-reset outputs of ADM708ARM-REEL.
What package type is used for ADM708ARM-REEL?
ADM708ARM-REEL is supplied in an 8-lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP), designated RM-8 per JEDEC MO-187-AA. Its dimensions are 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.1 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. This compact package supports high-density PCB layouts and offers better thermal performance than PDIP, though less than SOIC. The "ARM" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the MSOP variant.
Can ADM708ARM-REEL monitor a 3.3 V supply directly?
No, ADM708ARM-REEL cannot monitor a 3.3 V supply directly-it is designed for 5 V systems with a 4.40 V reset threshold. However, its PFI input accepts any voltage referenced to GND and compares it to an internal 1.25 V reference. To monitor 3.3 V, a resistive divider (e.g., 100 kΩ + 60.4 kΩ) scales 3.3 V down to ~1.25 V at PFI. When the 3.3 V rail sags, PFO asserts low, enabling early warning without modifying the primary reset threshold.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on ADM708ARM-REEL?
Pin 8 on ADM708ARM-REEL is designated NC (No Connect) and must remain unconnected. It has no internal bond wire or circuit connection-confirmed in Figure 5 and Table 3 of the Rev. H datasheet. Leaving it floating poses no risk, but soldering or routing to this pin may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling. The NC designation distinguishes ADM708ARM-REEL from watchdog-equipped variants (e.g., ADM706) that use this pin for WDO output.
