Product details
Overview
ADM708ARMZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a low-cost microprocessor supervisory circuit designed for 5 V supply monitoring in embedded systems. It provides active-high and active-low reset outputs, 4.40 V precision voltage threshold detection, 200 ms reset pulse width, and power-fail warning via PFI/PFO comparator - enabling reliable power-on reset and brownout protection in industrial controllers and intelligent instruments.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708ARMZ-REEL datasheet, ADM708ARMZ-REEL pinout, ADM708ARMZ-REEL application, or ADM708ARMZ-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4.40 V reset threshold, dual RESET polarity support, MSOP-8 package footprint, guaranteed RESET validity down to 1 V VCC, and absence of watchdog timer functionality compared to ADM705/ADM706 variants.
Technical Context
The ADM708ARMZ-REEL implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor with 4.40 V ±150 mV threshold and 40 mV hysteresis, ensuring stable reset assertion during supply ramp-up and brownout. Its dual-reset architecture delivers both active-low (RESET) and active-high (RESET) outputs synchronized to the same 200 ms timing window.
It integrates a dedicated 1.25 V reference comparator for external power-fail detection (PFI → PFO), supporting early-warning shutdown sequencing. Unlike ADM705/ADM706, it omits watchdog timer circuitry (no WDI/WDO pins), simplifying design where software supervision is handled externally or unnecessary.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.40 V ±150 mV - triggers reset when 5 V rail drops below this level, matching common TTL/CMOS logic supply tolerance limits. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization and clock stabilization after power-up. | Supply Current | 190 µA typical - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications without compromising supervision reliability. |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - guarantees functional RESET output even during deep brownout or ultra-low-voltage startup conditions. |
| Power-Fail Comparator | 1.25 V reference threshold at PFI - allows monitoring of secondary supplies or preregulator inputs using external resistor dividers. |
| Manual Reset Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible MR pin with 250 µA internal pull-up - supports direct switch or logic-level reset assertion without external biasing. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in harsh ambient environments. |
Pinout & Package
ADM708ARMZ-REEL is housed in an 8-lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP, RM-8), measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. The package is RoHS-compliant and optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RESET (active high) | Asserts high for 200 ms on power-up, brownout, or MR activation - directly interfaces with processors requiring active-high reset logic. |
| 2 | RESET (active low) | Complementary output to Pin 1; asserts low synchronously - supports bidirectional reset bus architectures with current-limiting resistor. |
| 3 | MR (Manual Reset) | Debounced TTL/CMOS input; pulling below 0.8 V forces reset - eliminates need for external RC debounce network. |
| 4 | VCC | 5 V supply input; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor - powers all internal comparators and output drivers. |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference for all analog and digital functions - must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| 6 | PFI | Noninverting input to 1.25 V reference comparator - monitors external supply via resistive divider; connect to GND if unused. |
| 7 | PFO | Open-drain power-fail output - goes low when PFI < 1.25 V; requires external pull-up for interrupt or reset generation. |
| 8 | NC | No connect - left unconnected per datasheet; no internal connection or function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-polarity reset outputs | Simultaneous active-high (RESET) and active-low (RESET) signals eliminate need for external inverters in mixed-logic systems. |
| Guaranteed reset below 1 V VCC | Ensures deterministic processor hold state during deep undervoltage events - critical for data retention and safe shutdown. |
| Integrated 1.25 V reference comparator | Enables flexible power-fail detection on auxiliary rails (e.g., 3.3 V, 12 V) using only two external resistors - no additional reference IC required. |
| 250 µA internal MR pull-up | Permits direct connection of momentary switches without external biasing components - reduces BOM count and board area. |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from −40°C to +85°C - suitable for factory automation, motor drives, and outdoor instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM706ARZ-REEL | Includes watchdog timer (WDI/WDO), 4.40 V threshold, SOIC-8 package, active-low only RESET. | Required where software activity monitoring is needed; lacks active-high RESET output. | Select when watchdog supervision is mandatory and board layout accommodates SOIC-8 instead of MSOP-8. |
| MAX692AESA+ | 4.40 V threshold, 200 ms reset width, SOIC-8, no watchdog, but includes power-fail comparator with 1.25 V reference. | Functionally identical supervision features; differs in MR input threshold (0.8 V vs. 0.8 V) and supply current (20 µA vs. 190 µA). | Choose for ultra-low-quiescent-current designs where 20 µA vs. 190 µA impacts battery life significantly. |
Compared with ADM708ARMZ-REEL, ADM706ARZ-REEL adds watchdog capability at the cost of losing active-high RESET and requiring SOIC-8 layout space, while MAX692AESA+ offers 10× lower quiescent current but lacks dual-reset outputs and uses a different package - making ADM708ARMZ-REEL optimal for space-constrained industrial designs needing both reset polarities.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for ADM708ARMZ-REEL?
The ADM708ARMZ-REEL has a nominal reset threshold of 4.40 V, with a tolerance of ±150 mV over temperature and supply variations. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in the datasheet Table 1 under "Reset Threshold" for ADM706/ADM708 devices. The threshold applies to both RESET and RESET outputs, ensuring consistent triggering behavior across operating conditions.
Does ADM708ARMZ-REEL include a watchdog timer function?
No, ADM708ARMZ-REEL does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike ADM705/ADM706 variants, it omits WDI and WDO pins entirely - as confirmed in Figure 5 (MSOP pinout) and Table 3 (pin descriptions). Its functional scope is limited to voltage monitoring, manual reset, and power-fail detection, making it suitable for applications where software supervision is handled externally.
What package type is used for ADM708ARMZ-REEL?
ADM708ARMZ-REEL is packaged in an 8-lead Mini Small Outline Package (MSOP), also designated RM-8 per JEDEC MO-187-AA. Its dimensions are 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.85 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch. The "ARMZ" part number suffix and Ordering Guide entry explicitly confirm RM-8 as the package, and "Z" denotes RoHS compliance.
Can ADM708ARMZ-REEL monitor a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, ADM708ARMZ-REEL can monitor a 3.3 V supply using its PFI input and internal 1.25 V reference comparator. By selecting appropriate resistor values (e.g., R1 = 100 kΩ, R2 = 62 kΩ), the voltage divider scales the 3.3 V rail to ~1.25 V at PFI. When the 3.3 V supply drops below ~3.05 V, PFO asserts low - enabling early-warning shutdown or flagging.
What is the minimum VCC required for valid RESET output from ADM708ARMZ-REEL?
The ADM708ARMZ-REEL guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1.0 V, as stated in the Features section and validated in Figure 6 and Figure 7 of the datasheet. Below 1.0 V, internal drive capability degrades; however, an external pull-down resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ to GND) can extend functional reset assertion to near-zero VCC if required for specific fail-safe designs.
