Product details
Overview
ADM708AR-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 below 1 V VCC is required.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708AR-REEL datasheet, ADM708AR-REEL pinout, ADM708AR-REEL application, or ADM708AR-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed RESET validity down to 1 V, 190 μA quiescent current, absence of watchdog timer (distinguishing it from ADM706), dual reset polarity support via RESET/RESET, and SOIC_N package compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.
Technical Context
The ADM708AR-REEL implements a fixed 4.40 V precision voltage monitor with 40 mV hysteresis to detect VCC brownout conditions and trigger a 200 ms active-high RESET signal. Its internal 1.25 V reference enables independent power-fail detection via the PFI input, driving PFO low when external supply voltage drops below threshold.
No watchdog timer is integrated-unlike ADM705/ADM706-making ADM708AR-REEL suitable for systems requiring only supply monitoring and manual reset (MR) functionality. The MR input is TTL/CMOS-compatible, internally debounced, and pulled up with 250 μA to ensure noise-immune reset initiation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.40 V ±0.15 V - triggers reset during 5 V supply brownout; matches ADM706/ADM708 family specification |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - provides sufficient time for microprocessor power stabilization after power-up or recovery |
| Quiescent Current | 190 μA typical - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - guarantees functional RESET output even during deep undervoltage ramp-up or shutdown |
| Power-Fail Comparator | 1.25 V threshold at PFI - allows monitoring of secondary supplies or preregulator inputs via resistive divider |
| Manual Reset Input | Debounced, 0.8 V logic-low threshold - accepts direct switch or logic-level assertion without external RC filtering |
| Reset Output Polarity | Active-high RESET and active-low RESET - supports bidirectional or legacy processor reset interface requirements |
Pinout & Package
ADM708AR-REEL is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm body, and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 marked with notch or bevel; device operates over −40°C to +85°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | TTL/CMOS-compatible debounced input; asserted low <0.8 V to generate reset; internally pulled up with 250 μA |
| 2 (VCC) | Power Supply Input | 5 V nominal supply input; requires 0.1 μF decoupling capacitor to GND for noise immunity |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuits and I/O; 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 | Open-drain active-low output; asserts when PFI < 1.25 V; can interrupt MCU or drive external logic |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND (not VCC) |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-High Reset Output | Push-pull output; goes high for 200 ms on power-up/brownout/MR assertion; valid down to 1 V VCC |
| 8 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Inverted complement of RESET; supports processors requiring active-low reset signaling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed RESET below 1 V VCC | Ensures deterministic microprocessor hold-down during full power-rail collapse, eliminating risk of undefined state |
| Dual-polarity reset outputs | Simultaneous RESET (active-high) and RESET (active-low) eliminate need for external inverters in mixed-logic systems |
| Integrated power-fail comparator | 1.25 V reference + PFI/PFO enables early warning of supply degradation before main VCC dropout |
| Debounced manual reset input | 250 μA internal pull-up and 200 ms timing eliminates need for external debounce circuitry or software polling |
| Low quiescent current | 190 μA operation extends battery life in portable or backup-supply applications without sacrificing supervision accuracy |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Diagnostic Instrument |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Monitors 5 V logic rail in programmable logic controller during factory floor voltage fluctuations and EMI events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC providing brownout-triggered active-high RESET to ARM Cortex-M7 core and active-low RESET to FPGA configuration logic. Use Value: Prevents firmware corruption by holding processors in reset until VCC stabilizes above 4.40 V with 200 ms delay, while PFO alerts firmware of auxiliary 12 V supply decay. |
Use Scenario: Ensures safe shutdown sequence in ultrasound imaging system when main 5 V DC-DC converter exhibits slow transient response. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage supervisor asserting RESET on VCC dip and generating PFO interrupt to initiate data save and hardware isolation before power loss.

Use Scenario: Manages reset sequencing for CAN-enabled microcontroller and LIN transceivers in door module exposed to automotive load-dump transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary supervisor asserting RESET during cranking-induced 5 V sag; PFO feeds diagnostic ECU to log undervoltage events.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM706AR-REEL | Includes watchdog timer (1.60 s timeout); same 4.40 V reset threshold; active-low RESET only | Required where software hang detection is needed; lacks active-high RESET output | Select ADM706AR-REEL only if watchdog functionality is mandatory and active-high reset is not required |
| MAX708RCSA+ | Pin-compatible Maxim replacement; 4.40 V threshold; 200 ms reset; includes watchdog but no PFO | Used in legacy designs migrating from MAXIM; lacks power-fail comparator output | Choose MAX708RCSA+ only for drop-in replacement in existing MAX708 layouts where PFO is unused |
Compared with ADM708AR-REEL, ADM706AR-REEL adds watchdog capability at the cost of losing active-high reset and PFO functionality, while MAX708RCSA+ offers pin compatibility but omits the critical power-fail comparator needed for predictive supply monitoring.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage for ADM708AR-REEL?
The ADM708AR-REEL has a precision reset threshold of 4.40 V, with a tolerance of ±0.15 V (4.25 V to 4.50 V). This value is factory-trimmed and specified over the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). The threshold applies to both power-up and brownout detection, and the device guarantees valid RESET output even when VCC drops as low as 1 V.
Does ADM708AR-REEL include a watchdog timer function?
No, ADM708AR-REEL does not include a watchdog timer. It belongs to the ADM707/ADM708 subgroup, which omits the watchdog circuitry present in ADM705/ADM706. Instead, ADM708AR-REEL provides dual reset outputs (active-high RESET and active-low RESET) and a dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) for auxiliary supply monitoring.
What package type is used for ADM708AR-REEL?
ADM708AR-REEL is supplied in an 8-lead Standard Small Outline Package (SOIC_N), also designated R-8 per JEDEC MS-012-AA. It features a 1.27 mm lead pitch, 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm body size, and gull-wing leads. The "-REEL" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT assembly.
How does the power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) work in ADM708AR-REEL?
The PFI input connects to the noninverting terminal of an internal comparator referenced to a precise 1.25 V bandgap voltage. When the voltage at PFI falls below 1.25 V, the open-drain PFO output pulls low. This allows monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., 12 V, 3.3 V) using an external resistor divider. If unused, PFI must be tied to GND to prevent floating node issues.
Can ADM708AR-REEL operate with supply voltages below 5 V?
Yes, ADM708AR-REEL operates over a VCC range of 1.0 V to 5.5 V. Its reset function remains fully specified and guaranteed down to 1.0 V, enabling reliable hold-down during deep undervoltage conditions. However, the 4.40 V reset threshold is calibrated for nominal 5 V systems; operation at lower nominal rails (e.g., 3.3 V) requires verification of threshold margin against actual supply tolerances.
