Product details
Overview
ADM708RAR from Analog Devices is a 3 V microprocessor supervisory circuit with dual active-high/active-low reset outputs, 2.63 V reset threshold, 200 ms reset pulse width, and power-fail monitoring via 1.25 V PFI comparator - used in embedded controllers and battery-powered instrumentation for reliable power-up/brownout reset control.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708RAR datasheet, ADM708RAR pinout, ADM708RAR application, or ADM708RAR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed RESET validity down to 1 V VCC, debounced manual reset input (MR), absence of watchdog timer (distinguishing it from ADM706R), and SOIC-8 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ADM708RAR implements a precision voltage monitor with fixed 2.63 V reset threshold and hysteresis of 20 mV, ensuring stable reset assertion during supply ramp-up and brownout recovery. Its dual-reset architecture provides both RESET (active low) and RESET (active high) outputs simultaneously, eliminating need for external inverters in bidirectional reset systems.
It integrates a dedicated 1.25 V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) for early warning of supply collapse, with PFO asserting low when PFI falls below 1.25 V. Unlike ADM706-series variants, ADM708RAR omits watchdog timer circuitry - confirmed by absence of WDI and WDO pins and explicit functional block diagram differentiation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63 V ±0.08 V - triggers reset when VCC drops below this level; matches 3 V system rails with margin for noise and drift. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - ensures microprocessor completes power stabilization before release from reset state. |
| Supply Current | 100–200 µA at VCC < 3.6 V - enables long battery life in portable instruments and low-power embedded nodes. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V ±0.05 V - sets precise trip point for external resistive divider to monitor auxiliary supplies or preregulator inputs. |
| RESET Validity | Guaranteed down to VCC = 1 V - maintains valid logic level on RESET/RESET outputs during deep brownout, preventing metastability. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - supports industrial-grade deployment in automotive ECUs, PLCs, and field-deployed sensors. |
Pinout & Package
ADM708RAR is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm body, and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by beveled corner or dot; device is not pin-compatible with ADM706R due to NC placement and missing WDO/WDI functions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Debounced manual reset input | Internally pulled up with 70 µA; accepts TTL/CMOS logic or switch closure; initiates 200 ms reset pulse when pulled <0.6 V. |
| 2 VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V; requires 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to GND for noise immunity during reset assertion. |
| 3 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; must connect to system ground plane. |
| 4 PFI | Power-fail comparator input | Noninverting input referenced to 1.25 V; monitors external supply via resistor divider; tie to GND if unused. |
| 5 PFO | Power-fail comparator output | Active-low open-drain output; asserts low when PFI < 1.25 V; can drive MR or interrupt line directly. |
| 6 NC | No-connect terminal | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected on PCB; no routing or copper pour allowed. |
| 7 RESET | Active-low reset output | Push-pull driver; sinks 1.2 mA at VOL ≤ 0.3 V (VCC < 3.6 V); holds microprocessor in reset until VCC > 2.63 V + hysteresis. |
| 8 RESET | Active-high reset output | Complementary push-pull output; sources 500 µA at VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC; eliminates need for external inverter in legacy designs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-reset outputs | Simultaneous active-high (RESET) and active-low (RESET) signals eliminate external logic inversion and reduce BOM count. |
| 1 V reset validity | Ensures deterministic reset hold-down even as VCC collapses below 1.5 V - critical for fail-safe shutdown in battery-backed systems. |
| Debounced MR input | 200 ms internal timing eliminates mechanical switch bounce without external RC network or firmware polling. |
| 1.25 V PFI comparator | Enables precise, temperature-stable monitoring of secondary supplies (e.g., backup rail, sensor bias) using simple resistor dividers. |
| Industrial temp range | −40°C to +85°C operation validated across full voltage range - suitable for under-hood automotive, factory-floor, and outdoor IoT deployments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM706RAR | Includes watchdog timer (WDI/WDO), single active-low RESET output, identical 2.63 V threshold and SOIC-8 package. | Required where software hang detection is mandatory; unsuitable if board lacks WDI routing or needs active-high reset. | Select ADM706RAR only when watchdog functionality is required and dual-reset outputs are unnecessary. |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | TI part with 1.2 V threshold, adjustable reset delay, 2.5 µA quiescent current, SOT-23-6 package - no PFI/PFO or dual-reset capability. | Optimized for ultra-low-power wearables; lacks power-fail warning and complementary reset outputs needed for industrial control. | Choose TPS3808G12DBVR only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, single-rail battery apps where PFI and dual reset are irrelevant. |
Compared with ADM706RAR, ADM708RAR trades watchdog capability for dual-reset flexibility and simplified layout; versus TPS3808G12DBVR, it delivers industrial-grade PFI monitoring and deterministic 200 ms reset timing at higher quiescent current - making it optimal for mission-critical 3 V systems requiring fail-safe supervision.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the ADM708RAR?
The ADM708RAR has a precision reset threshold of 2.63 V, with a tolerance of ±0.08 V (2.55 V to 2.70 V). This value is factory-trimmed and remains stable over temperature and supply voltage variations, making it suitable for monitoring nominal 3 V rails with sufficient margin against noise and droop. The ADM708RAR uses the same 2.63 V threshold as the ADM706R and ADM706P variants but differs in output configuration and lack of watchdog functionality.
Does the ADM708RAR include a watchdog timer function?
No, the ADM708RAR does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the ADM706R series, it omits WDI (watchdog input) and WDO (watchdog output) pins - confirmed by its pinout (Pin 6 = NC) and functional block diagram. This simplifies design for applications where software hang detection is handled externally or is unnecessary, reducing routing complexity and eliminating potential watchdog timeout conflicts in deterministic real-time systems.
How does the ADM708RAR support bidirectional reset lines on microprocessors?
The ADM708RAR supports bidirectional reset lines by providing both active-high (RESET) and active-low (RESET) outputs simultaneously. This eliminates contention risk when interfacing with microprocessors that drive reset during normal operation. A 4.7 kΩ current-limiting resistor is recommended between either output and the MCU reset pin, per Analog Devices' Application Note. The dual outputs allow direct connection without external inverters or level shifters, preserving signal integrity and reducing component count.
Can the ADM708RAR monitor a second power supply?
Yes, the ADM708RAR can monitor a second supply using its PFI (power-fail input) and PFO (power-fail output) pins. By connecting an external resistive divider from the auxiliary supply to PFI, the internal 1.25 V comparator detects when that supply falls below the threshold. PFO can then assert low to trigger a system interrupt or be tied to MR to generate a hardware reset. This capability is explicitly documented in Figure 22 of the ADM708R datasheet and validated across the −40°C to +85°C range.
What package type is used for the ADM708RAR?
The ADM708RAR is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC_N (small outline integrated circuit, narrow body) package, designated R-8 per JEDEC MS-012-AA. It measures 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm with 1.27 mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and offers better thermal performance and smaller footprint than the PDIP variant (ADM708RANZ), making it ideal for compact industrial and portable electronics.
