Product details
Overview
ADM708RARZ from Analog Devices is a 3 V microprocessor supervisory circuit with dual active-high and 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-on and brownout reset assertion.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708RARZ datasheet, ADM708RARZ pinout, ADM708RARZ application, or ADM708RARZ equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, SOIC-8 package mapping, reset timing behavior, PFI/PFO interface details, and validated alternative options for 3 V system supervision without watchdog functionality.
Technical Context
The ADM708RARZ implements dual-reset logic (RESET and RESET) driven by a precision 2.63 V voltage monitor with 20 mV hysteresis and guaranteed validity down to VCC = 1 V. Its internal power-fail comparator uses a fixed 1.25 V reference on the PFI input to generate early-warning PFO assertions.
No watchdog timer is present - unlike ADM706R variants - making ADM708RARZ suitable for systems requiring deterministic reset control without activity monitoring. The MR input is debounced internally and pulls up with 70 µA, supporting direct TTL/CMOS or mechanical switch interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63 V ±70 mV - sets precise power-on/brownout detection point for 3 V rails |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - ensures microprocessor stabilization after power recovery |
| Supply Current | 100 µA typical at VCC < 3.6 V - enables long battery life in portable instruments |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V ±50 mV - enables configurable power-fail warning using external resistor divider |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports operation across 3 V and 3.3 V supply domains |
| Reset Output Drive | VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC / VOL ≤ 0.3 V at ISINK = 500 µA - compatible with standard CMOS inputs |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded environments |
Pinout & Package
ADM708RARZ is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm body dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible input; pulled high internally with 70 µA; asserts reset when < 0.6 V |
| 2 (VCC) | Power Supply Input | Primary supply rail connection; requires 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to GND |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common 0 V reference for all analog and digital functions |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input to 1.25 V comparator; monitors auxiliary supply via resistive divider |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Open-drain output asserting low when PFI < 1.25 V; used for early shutdown signaling |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per datasheet |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output asserted low for 200 ms during power-up, brownout, or MR activation |
| 8 (RESET) | Active-High Reset Output | Inverted complement of pin 7; provides simultaneous compatibility with bidirectional or active-high reset microprocessors |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual active-high and active-low reset outputs | Eliminates need for external inverters in systems with mixed reset polarity requirements |
| Guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1 V | Ensures processor remains held in reset during full power collapse and recovery |
| 1.25 V precision power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) | Enables configurable early-warning detection of secondary supply failure or battery depletion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX708RCSA+ | Same 2.63 V reset threshold, 200 ms timeout, dual reset outputs, but uses 100 µA max quiescent current vs. ADM708RARZ's 100 µA typical; no PFI hysteresis option | Compatible in pinout and function for 3 V systems; lacks integrated PFI hysteresis network support | Select MAX708RCSA+ only if sourcing from Maxim Integrated is preferred and PFI noise immunity is managed externally |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single active-low reset output, 3.3 V threshold (not 2.63 V), 200 ms delay, 1.6 µA quiescent current - significantly lower power but different voltage trip point | Suitable for 3.3 V-only systems where ultra-low power dominates over dual-reset flexibility | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only when redesign accommodates single-reset polarity and higher threshold; not drop-in |
Compared with MAX708RCSA+, ADM708RARZ offers superior PFI hysteresis configurability and tighter reset threshold tolerance; compared with TPS3808G33DBVR, ADM708RARZ provides dual-reset capability and precise 2.63 V trip essential for legacy 3 V microcontroller compatibility.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the ADM708RARZ?
The ADM708RARZ has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.63 V, with a specified tolerance of ±70 mV. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It is designed to reliably detect brownout conditions on 3 V supply rails, and the ADM708RARZ maintains valid reset assertion even as VCC drops to 1 V.
Does the ADM708RARZ include a watchdog timer function?
No, the ADM708RARZ does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the ADM706R series, the ADM708RARZ omits the WDI and WDO pins entirely - pin 6 is designated NC (No Connect), and the functional block diagram confirms absence of watchdog circuitry. Its role is strictly voltage monitoring, manual reset, and power-fail warning.
How are the two reset outputs (RESET and RESET) used in practice?
The ADM708RARZ provides both active-low (pin 7) and active-high (pin 8) reset outputs simultaneously. This allows direct interface with microprocessors that require either polarity - for example, connecting RESET to an ARM core and RESET to a companion FPGA or peripheral ASIC. Per datasheet Figure 23, a 4.7 kΩ current-limiting resistor is recommended when driving bidirectional reset pins to prevent contention.
What is the purpose of the PFI and PFO pins on the ADM708RARZ?
The PFI (Power-Fail Input) pin connects to a resistor divider monitoring an auxiliary supply or battery voltage; when PFI falls below 1.25 V, the PFO (Power-Fail Output) pin asserts low. This provides early warning of impending power loss, enabling the host microprocessor to execute controlled shutdown, save state, or trigger alarms - independent of the main VCC reset function.
Is the ADM708RARZ pin-compatible with other ADM708 variants like ADM708SARZ or ADM708TARZ?
Yes, all ADM708xARZ variants share identical SOIC_N (R-8) pinout and package dimensions. They differ only in reset threshold voltage: ADM708RARZ = 2.63 V, ADM708SARZ = 2.93 V, ADM708TARZ = 3.08 V. Functionally, all provide dual reset outputs and PFI/PFO - making them direct replacements when board-level voltage tolerance permits.
