Product details
Overview
ADM708RARZ-REEL 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/brownout reset and early low-supply warning.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708RARZ-REEL datasheet, ADM708RARZ-REEL pinout, ADM708RARZ-REEL application, or ADM708RARZ-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-reset polarity support, guaranteed RESET validity down to 1 V VCC, debounced manual reset input, and compatibility with 3 V/3.3 V systems requiring fail-safe microprocessor supervision without watchdog functionality.
Technical Context
The ADM708RARZ-REEL implements a precision voltage monitor with fixed 2.63 V reset threshold and hysteresis of 20 mV, enabling stable detection of 3 V supply brownouts. Its dual-reset architecture provides simultaneous active-high (RESET) and active-low (RESET) outputs, eliminating need for external inverters in bidirectional or mixed-logic reset systems.
It integrates a dedicated 1.25 V power-fail comparator with PFI/PFO interface for early warning of supply decay, and features a debounced MR input with 70 µA internal pull-up - all operating with quiescent current ≤100 µA at VCC < 3.6 V and valid reset assertion down to VCC = 1 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.63 V ±70 mV - precisely monitors 3 V supplies for brownout and ensures reset assertion before logic corruption occurs. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - provides sufficient hold time for microprocessor power-up stabilization and firmware initialization. |
| Supply Current | 100 µA max at VCC < 3.6 V - enables long battery life in portable and low-power embedded systems. |
| PFI Threshold | 1.25 V ±50 mV - supports configurable early power-fail detection using external resistor divider on monitored rail. |
| Valid RESET Down to | VCC = 1 V - guarantees controlled shutdown even during deep undervoltage conditions. |
| MR Input Pull-Up | 70 µA typical - allows direct connection of mechanical switches without external biasing components. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in harsh environmental conditions. |
Pinout & Package
ADM708RARZ-REEL 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 notch or dot; device is not pin-compatible with ADM706-series due to NC placement and dual-reset output configuration.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible input; asserted low (<0.6 V) triggers both RESET and RESET outputs for system-initiated reset. |
| 2 (VCC) | Power Supply Input | Primary supply rail (2.7–5.5 V); requires local 0.1 µF decoupling to GND for noise immunity and timing stability. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for all internal circuits and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input to 1.25 V comparator; monitors auxiliary supply via resistive divider for predictive shutdown signaling. |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output indicating PFI < 1.25 V; can drive interrupt lines or be tied to MR for automatic reset on supply decay. |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no external connection permitted. |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output asserted low for 200 ms after VCC rise above 2.63 V or MR assertion; sinks up to 1.2 mA at 0.3 V. |
| 8 (RESET) | Active-High Reset Output | Complementary push-pull output asserted high for 200 ms under same trigger conditions; sources up to 500 µA at 0.8×VCC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-Polarity Reset Outputs | Simultaneous RESET (active low) and RESET (active high) eliminate need for external level-shifting or inversion in mixed-logic systems. |
| Guaranteed Reset Below 1 V VCC | Ensures deterministic microprocessor hold state during deep undervoltage events, preventing undefined behavior or latch-up. |
| Debounced Manual Reset Input | 70 µA internal pull-up and 200 ms timeout suppress switch bounce, removing requirement for RC filters or firmware debouncing. |
| Configurable Power-Fail Detection | 1.25 V PFI threshold with PFO output enables user-defined early-warning thresholds for any supply rail using two-resistor scaling. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in automotive ECUs, industrial PLCs, and outdoor telemetry equipment. |

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 threshold, dual-reset outputs, and PFI/PFO; higher quiescent current (120 µA typ), no 1 V reset guarantee. | Lacks guaranteed RESET validity below 1.2 V VCC - unsuitable for ultra-low-voltage brownout hold requirements. | Select MAX708RCSA+ only if legacy footprint compatibility with Maxim designs is required and sub-1.2 V operation is not needed. |
| TPS3808G12DBVR | Adjustable reset threshold (via external resistor), single active-low reset, no PFI/PFO, lower IQ (1.5 µA), but no dual-output or power-fail comparator. | Cannot replace ADM708RARZ-REEL in systems requiring simultaneous active-high/low reset or predictive power-fail signaling. | Choose TPS3808G12DBVR only for cost-sensitive, low-IQ applications where dual reset and PFI are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX708RCSA+, ADM708RARZ-REEL offers superior undervoltage robustness (1 V vs. 1.2 V reset validity); compared with TPS3808G12DBVR, it delivers integrated dual-reset polarity and power-fail warning - critical for fault-tolerant embedded control where coordinated reset and early shutdown are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the ADM708RARZ-REEL?
The ADM708RARZ-REEL has a fixed reset threshold of 2.63 V, with ±70 mV tolerance over temperature and supply. This value is factory-trimmed and applies to both RESET and RESET outputs. It is optimized for reliable supervision of nominal 3 V power rails, ensuring reset assertion before logic-level violations occur during brownout conditions. The ADM708RARZ-REEL does not support adjustable thresholds.
Does the ADM708RARZ-REEL include a watchdog timer function?
No, the ADM708RARZ-REEL does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the ADM706-series, it omits the WDI and WDO pins entirely - confirmed by its pinout (Pin 6 = NC) and functional block diagram. Its role is strictly voltage monitoring and reset generation. Systems requiring watchdog supervision must use a separate timer IC or select an ADM706 variant instead of the ADM708RARZ-REEL.
How does the ADM708RARZ-REEL handle power-fail detection?
The ADM708RARZ-REEL uses a dedicated 1.25 V comparator with PFI (Pin 4) and PFO (Pin 5) to enable user-configurable power-fail detection. By connecting a resistive divider from a monitored supply to PFI, designers set a custom trip point - e.g., 5 V supply fails when PFI falls below 1.25 V. PFO asserts low to signal the event and can drive an interrupt or be tied to MR for automatic reset. No external reference or op amp is needed.
Can the ADM708RARZ-REEL operate with supply voltages below 3 V?
Yes, the ADM708RARZ-REEL operates from VCC = 2.7 V to 5.5 V per datasheet specifications, and its RESET outputs remain valid down to VCC = 1 V - a key differentiator. This ensures the microprocessor stays held in reset during deep undervoltage transients. However, the 2.63 V reset threshold means reliable brownout detection begins only when VCC rises above ~2.55 V, consistent with its specified hysteresis window.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the ADM708RARZ-REEL?
Pin 6 on the ADM708RARZ-REEL is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unconnected. It must remain floating - no external component or trace should connect to this pin. This distinguishes the ADM708RARZ-REEL from the ADM706-series, which uses Pin 6 for WDI. The NC pin reflects the absence of watchdog functionality and confirms the device's simplified supervisory role focused solely on reset and power-fail monitoring.
