Product details
Overview
ADM708SANZ from Analog Devices is a 3 V microprocessor supervisory circuit with dual active-high and active-low reset outputs, 2.93 V reset threshold, 200 ms reset pulse width, 100 µA quiescent current, and integrated power-fail comparator (1.25 V threshold) for battery warning or auxiliary supply monitoring in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708SANZ datasheet, ADM708SANZ pinout, ADM708SANZ application, or ADM708SANZ equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-reset polarity support, guaranteed RESET validity down to 1 V VCC, debounced manual reset input, PDIP-8 package compatibility, and absence of watchdog timer-making it suitable for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 3 V microcontroller systems requiring deterministic reset behavior without watchdog supervision.
Technical Context
The ADM708SANZ implements a precision voltage monitor with fixed 2.93 V reset threshold and hysteresis of 20 mV, ensuring stable reset assertion during brownout recovery. 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 interfaces.
It integrates a dedicated 1.25 V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO), enabling early-warning detection of supply droop or low-battery conditions independent of VCC monitoring. Unlike the ADM706x series, it omits the watchdog timer circuit, simplifying timing-critical designs where software-level supervision is handled externally or not required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93 V ±0.08 V - precisely triggers reset when 3 V supply drops below safe operating level for microcontrollers. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - ensures sufficient hold time for full microprocessor power-up stabilization after VCC rise. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA at VCC < 3.6 V - enables long battery life in portable instrumentation and remote sensors. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25 V ±0.05 V - supports accurate low-battery warning or secondary supply monitoring via resistive divider on PFI. |
| VCC Validity Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - guarantees functional RESET output even during deep brownout, preventing premature release. |
| Output Drive Strength | VOH = 0.8×VCC / VOL = 0.3 V @ 500 µA sink - directly interfaces TTL/CMOS logic without pull-up/pull-down dependencies. |
Pinout & Package
ADM708SANZ is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body plastic dual in-line package (PDIP, N-8), compliant with JEDEC MS-001, with 0.300-inch body width and 0.100-inch lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are straight and through-hole mountable.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Debounced Manual Reset Input | Internally pulled up with 70 µA; accepts TTL/CMOS levels; initiates 200 ms reset pulse when driven below 0.6 V. |
| 2 VCC | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 1.0–5.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling to GND for noise immunity during reset transitions. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all internal circuits and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 4 PFI | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input to 1.25 V comparator; monitors auxiliary supply or battery voltage via external resistor divider. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output signaling PFI < 1.25 V; can drive interrupt line or be tied to MR for automatic shutdown reset. |
| 6 NC | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per datasheet; no electrical function or internal connection. |
| 7 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output asserted low for 200 ms during power-up/brownout; remains valid down to VCC = 1 V. |
| 8 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Inverted complement of pin 7; enables direct interface to processors requiring active-high reset assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-Polarity Reset Outputs | Simultaneous RESET (active low) and RESET (active high) eliminate need for external inverters in mixed-logic systems. |
| Guaranteed Reset Below 1 V VCC | Ensures microprocessor remains held in reset until power fully collapses, preventing erratic operation during undervoltage decay. |
| Integrated Power-Fail Comparator | 1.25 V reference enables precise low-battery detection or auxiliary rail monitoring without external components. |
| Debounced Manual Reset Input | 70 µA internal pull-up and 200 ms timeout prevent false resets from switch bounce or transient noise on MR line. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in harsh environments including industrial controllers and automotive ECUs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM708SARZ | Same 2.93 V threshold, dual-reset outputs, and PFI/PFO functionality; differs only in SOIC-8 (R-8) package instead of PDIP-8 (N-8). | Suitable for surface-mount production; requires PCB redesign for footprint and reflow profile vs. through-hole ADM708SANZ. | Select ADM708SARZ for automated assembly; retain ADM708SANZ for prototyping, repair, or legacy through-hole designs. |
| MAX708SCSA+ | Pin-compatible 8-pin SOIC alternative with identical 2.93 V threshold and dual-reset outputs; lacks guaranteed RESET validity below 1.2 V VCC. | Acceptable where brownout depth is shallow; unsuitable for ultra-low-VCC hold requirements like battery cutoff at 1.0 V. | Choose MAX708SCSA+ only if board layout and thermal constraints favor Maxim's package; verify VCC collapse behavior matches system safety margin. |
Compared with ADM708SARZ and MAX708SCSA+, ADM708SANZ uniquely combines PDIP-8 manufacturability, guaranteed 1 V reset validity, and dual-output flexibility-making it optimal for industrial control prototypes and field-serviceable equipment where mechanical robustness and deep brownout resilience are critical.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the ADM708SANZ?
The ADM708SANZ has a nominal reset threshold voltage of 2.93 V, with a tolerance of ±0.08 V (2.85 V to 3.00 V). This value is factory-trimmed and specified over the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). The threshold is used to detect brownout conditions on the 3 V supply rail, and the device asserts both RESET and RESET outputs when VCC falls below this level. The ADM708SANZ does not support adjustable thresholds - it is a fixed 2.93 V variant within the ADM708 family.
Does the ADM708SANZ include a watchdog timer function?
No, the ADM708SANZ does not include a watchdog timer. It is explicitly differentiated from the ADM706x series by the omission of the WDI (watchdog input) and WDO (watchdog output) pins and associated circuitry. Instead, ADM708SANZ provides dual-reset outputs (RESET and RESET) and a dedicated power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO). This makes ADM708SANZ appropriate for applications where software-level supervision is handled externally or where deterministic reset timing without watchdog dependency is preferred.
What package type is used for the ADM708SANZ?
The ADM708SANZ uses an 8-lead narrow-body plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), designated N-8 per JEDEC MS-001. It features a 0.300-inch body width, 0.100-inch lead pitch, and through-hole mounting. This package is distinct from the SOIC-8 (R-8) variant ADM708SARZ. The "ANZ" suffix in ADM708SANZ explicitly denotes the PDIP-8 package with industrial temperature grade (−40°C to +85°C).
How does the power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) operate in the ADM708SANZ?
The ADM708SANZ power-fail comparator compares the voltage at the PFI pin against an internal 1.25 V reference. When PFI falls below 1.25 V, the open-drain PFO output pulls low, signaling a power-fail or low-battery condition. PFI is intended to be driven by a resistor divider from an auxiliary supply or battery. If unused, PFI must be connected to GND. The comparator operates independently of the main VCC monitor and supports hysteresis addition via external feedback resistor between PFO and PFI for improved noise immunity.
Can the ADM708SANZ generate a valid reset signal when VCC drops below 1.2 V?
Yes, the ADM708SANZ guarantees valid RESET and RESET output states down to VCC = 1.0 V, as confirmed in the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Performance Characteristics. This ensures the microprocessor remains held in reset during deep brownout or battery depletion scenarios. Below 1.0 V, internal drive capability degrades; for applications requiring continued low-VCC assertion, an external pull-down resistor on RESET is recommended per Figure 19 in the datasheet.
