Product details
Overview
ADM708TAN from Analog Devices is a 3.08 V precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-lead PDIP package, providing dual active-high and active-low reset outputs, 200 ms reset pulse width, 100 µA quiescent current, and 1.25 V power-fail comparator for low-battery warning in battery-operated embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708TAN datasheet, ADM708TAN pinout, ADM708TAN application, or ADM708TAN equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-reset output capability, guaranteed RESET validity down to VCC = 1 V, absence of watchdog timer (distinguishing it from ADM706x series), and compatibility with 3 V/3.3 V supply monitoring in space-constrained industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The ADM708TAN implements a precision voltage monitor with fixed 3.08 V reset threshold and 20 mV hysteresis, enabling reliable brownout detection for 3 V systems. Its dual-reset architecture delivers both RESET (active low) and RESET (active high) simultaneously without external inversion logic.
It integrates a dedicated 1.25 V reference-based power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) for early-warning monitoring of auxiliary supplies or battery voltage decay, with PFO asserting low when PFI falls below 1.25 V - independent of VCC regulation status.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08 V ±0.08 V - precisely targets 3 V supply monitoring with margin against nominal 3.0 V rail sag during load transients. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms - ensures sufficient hold time for microprocessor power-up stabilization and internal state initialization. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA at VCC < 3.6 V - enables long-term operation in battery-powered instruments without significant drain. |
| Valid RESET Down to | VCC = 1 V - guarantees deterministic processor hold-down during deep brownout or battery depletion. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25 V - provides stable reference for resistive-divider-based battery voltage monitoring or secondary supply supervision. |
| Output Drive Strength | VOH ≥ 0.8×VCC / VOL ≤ 0.3 V @ 500 µA sink - supports direct interfacing with TTL/CMOS inputs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
ADM708TAN 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/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 MR | Manual Reset Input | Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible input; internally pulled up with 70 µA; triggers both RESET outputs when driven below 0.6 V. |
| 2 VCC | Power Supply Input | Primary supply connection for 3.15–5.5 V operation; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling to GND. |
| 3 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all analog and digital functions; 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 resistor divider; must be tied to GND if unused. |
| 5 PFO | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output signaling PFI < 1.25 V; drives interrupt or shutdown logic without external pull-up required. |
| 6 NC | No Connect | Internally unconnected pin; must remain floating - no routing or soldering permitted. |
| 7 RESET | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output asserted low for 200 ms on power-up, brownout, or MR assertion; valid down to VCC = 1 V. |
| 8 RESET | Active-High Reset Output | Inverted complement of pin 7; enables direct interface with processors requiring active-high reset assertion. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual active-high/low reset outputs | Eliminates need for external inverters in systems with mixed reset polarity requirements or bidirectional reset lines. |
| Guaranteed RESET operation at VCC = 1 V | Ensures fail-safe microprocessor hold-down during severe brownout or battery exhaustion, preventing undefined execution states. |
| 1.25 V precision power-fail comparator | Enables accurate low-battery warning or auxiliary supply monitoring using simple resistor dividers, independent of main VCC regulation. |
| 20 mV reset threshold hysteresis | Prevents oscillatory reset assertion during slow-rising/falling supply edges or noise-induced threshold crossings. |
| Internal 70 µA MR pull-up | Permits direct connection of momentary switches to MR without external biasing components, reducing BOM count and board area. |
Applications
| Industrial Controller Monitoring | Battery-Powered Instrumentation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM708SANZ | 2.93 V reset threshold; identical pinout, dual-reset, no watchdog | Suitable for 3.3 V systems with tighter supply tolerance; lower trip point increases noise margin but reduces brownout headroom | Select when monitoring 3.3 V rails where 2.93 V threshold better accommodates LDO dropout and PCB trace loss. |
| MAX708TESA+ | Pin-compatible Maxim replacement; 3.08 V threshold, dual reset, same PDIP-8 package | Same functional behavior but different internal ESD structure and thermal characteristics; validated for drop-in use in legacy designs | Choose for second-source assurance in production programs where Analog Devices supply continuity is constrained. |
Compared with ADM708TAN, ADM708SANZ offers higher noise immunity at 3.3 V but reduced brownout margin, while MAX708TESA+ provides identical electrical behavior with alternate manufacturing lineage - both require no PCB changes but differ in long-term reliability profiles under thermal cycling.

FAQ
What is the reset threshold voltage of the ADM708TAN and how is it used in system design?
The ADM708TAN has a precise 3.08 V reset threshold with ±0.08 V tolerance, optimized for monitoring 3 V supply rails. This value ensures reliable detection of brownout conditions while maintaining margin above typical 3 V LDO dropout voltages. In system design, it guarantees that the microprocessor remains held in reset until the supply stabilizes above 3.08 V, preventing erratic operation during power-up or transient sags. The ADM708TAN's 20 mV hysteresis further prevents chatter near the threshold.
Does the ADM708TAN include a watchdog timer function?
No, the ADM708TAN does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the ADM706x family, the ADM708TAN omits the WDI and WDO pins entirely - pin 6 is designated NC (no connect). Its functionality is focused exclusively on voltage monitoring, dual-reset generation, and power-fail detection via PFI/PFO. If watchdog supervision is required, the ADM706TAN (same threshold, same package) must be selected instead.
How does the ADM708TAN support bidirectional reset lines in microprocessors?
The ADM708TAN supports bidirectional reset lines through its dual complementary outputs: pin 7 (RESET, active low) and pin 8 (RESET, active high). When interfacing with processors like certain ARM or Renesas MCUs that drive reset bidirectionally, a 4.7 kΩ current-limiting resistor is placed between the ADM708TAN's RESET output and the MCU pin. This prevents contention while preserving reset assertion integrity - the ADM708TAN's push-pull drivers ensure clean transitions without external buffering.
What is the purpose of the PFI and PFO pins on the ADM708TAN?
The PFI (Power-Fail Input) and PFO (Power-Fail Output) pins implement an independent 1.25 V comparator for monitoring auxiliary supplies or battery voltage. PFI accepts a divided-down voltage from a secondary rail; when that voltage drops below 1.25 V, PFO asserts low within 500 ns (typ.) to trigger an interrupt or initiate controlled shutdown. In battery systems, this enables early low-battery warning - for example, with a 2.2:1 resistor divider, PFO activates at ~2.75 V battery voltage, well before critical cutoff.
Can the ADM708TAN operate reliably at very low supply voltages?
Yes, the ADM708TAN guarantees valid RESET output down to VCC = 1 V, verified across the full −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. This ensures the microprocessor remains held in a known reset state even during deep brownout or battery depletion. Below 1 V, internal transistor drive weakens; for applications requiring forced low-state below 1 V, a 10 kΩ external pull-down resistor on the RESET pin (pin 7) is recommended per Analog Devices' Figure 19.
