Product details
Overview
ADM708TAR-REEL from Analog Devices is a 3.08 V precision microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-lead SOIC 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 3 V embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the ADM708TAR-REEL datasheet, ADM708TAR-REEL pinout, ADM708TAR-REEL application, or ADM708TAR-REEL equivalent, this page delivers verified reset threshold (3.08 V), dual-reset output polarity, PFI/PFO monitoring capability, MR debouncing, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) - all critical for reliable microcontroller power-up sequencing and brownout recovery.
Technical Context
The ADM708TAR-REEL implements a precision voltage monitor with fixed 3.08 V reset threshold and 20 mV hysteresis, ensuring stable reset assertion during 3 V supply ramp-up and brownout. Its dual-reset architecture (RESET and RESET) supports bidirectional microprocessor reset lines without contention.
It integrates a dedicated 1.25 V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) for early-warning detection of supply collapse or battery depletion, and features a debounced manual reset input (MR) with 70 µA internal pull-up - eliminating external RC networks while maintaining TTL/CMOS compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 3.08 V ±0.08 V - precisely triggers reset when 3 V supply drops below operational minimum, enabling robust brownout protection. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 200 ms typical - guarantees sufficient hold time for microprocessor initialization and clock stabilization after power-up or recovery. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA at VCC < 3.6 V - enables long-term operation in battery-powered instruments without significant drain. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | 1.25 V ±0.05 V - allows accurate monitoring of auxiliary supplies or battery voltage via resistive divider on PFI pin. |
| Operating Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control, portable instrumentation, and automotive body electronics. |
| VCC Validity Limit | 1 V minimum - ensures RESET remains asserted down to near-dead-battery conditions, preventing undefined MCU state. |
| Output Drive Strength | VOH = 0.8×VCC / VOL = 0.3 V @ ISINK = 500 µA - directly interfaces with 3 V logic families without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
ADM708TAR-REEL is housed in an 8-lead narrow SOIC (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, with 1.27 mm pitch, 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm body, and gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (MR) | Manual Reset Input | Debounced TTL/CMOS-compatible input; internally pulled up with 70 µA; asserts reset when driven below 0.6 V. |
| 2 (VCC) | Power Supply Input | Primary 3 V–5.5 V supply rail; requires 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor to GND for noise immunity. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common 0 V reference for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 4 (PFI) | Power-Fail Input | Noninverting input to 1.25 V comparator; monitors auxiliary supply/battery via external resistor divider. |
| 5 (PFO) | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output signaling PFI < 1.25 V; used for NMI or system shutdown initiation. |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected and floating - no routing or termination permitted. |
| 7 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull output asserted low for 200 ms during power-up, brownout, or MR activation; 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-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 supply collapses fully - prevents erratic behavior during battery depletion. |
| Integrated Power-Fail Comparator | 1.25 V reference with PFI/PFO pins enables early warning of supply decay without adding discrete comparators. |
| Debounced Manual Reset | Internal 200 ms timing eliminates external RC filter components and switch bounce issues in pushbutton reset circuits. |
| Industrial Temperature Rating | −40°C to +85°C operation supports deployment in harsh environments including factory automation and outdoor instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX708TESA+ | 3.08 V reset threshold, same dual-reset outputs and PFI/PFO, but higher quiescent current (120 µA typ) and no guaranteed reset below 1 V. | Lacks sub-1 V reset validity - unsuitable for deep battery discharge scenarios requiring fail-safe hold-down. | Select ADM708TAR-REEL where extended low-VCC reset assertion is mandatory for safety-critical shutdown. |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3 V reset threshold (±0.5%), single active-low reset, no PFI/PFO, 1.8 µA quiescent current, but includes watchdog timer. | Missing power-fail comparator and dual-reset outputs - requires additional components for equivalent functionality. | Choose ADM708TAR-REEL when PFI-based early warning and bidirectional reset support are required without added BOM cost. |
Compared with MAX708TESA+ and TPS3808G33DBVR, ADM708TAR-REEL uniquely combines 3.08 V precision monitoring, dual-reset polarity, integrated 1.25 V power-fail detection, and guaranteed 1 V reset validity - making it optimal for 3 V industrial and portable systems demanding comprehensive supply supervision without design compromises.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the ADM708TAR-REEL?
The ADM708TAR-REEL has a nominal reset threshold of 3.08 V, with a guaranteed range of 3.00 V to 3.15 V at TA = −40°C to +85°C. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in Table 1 of the Rev. E datasheet under "Reset Threshold (VRST)" for ADM706T/ADM708T variants. It is optimized for 3 V supply monitoring and provides 20 mV hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow-rising or noisy rails.
Does the ADM708TAR-REEL include a watchdog timer function?
No, the ADM708TAR-REEL does not include a watchdog timer. Unlike the ADM706x family, the ADM708R/S/T series replaces the WDI/WDO watchdog circuitry with a second reset output (RESET). Pin 6 is designated NC (No Connect), and functional block diagrams confirm absence of watchdog logic. For watchdog capability, engineers must select ADM706TAR-REEL or add external supervision.
How does the ADM708TAR-REEL handle power-fail detection?
The ADM708TAR-REEL uses an internal 1.25 V reference connected to the noninverting input of a comparator, with the PFI pin serving as the inverting input. When voltage at PFI falls below 1.25 V - typically set via external resistor divider from a monitored supply - the PFO output goes low. This enables early-warning interrupts for battery depletion or pre-regulator failure, and PFO can drive MR to trigger system reset if needed.
Can the ADM708TAR-REEL operate with supply voltages below 3 V?
Yes, the ADM708TAR-REEL operates with VCC from 3.15 V to 5.5 V per datasheet specifications, but its RESET outputs remain valid down to VCC = 1 V. While the device does not *function* (i.e., monitor or assert reset) below 3.15 V, the reset outputs stay asserted low (RESET) or high (RESET) until VCC reaches ~1 V, ensuring safe MCU hold-down during final battery collapse - a key differentiator versus competitors.
What package type and lead count does the ADM708TAR-REEL use?
The ADM708TAR-REEL uses an 8-lead narrow-body SOIC package (JEDEC MS-012-AA, Analog Devices R-8 option), with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm body dimensions, and gull-wing surface-mount leads. The "-REEL" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT assembly, and the part is RoHS-compliant and Pb-free.
