Product details
Overview
ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 from Analog Devices is a low-voltage supervisory circuit with integrated watchdog timer in a 4-lead SC70 package, designed to monitor VCC supply voltage and ensure microprocessor code execution integrity. It features a 2.93 V reset threshold, 140 ms reset timeout, 1.6 s watchdog timeout, push-pull active-low RESET output, and guaranteed operation down to VCC = 1 V - used in portable microprocessor systems requiring reliable power-on reset and brownout protection.
For engineers reviewing the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 datasheet, ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 pinout, ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 application, or ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reset threshold accuracy (±13 mV at 2.93 V), watchdog timeout stability over temperature (±15% variation), push-pull drive capability (1.2 mA sink at 2.7 V), glitch immunity against sub-8 µs transients, and SC70 footprint compatibility for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 implements a precision bandgap-based voltage reference (40 ppm/°C tempco) feeding a comparator that triggers RESET when VCC falls below 2.93 V. Its internal watchdog timer clears on any WDI logic transition (min. 50 ns pulse width) and asserts RESET if no transition occurs within 1.6 s.
RESET assertion is synchronized to VCC monitoring and watchdog events, with fixed 140 ms minimum active duration after VCC recovery or watchdog timeout. The push-pull output ensures defined high/low states without external pull-up, supporting direct interface to microprocessor RESET inputs across 1.0–5.5 V VCC range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 2.93 V ±13 mV - sets precise undervoltage detection point for 3.3 V rail supervision |
| Reset Timeout | 140 ms min - guarantees sufficient hold time for processor initialization after power stabilization |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 s typ - enables robust software hang detection without excessive false resets |
| Supply Current | 5 µA typ at 3.6 V - enables battery-powered operation for >10-year shelf life in portable devices |
| RESET Output Type | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pull-up resistor, reduces BOM count |
| VCC Operating Range | 1.0 V to 5.5 V - supports valid RESET assertion during deep brownout down to 1 V |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin-ambient environments |
Pinout & Package
ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 is housed in a 4-lead SC70 (KS-4) package measuring 2.20 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (GND) | Ground Reference | Return path for internal comparators and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane |
| 2 (RESET) | Active-Low Reset Output | Push-pull driver asserts logic low during undervoltage or watchdog timeout; drives microprocessor RESET input directly |
| 3 (WDI) | Watchdog Input | Edge-sensitive input; toggling clears watchdog timer; floating disables watchdog function |
| 4 (VCC) | Supply Voltage Input | Monitored rail input; powers internal circuitry and defines reset threshold reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glitch Immunity | Rejects transients ≤8 µs at 100 mV below 2.93 V threshold - prevents spurious resets from EMI or switching noise |
| VCC = 1 V RESET Validity | Guaranteed logic-low RESET output even as supply collapses to 1 V - ensures fail-safe behavior during deep brownout |
| Low Power Consumption | 5 µA typical quiescent current - extends battery life in always-on portable instrumentation |
| WDI Pulse Detection | Recognizes 50 ns minimum WDI transitions - accommodates fast microcontroller GPIO toggle rates |
| Reset Threshold Hysteresis | 2 × VTH (≈5.86 mV) - prevents oscillation near threshold during slow VCC ramp-up/down |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar supervisory circuit applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6326UT29D3+T | 2.93 V reset threshold, 140 ms timeout, open-drain RESET, no watchdog | Lacks watchdog functionality; requires external timer or MCU software implementation | Select when watchdog is unnecessary and open-drain flexibility is preferred |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | 3.3 V reset threshold, 200 ms timeout, no watchdog, 1.8–6 V VCC range | Higher reset threshold unsuitable for 3.3 V rail margin; no hardware watchdog | Select only if system operates at nominal 3.3 V with tight tolerance and watchdog handled externally |
Compared with MAX6326UT29D3+T and TPS3808G33DBVR, the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 uniquely integrates both precise 2.93 V supervision and a configurable 1.6 s watchdog in SC70, eliminating external timing components while ensuring fail-safe recovery in resource-constrained embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact reset threshold voltage of the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7?
The ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 has a nominal reset threshold of 2.93 V, with a guaranteed range of 2.85 V to 3.00 V at 25°C and ±13 mV tolerance over temperature. This value is factory-trimmed and specified in Table 1 of the Rev. C datasheet under the "ADM861xS" option, matching the 'S' suffix in the part number.
Does the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 require an external pull-up resistor on the RESET pin?
No, the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 does not require an external pull-up resistor because it features a push-pull active-low RESET output. The internal driver actively pulls low during assertion and drives high (to ≥0.8 × VCC) when deasserted, enabling direct connection to microprocessor RESET inputs without additional components.
How is the watchdog timeout configured on the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7?
The watchdog timeout on the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 is fixed at 1.6 s (typical) and determined by the 'Y' suffix in the part number per the ordering guide. It cannot be adjusted externally; the timer clears on any WDI logic transition (min. 50 ns) and asserts RESET if no transition occurs within this period.
Can the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 operate reliably at VCC = 1.2 V?
Yes, the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 guarantees valid RESET output operation down to VCC = 1.0 V, including full push-pull drive strength (0.3 V VOL at 100 µA sink) and accurate 2.93 V threshold sensing. At 1.2 V, all specifications remain functional per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
What package type and marking code does the ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 use?
The ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 uses a 4-lead SC70 package (Analog Devices package code KS-4), with physical dimensions of 2.20 mm × 1.35 mm × 0.95 mm. Its top-side marking code is 'N0F', as confirmed in the Ordering Guide for ADM8616SCYAKSZ-RL7 and related standard models.
