Product details
Overview
ADM8692ARN from Analog Devices is a microprocessor supervisory circuit providing power-on/brownout reset, battery backup switchover, watchdog timer, and power-fail detection in 5 V systems. It asserts active-low RESET down to VCC = 1 V, delivers up to 100 mA at VOUT with 0.7 Ω on-resistance, and features a 1.6 sec fixed watchdog timeout. It is used in industrial controllers and embedded systems requiring reliable power sequencing and data retention during supply interruption.
For engineers reviewing the ADM8692ARN datasheet, ADM8692ARN pinout, ADM8692ARN application, or ADM8692ARN equivalent, key selection considerations include its guaranteed 4.65 V ±40 mV reset threshold, 50 ms reset pulse width, 0.7 mW typical power consumption, 400 nA standby current, and TSSOP-16 package compatibility with legacy ADM8691/ADM8695 designs.
Technical Context
The ADM8692ARN implements a precision bandgap-based voltage monitor for 4.65 V reset assertion with 40 mV hysteresis, ensuring stable reset release across temperature. Its internal PMOS battery switchover switch operates with 70 mV switchover threshold and 20 mV hysteresis, enabling seamless transition between VCC and VBATT without oscillation.
A dedicated 1.6 sec watchdog timer monitors WDI transitions; if un-toggled beyond timeout, it triggers a 50 ms RESET pulse. The device integrates a 1.3 V power-fail comparator (PFI/PFO) and supports direct CE gating with 3 ns propagation delay-critical for protecting CMOS RAM during brownout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reset Threshold | 4.65 V ±0.13 V - guarantees reliable reset assertion for 5 V ±5% supplies. |
| Reset Pulse Width | 50 ms typ - provides sufficient stabilization time for microprocessors post-power-up. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.6 sec fixed - detects firmware hangs without requiring external timing components. |
| VOUT Drive Capability | 100 mA max at ≤0.2 V dropout - powers CMOS RAM directly without external pass transistor. |
| Battery Switchover Threshold | 70 mV (rising), 50 mV (falling) - ensures clean, hysteresis-stabilized VCC/VBATT handoff. |
| Supply Current | 0.7 mW typ at 5 V - enables low-power operation in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Standby Current | 400 nA - minimizes battery drain during extended backup mode. |
Pinout & Package
ADM8692ARN is housed in a 16-lead TSSOP package (4.4 mm × 5.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), compatible with surface-mount assembly and reflow processes. Pin assignments match the ADM8691/ADM8695 family per Figure 4 of Rev. C datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VBATT (Pin 1) | Backup Battery Input | Accepts 2.0–4.25 V battery; internally selected over VCC when VCC drops below VBATT − 70 mV. |
| VOUT (Pin 2) | Switched Output | Delivers VCC or VBATT (whichever higher) to RAM; supports 100 mA load with <0.2 V dropout. |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Main Supply Input | 5 V nominal input; powers internal circuitry and serves as primary source for VOUT. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Common 0 V reference for all analog and digital functions; must be low-impedance. |
| PFI (Pin 9) | Power-Fail Input | Non-inverting comparator input; triggers PFO low when voltage falls below 1.3 V. |
| PFO (Pin 10) | Power-Fail Output | Active-low open-drain output signaling imminent supply loss; used for early data save. |
| WDI (Pin 11) | Watchdog Input | Three-level input (high/mid/low); reset triggered if no transition occurs within 1.6 sec. |
| RESET (Pin 15) | Reset Output | Active-low CMOS output; held low for 50 ms after VCC rises above 4.65 V or WDI timeout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low power supervision | 0.7 mW typical supply power enables use in energy-constrained embedded systems. |
| Sub-1 V reset operation | RESET remains functional down to VCC = 1 V - ensures controlled shutdown even during deep brownout. |
| Integrated battery switchover | Automatic, hysteresis-stabilized switching between VCC and VBATT eliminates need for external diodes or MOSFETs. |
| Fast CE gating | 3 ns propagation delay on CEIN→CEOUT path prevents spurious writes to RAM during supply transients. |
| Dedicated power-fail warning | 1.3 V PFI threshold with <1 µs response time allows >100 µs advance warning before VCC collapse. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Controller | Medical Data Logger |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Maintains real-time clock and configuration memory during AC mains interruption or brownout events lasting seconds to minutes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Supervisory IC providing reset hold, battery-backed RAM power, and early power-fail interrupt via PFO.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Watchdog supervisor detecting firmware lockup and initiating controlled reboot; also manages backup power to volatile memory. Use Value: 1.6 sec watchdog timeout aligns with automotive boot sequence timing; 400 nA standby current extends coin-cell life to >10 years. |
Use Scenario: Protects transaction logs and encryption keys stored in CMOS RAM during brief AC outage or battery swap. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Voltage monitor asserting RESET at 4.65 V and enabling automatic switchover to backup battery before VCC drops below 4.5 V. Use Value: 0.7 Ω VOUT switch resistance limits voltage drop to <70 mV at 100 mA - preserving RAM data integrity under full load. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADM8691ARN | Same 16-pin TSSOP package, identical pinout, but offers adjustable reset timeout (50 ms/ADJ) and dual watchdog periods (100 ms/1.6 sec). | Requires software configuration of OSC SEL/OSC IN pins; not drop-in for fixed-timing designs. | Select ADM8691ARN only if design requires programmable watchdog or reset timing flexibility. |
| MAX691CPD+ | 8-pin PDIP/SOIC package; lacks CE gating, PFO, and battery switchover; reset threshold 4.65 V, 200 ms pulse width. | Cannot support RAM write protection or power-fail warning; limited to basic reset-only applications. | Choose MAX691CPD+ only for space-constrained, cost-sensitive designs where advanced features are unused. |
Compared with ADM8692ARN, ADM8691ARN adds configurability at the cost of timing determinism, while MAX691CPD+ reduces feature set and package footprint but forfeits battery management and early warning capability - making ADM8692ARN optimal for integrated, battery-backed microcontroller systems requiring fixed, proven timing behavior.

FAQ
What is the reset voltage threshold tolerance for ADM8692ARN?
The ADM8692ARN has a nominal reset voltage threshold of 4.65 V, with a guaranteed range of 4.50 V to 4.73 V across temperature and supply conditions. This ±0.13 V tolerance ensures compatibility with standard 5 V ±5% power supplies and provides 40 mV of built-in hysteresis to prevent chatter during slow VCC transitions. The specification is fully characterized per Table 2 in the Rev. C datasheet.
Does ADM8692ARN support battery backup for CMOS RAM?
Yes, ADM8692ARN supports automatic battery backup switching for CMOS RAM. When VCC drops below VBATT minus 70 mV, it seamlessly connects VBATT to VOUT with 7 Ω on-resistance, sustaining RAM operation down to 2.0 V battery voltage. The device draws only 400 nA in battery-backup mode, enabling multi-year coin-cell life. VOUT delivers up to 100 mA with <0.2 V dropout at full load.
Can ADM8692ARN be used with a 3.3 V microprocessor system?
No, ADM8692ARN is specified exclusively for 5 V nominal systems. Its reset threshold is fixed at 4.65 V, and VCC operating range is 4.75 V to 5.5 V. It does not support 3.3 V logic levels or supervision. For 3.3 V systems, consider Analog Devices' ADM6315 or ADM809 families, which offer matching functionality with 3.08 V or 3.06 V thresholds and compatible TSSOP packaging.
What is the function of the PFI and PFO pins on ADM8692ARN?
The PFI (Pin 9) is a 1.3 V precision comparator input used to monitor auxiliary voltages - such as a secondary rail or battery level - and assert PFO (Pin 10) low when PFI falls below threshold. PFO is an open-drain output that can trigger MCU interrupts for early data save. Response time is <1 µs, and input bias current is ±0.01 nA, enabling high-impedance sensing without loading external circuits.
Is ADM8692ARN pin-compatible with ADM8691ARN?
Yes, ADM8692ARN is fully pin-compatible with ADM8691ARN in the 16-lead TSSOP package. Both share identical pin numbering, electrical characteristics, and functional block diagram (Figure 2). However, ADM8692ARN fixes the reset timeout at 50 ms and watchdog at 1.6 sec, whereas ADM8691ARN supports adjustable timing via OSC SEL/OSC IN - so firmware and external component choices must match the selected variant.
