The ADM706R, ADM706S, and ADM706T are identical except
for the reset threshold monitor levels, which are 2.63 V, 2.93 V, and

that the reset threshold is 2.63 V. It differs only in that it has an
active high reset output.
The ADM708R/ADM708S/ADM708T provide similar functionality as the ADM706R/ADM706S/ADM706T and only differ

WATCHDOG TIMER (ADM706x)
The watchdog timer circuit is used to monitor the activity of the
microprocessor to check that it is not stalled in an indefinite loop.
An output line on the processor is used to toggle the watchdog
input (WDI) line. If this line is not toggled within the timeout
period (1.6 seconds), the watchdog output (
WDO
The
output is connected to a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI)
on the processor. Therefore, if the watchdog timer times out, an
interrupt is generated. The interrupt service routine is used to
rectify the problem.
The watchdog timer is cleared either by a high-to-low or by a
low-to-high transition on WDI. Pulses as narrow as 50 ns are
detected. The timer is also cleared by RESET/
active. Therefore, the watchdog timeout period begins after
reset goes inactive.

The reset output provides a reset (RESET or
signal to the microprocessor whenever the V
the reset threshold. The actual reset threshold voltage is dependent
on whether a P, R, S, or T suffix device is used. An internal timer
holds the reset output active for 200 ms after the voltage on V
rises above the threshold. This is intended as a power-on reset
signal for the microprocessor. It allows time for both the power
supply and the microprocessor to stabilize after power-up. If a
power supply brownout or interruption occurs, the reset line is
similarly activated and remains active for 200 ms after the supply
recovers. If another interruption occurs during an active reset
period, the reset timeout period continues for an additional 200 ms.
The reset output is guaranteed to remain valid with V
as 1 V. This ensures that the microprocessor is held in a stable
shutdown condition as the power supply starts up.
The ADM706P provides an active high RESET signal; the
ADM706R/ADM706S/ADM706T provide an active low
signal; and the ADM708R/ADM706S/ADM706T provide both

The power-fail comparator is an independent comparator that
can be used to monitor the input power supply. The inverting
input of the comparator is internally connected to a 1.25 V
reference voltage. The noninverting input is available at the PFI
input. This input is used to monitor the input power supply via
a resistive divider network. When the voltage on the PFI input
drops below 1.25 V, the comparator output (
indicating a power failure. For early warning of power failure,
the comparator is used to monitor the preregulator input simply
by choosing an appropriate resistive divider network. The
output is used to interrupt the processor so that a shutdown
procedure is implemented before the power is lost.
For increased noise immunity, hysteresis can be added to the
power-fail comparator. Because the comparator circuit is
noninverting, hysteresis is added simply by connecting a resistor

A typical operating circuit is shown in Figure 20. The unregulated
dc input supply is monitored using the PFI input via the resistive
divider network. Resistor R1 and Resistor R2 are to be selected
so that when the supply voltage drops below the desired level
(for example, 5 V), the voltage on PFI drops below the 1.25 V
threshold, thereby generating an interrupt to the microprocessor.
Monitoring the preregulator input gives additional time to
execute an orderly shutdown procedure before power is lost.
