GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM8611/ADM8616/ADM8617/ADM8618 are
supervisory circuits which monitor power supply voltage levels
and code execution integrity in microprocessor-based systems.
A power-on-reset signal is generated when the supply voltage
rises to a preset threshold level. The ADM8611’s debounced
manual reset input can be used to initiate a reset by means of an
external push-button or logic signal. The ADM8616–ADM8618
have an on-chip watchdog timer which can reset the
microprocessor if it fails to strobe within a preset timeout
period.

Each part is available in a choice of the following 9 reset
threshold options: 1.58V, 1.67V, 2.19V, 2.32V, 2.63V, 2.93V,
3.08V, 4.38V and 4.63V. The reset timeout periods are 20ms
(min) and 140ms (min) for the ADM8611 and ADM8616–
ADM8618, respectively. The watchdog timeout period is 1.6s
(typ). The parts differ in terms of reset output configuration, as
indicated in table 1.
The ADM8611/ADM8616/ADM8617/ADM8618 are available
in 4-lead SC70 packages and typically consume only 3µA,
making them suitable for use in low power portable
applications.
