The ADM706TARZ-REEL is an IC component manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It is a supervisory circuit with watchdog timer functionality. Here are some key features and an overview of this component:
1. Overview: The ADM706TARZ-REEL is a supervisory circuit designed to monitor the power supply voltage of a microprocessor or other electronic devices. It provides a reset output whenever the power supply voltage drops below a specified level or whenever the watchdog timer exceeds a programmed time period.
2. Watchdog Timer Functionality: This IC component includes a watchdog timer feature that ensures the system remains operational in case of unexpected software or hardware failures. The watchdog timer requires a periodic input (active high) to prevent the reset output from being activated. If this input signal is not received within the programmed time period, the reset output is activated, resetting the system and restoring normal operation.
3. Voltage Monitoring: The ADM706TARZ-REEL continuously monitors the power supply voltage to ensure it remains within the desired range. It features an adjustable undervoltage threshold, allowing the user to set the voltage level at which the reset output is activated. This ensures that the system is reset whenever the power supply voltage drops below the specified threshold, preventing it from operating in an unreliable or hazardous state
