Combination Low Battery Warning and Low
Battery Disconnect
When using rechargeable batteries in a system, it is
important to keep the batteries from being over discharged.
The circuit shown in Figure 14 provides a low battery
warning and also disconnects the low battery from the rest of
the system to prevent damage to the battery. The OUT1 is
used to shutdown the ICL7663S when the battery voltage
drops to the value where the load should be disconnected.
As long as V
SET1
is greater than 1.3V, OUT1 is low, but
when V
SET1
drops below 1.3V, OUT1 goes high shutting off
the ICL7663S. The OUT2 is used for low battery warning.
When V
SET2
is greater than 1.3V, OUT2 is high and the low
battery warning is on. When V
SET2
drops below 1.3V, OUT2
is low and the low battery warning goes off. The trip voltage
for low battery warning can be set higher than the trip
voltage for shutdown to give advance low battery warning
before the battery is disconnected.
Power Fail Warning and Power-up/Power-down
Reset
Figure 14 shows a power fail warning circuit with
power-up/power-down reset. When the unregulated DC
input is above the trip point, OUT1 is low. When the DC input
drops below the trip point, OUT1 shuts OFF and the power
fail warning goes high. The voltage on the input of the 7805
will continue to provide 5V out at 1A until V
IN
is less than
7.3V, this circuit will provide a certain amount of warning
before the 5V output begins to drop.
The ICL7665S OUT2 is used to prevent a microprocessor
from writing spurious data to a CMOS battery backup
memory by causing OUT2 to go low when the 7805 5V
output drops below the ICL7665S trip point.
