DESCRIPTION
2.5µA, 1% Accurate
SOT-23 Comparator and Voltage
Reference for Battery Monitoring
The LTC
®
1998 is a micropower comparator and a precision
adjustable reference in a 6-pin SOT-23 package that is
optimized for lithium-ion low battery detection circuits.
The LTC1998 features a voltage detection circuit with an
adjustable threshold voltage and hysteresis. The threshold
voltage can be programmed from 2.5V to 3.25V with two
external resistors. A 10mV to 750mV hysteresis can be
added with a third external resistor.
A proprietary internal architecture maintains 1% thresh-
old voltage accuracy over temperature with low cost 1%
external resistors.
A separate power supply pin, V
LOGIC,
allows the battery-low
logic output to operate below the battery voltage, allowing
compatibility with low voltage microprocessors without a
pull-up resistor. Power supply glitches are eliminated by
preventing the cross-conducting current which occurs
when the output changes state.
The LTC1998 operates with battery or supply voltages
up to 5.5V and its battery-low output is valid for battery
voltages above 1.5V.
