MIC2779
Voltage Monitor with Adjustable Hysteresis
Preliminary Information
General Description
The MIC2779 is a voltage monitor—uniquely designed to
detect two separate voltage thresholds—combined with a
delay generator and logic. It is designed for monitoring the
battery supply of portable digital systems, particularly PDAs,
pagers, and cellular telephones.
High- and low-voltage thresholds can be adjusted indepen-
dently, allowing for wide hysteresis. Voltage detection thresh-
olds are accurate to 2%.
If the battery voltage falls below the low-voltage threshold, the
output /RST or RST is asserted and latched, preventing
system operation until the battery is replaced or recharged.
Internal logic prevents the output from chattering due to
battery recovery or load removal. The output is asserted for
140ms (minimum) when a fresh battery is inserted. For
applications requiring open-drain output, see MIC2778/
MIC833.
The IC’s power supply input is separate from the detector
inputs, allowing the MIC2779 to be powered from a down-
stream supply, such a boost converter. Supply current is
extremely low (1µA, typical), making it ideal for portable
applications.
A high-precision 1% grade is available. The MIC2779 is
supplied in Micrel’s IttyBitty™ 5-lead SOT-23-5 package.
