MIC2779 Micrel, Inc. MIC2779
Voltage Monitor with Adjustable Hysteresis General Description Features 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 independently, allowing for wide hysteresis. Voltage detection
thresholds 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 downstream supply, such a boost converter. Supply current is
extremely low (1ВµA, typical), making it ideal for portable
applications.
A high-precision 1% grade is available. The MIC2779 is supplied in Micrel’s IttyBitty™ 5-pin SOT-23-5 package. Optimized for PDAs, cellular telephones, pagers,
and other battery-powered devices Independently adjustable high-and
