The LTC1998 features a voltage detection circuit with an
adjustablethresholdvoltageandhysteresis.Thethreshold
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.

LOGIC,
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.
