MIC2778
Voltage Monitor with Adjustable Hysteresis
General Description
Features
The MIC2778 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.
• Optimized for PDAs, cellular telephones, pagers,
and other battery-powered devices
• Independently adjustable high- and
low-voltage thresholds
• Internal logic prevents battery-voltage-fluctuation chatter
• High ±2% voltage threshold accuracy; 1% available
• Built in 140ms (minimum) delay deglitches output
• Extremely low 1µA typical supply current
• For applications not requiring built-in delay, see MIC841
• Immune to brief power supply transients
• 5-lead SOT-23 package
High- and low-voltage thresholds can be adjusted inde-
pendently, allowing for wide hysteresis. Voltage detection
thresholds are accurate to 2%.
If the battery voltage falls below the low-voltage threshold,
the output (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
not requiring built-in delay, see MIC841.
Applications
• PDAs
• Pagers
The IC’s power supply input is separate from the detector
inputs, allowing the MIC2778 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.
• Cordless phones
• Consumer electronics
• Embedded controllers
• Personal electronics
Ahigh-precision 1% grade is available. The MIC2778 is sup-
plied in Micrel’s IttyBitty™ 5-lead SOT-23-5 package.
