MIC2778
Voltage Monitor with Adjustable Hysteresis Preliminary Information
General Description
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. 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) 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.
