19-2947; Rev 1; 11/05 Low-Power, Adjustable Battery Monitors withHysteresis and Integrated µP ResetMAX6846–MAX6849General DescriptionFeatures The MAX6846–MAX6849 are a family of ultra-low-power ♦ User-Adjustable Thresholds for Monitoring battery monitors with integrated microprocessor (µP) Single-Cell Li+ or Multicell Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH supervisors. The user-adjustable battery monitors are Applications offered with single or dual low-battery output options that can be used to signal when the battery is OK (enabling ♦ Single and Dual Low-Battery Output Options full system operation), when the battery is low (for low- ♦ Independent µP Reset with Manual Reset power system operation), and when the battery is dead (to disable system operation). These devices also have ♦ Factory-Set Reset Thresholds for Monitoring 1.8V an independent µP supervisor that monitors VCC and to 3.3V Systems provides an active-low reset output. A manual reset ♦ Available with 150ms (min) or 1.2s (min) V function is available to reset the µP with a pushbutton. CCReset Timeout Period Options The MAX6846–MAX6849 are ideal for single-cell lithium- ion (Li+) or multicell alkaline/NiCd/NiMH applications. ♦ 150ms (min) LBO Timeout Period When the battery voltage drops below each adjusted low ♦ Immune to Short-Battery Voltage Transients threshold, the low-battery outputs are asserted to alert the system.
