PIN NAME
LBST
DESCRIPTION
Logic input used to activate low battery detection circuitry. This includes activating high
boost mode. Input is designed to interface with circuitry supplied by Vreg, so input voltage
levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. Input is disabled during brown-out.
Internally connected to the low battery comparator input used to sense the Vdd voltage
divider. The internal reference to which this node is compared is nominally 0.9V. Nominal
internal resistance to Vdd is 400kohm. Nominal resistance to Vss is 240kohm. The
resistance to Vss is changed to a nominal of 220kohm once a low battery condition is
detected. External resistances can be added in parallel to adjust the low battery threshold
voltage.
Connect to the positive supply voltage
Logic input used to enable the LED driver. Input is designed to interface with circuitry
supplied by Vreg, so input voltage levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. LED driver is
disabled during brown-out.
Open drain NMOS output used to drive a visible LED.
Open drain NMOS output used to drive the boost converter inductor. The inductor should
be connected from this pin to the positive supply through a low resistance path.
Internally connected to the source of the NMOS device used to drive the boost converter
inductor. Connect to the negative supply voltage through a low resistance path.
Connect to the negative supply voltage.
Logic input used to set the Vreg output voltage level. This input should always be tied to
either Vdd or Vss.
Regulated output voltage. Nominal output is 3.3V for REGSEL=Vdd and 3.0V for
REGSEL=Vss.
Boosted voltage produced by DC-DC converter, typically 4V or 10V.
This pin is connected to the metal electrode (B) of a piezoelectric transducer.
HS is a complementary output to HB and connects to the ceramic electrode (S) of the
piezoelectric transducer.
Logic input for horn enable designed to interface with circuitry supplied by Vreg. Input
voltage levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. Horn is disabled during brown-out.
Usually connected to the feedback electrode of the piezoelectric horn through a current
limiting resistor. If not used, this pin must be connected to Vss.
Logic output used to signal a low battery condition. Output pulls to Vreg when LBST is
high and a low battery condition is detected.

Notes on Electrical Characteristics:
1/ DC-DC converter in high boost mode (nominal VO=10V) can draw current pulses of greater than 1 Amp and is therefore very sensitive to
series resistance. Critical components of this resistance are the inductor DC resistance, the internal resistance of the battery and the
resistance in the connections from the inductor to the battery, from the inductor to the LX pin and from the Vss2 pin to the battery. In order to
function properly under full load at Vdd=2V, the total of the inductor and interconnect resistances should not exceed 0.3 ohm. The internal
battery resistance should be no more than 0.5 ohm and a low ESR capacitor of 10uF or more should be connected in parallel with the battery
to average current draw over the boost converter cycle.
2/ In the Electrical Characteristics Table, wherever a specific VO value is listed under test conditions, the VO is forced externally with the
inductor disconnected and the DC-DC converter is NOT running.
3/ The brown-out threshold voltage is the VO voltage at which the regulator and horn will be disabled. At VO voltages below the brown-out
threshold Vreg will be pulled to Vss.
4/ In normal operation, the regulator will provide high-side current of up to 20mA, but current sinking capability is typically under 1uA. The
overvoltage clamp is intended to limit the voltage at Vreg when it is pulled up by an external source.
5/ The limits shown are 100% tested at 25C only. Test limits are guard-banded based on temperature characterization to guarantee
compliance at temperature extremes.
