MIC2779
Voltage Monitor with Adjustable Hysteresis
General Description
The MIC2779 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 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 or 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
requiring open-drain output, see MIC2778/MIC833.
The IC’s power supply input is separate from the detector
inputs, allowing the MIC2779 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.
A high-precision 1% grade is available. The MIC2779 is sup-
plied in Micrel’s IttyBitty™ 5-pin SOT-23-5 package.

Functional Description
The MIC2779 monitors the voltage of a battery and detects
when it is discharged below a programmed level. Upon be-
ing replaced, or being recharged above a second higher
programmed trip point, the output remains low (MIC2779L)
or high (MIC2779H) for a minimum of 140ms and then sends
a reset signal to a microprocessor or other downstream
component. See “Timing Diagram.”
/RST, RST Low Output
The output is a push-pull logic signal which is asserted when
the MIC2779 detects a low input voltage. The MIC2779L’s
/RST output is active-low; the MIC2779H’s RST output is
active-high.
Trip Points
Battery voltage is monitored by a comparator via a voltage
divider network. The divided voltage is compared to an in-
ternal reference voltage. When the voltage at the LTH input
pin drops below the internal reference voltage, the output is
asserted. At this point, the voltage at HTH is assumed to be
below the reference voltage.
Delay
At power-on or when the battery is replaced or recharged,
and the voltage at HTH exceeds the reference voltage, the
output is deasserted after a minimum delay of 140ms.

Once R3 is determined, the equation for V
BAT(lo)
can be
used to determine R2. A single lithium-ion cell should not be
discharged below 2.5V. Many applications limit the drain to
3.1V. Using 3.1V for the V
BAT(lo)
threshold allows calculation
of the two remaining resistor values.
1MΩ
V
BAT(lo)
= 3.1V = 1.24
R2 + 344k
R2 = 56k Ω
R1 = 1MΩ − R2 − R3
R1 = 600k Ω
The accuracy of the resistors can be chosen based upon the
accuracy required by the system.
Input Transients
The MIC2779 is inherently immune to very short negative-
going “glitches.” Very brief transients may exceed the V
BAT(lo)
threshold without tripping the output.
As shown in Figure 2, the narrower the transient, the deeper
the threshold overdrive that will be ignored by the MIC2779.
The graph represents the typical allowable transient dura-
tion for a given amount of threshold overdrive that will not
generate a reset.

Applications Information
Programming the Thresholds
The low-voltage threshold is calculated using:
R1 + R2 + R3
V
BAT(lo)
= V
REF
R2 + R3
The high-voltage threshold is calculated using:
R1 + R2 + R3
V
BAT(hi)
= V
REF
R3
where, for both equations:
V
REF
= 1.240V
In order to provide the additional criteria needed to solve
for the resistor values, the resistors can be selected such
that they have a given total value, that is, R1 + R2 + R3 =
R
TOTAL
. A value such as 1MΩ for R
TOTAL
is a reasonable
value because it draws minimum battery current but has no
measurable effect on accuracy.
When working with large resistors, a small amount of leak-
age current can cause voltage offsets that degrade system
accuracy. The maximum recommended total resistance from
V
BAT
to ground is 3MΩ.

Once the desired trip points are determined, set the V
BAT(hi)
threshold first.
For example, use a total of 1MΩ = R1 + R2 + R3. For a typical
single-cell lithium ion battery, 3.6V is a good “high threshold”
because at 3.6V the battery is moderately charged. Solving
for R3:
