adjustable reference in a 6-pin SOT-23 package that is
optimized for lithium-ion low battery detection circuits.
The LTC1998 features a voltage detection circuit with an
adjustable threshold voltage and hysteresis. The threshold
voltage can be programmed from 2.5V to 3.25V with two
external resistors. A 10mV to 750mV hysteresis can be
added with a third external resistor.
A proprietary internal architecture maintains 1% thresh-
old voltage accuracy over temperature with low cost 1%
external resistors.
A separate power supply pin, V
LOGIC,
allows the battery-low
logic output to operate below the battery voltage, allowing
compatibility with low voltage microprocessors without a
pull-up resistor. Power supply glitches are eliminated by
preventing the cross-conducting current which occurs
when the output changes state.
The LTC1998 operates with battery or supply voltages
up to 5.5V and its battery-low output is valid for battery
voltages above 1.5V.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Maximum allowable hysteresis depends on desired trip voltages.
See application notes for details.
Note 3:
LTC1998C and LTC1998I are guaranteed functional over the
operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 4:
The LTC1998C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC1998C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA
