9.1.1 Power-OK and Low-Battery-Detect Functionality
LBO goes low in startup mode as well as during normal operation if:
- The voltage at the LBI pin is below LBI threshold (0.6V). This can be used to monitor the battery voltage.
- LBI pin is connected to GND and VOUT is below 92.5% of its nominal value. LBO works as a power-OK signal in this case.
The LBI pin can be connected to a resistive-divider to monitor a particular definable voltage and compare it with a 0.6V internal reference. If LBI
is connected to GND an internal resistive-divider is activated and connected to the output. Therefore, the Power-OK functionality can be realized
with no additional external components.
The Power-OK feature is not active during shutdown and provides a power-on-reset function that can operate down to VIN = 0.7V. A capacitor to
GND may be added to generate a power-on-reset delay. To obtain a logic-level output, connect a pull-up resistor R
3
from pin LBO to pin VOUT
.
Larger values for this resistor will help to minimize current consumption; a 100kΩ resistor is perfect for most applications (see Figure 13 on page
12).
For the circuit shown in the left of Figure 12, the input bias current into LBI is very low, permitting large-value resistor-divider networks while
maintaining accuracy. Place the resistor-divider network as close to the device as possible. Use a defined resistor for R
2 and then calculate R1
as:
