TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Low-Battery Detect

Figure 9 shows how to use the LTC1540 for a low-battery

detect, drawing only 1.4µA at VBAT = 2V. The circuit is

powered by a 2-cell NiCd battery. The VBAT pin could be as

low as 1.6V when the batteries are completely depleted.

The electrical specifications of the LTC1540 guarantee

operation down to a supply voltage of 2V, but it is still

functional with the supply as low as 1.6V. Some param-

eters, such as VREF and VOS, will be degraded on lower

supply voltages. The input voltage range extends from

0.9V below the positive supply to the negative supply.
