General Description

The MAX6775–MAX6781 low-power, 1%-accurate bat-

tery monitors are available in the ultra-small µDFN

package (1.0mm x 1.5mm) and SC70 packages. These

low-power devices are ideal for monitoring single lithi-

um-ion (Li+) cells, or multicell alkaline/NiCd/NiMH

power sources. These devices offer single (MAX6775/

MAX6776/MAX6777/MAX6778) or dual (MAX6779/

MAX6780/MAX6781) low-battery outputs and feature

fixed or resistor-adjustable hysteresis. Hysteresis elimi-

nates the output chatter sometimes associated with bat-

tery voltage monitors, usually due to input-voltage noise

or battery terminal voltage recovery after load removal.

These devices are available in several versions: with

single- or dual-voltage monitors, and with fixed or

adjustable hysteresis. The MAX6775/MAX6776 offer a

single battery monitor and factory-set hysteresis of

0.5%, 5%, or 10%. The MAX6779/MAX6780/MAX6781

have two battery monitors in a single package and fac-

tory-set hysteresis of 0.5%, 5%, or 10%. The MAX6777/

MAX6778 offer a single battery monitor with external

inputs for the rising and falling thresholds, allowing

external hysteresis control.

For convenient interface with system power circuitry or

microprocessors, both open-drain and push-pull out-

puts are available. The single-channel devices are

available with open-drain or push-pull outputs. The

dual-channel devices are available with both outputs

open-drain, both outputs push-pull, or one of each

(see the Selector Guide). This family of devices is

offered in small 5-pin SC70 and ultra-small 6-pin µDFN

packages, and is fully specified over the -40°C to

+85°C extended temperature range.
