Low-Power, Adjustable Battery Monitors with
Hysteresis and Integrated µP Reset
General Description
The MAX6846–MAX6849 are a family of ultra-low-power
battery monitors with integrated microprocessor (µP)
supervisors. The user-adjustable battery monitors are
offered with single or dual low-battery output options that
can be used to signal when the battery is OK (enabling
full system operation), when the battery is low (for low-
power system operation), and when the battery is dead
(to disable system operation). These devices also have
an independent µP supervisor that monitors V
CC
and
provides an active-low reset output. A manual reset
function is available to reset the µP with a pushbutton.
The MAX6846–MAX6849 are ideal for single-cell lithium-
ion (Li+) or multicell alkaline/NiCd/NiMH applications.
When the battery voltage drops below each adjusted low
threshold, the low-battery outputs are asserted to alert
the system. When the voltage rises above the adjusted
high thresholds, the outputs are deasserted after a
150ms minimum timeout period, ensuring the voltages
have stabilized before power circuitry is activated or pro-
viding microprocessor reset timing.
These devices have user-adjustable battery threshold
voltages, providing a wide hysteresis range to prevent
chattering that can result due to battery recovery after
load removal. Single low-battery outputs are supplied
by the MAX6846/MAX6847 and dual low-battery out-
puts are supplied by the MAX6848/MAX6849. All bat-
tery monitors have open-drain low-battery outputs.
The MAX6846–MAX6849 monitor system voltages
(V
CC
) from 1.8V to 3.3V with seven fixed reset threshold
options. Each device is offered with two minimum reset
timeout periods of 150ms or 1200ms. The MAX6846/
MAX6848 are offered with an open-drain
RESET
output
and the MAX6847/MAX6849 are offered with a push-
pull
RESET
output.
The MAX6846–MAX6849 are offered in a SOT23 pack-
age and are fully specified over a -40°C to +85°C temp-
erature range.

Note:
The first “_” is the V
CC
reset threshold level, suffix found
in Table 1. The “_” after the D is a placeholder for the reset
timeout period suffix found in Table 2. All devices are available
in tape-and-reel only. There is a 2500 piece minimum order
increment for standard versions (see Standard Versions table).
Sample stock is typically held on standard versions only. Non-
standard versions require a minimum order increment of
10,000 pieces. Contact factory for availability.
Devices are available in both leaded and lead-free packaging.
Specify lead-free by replacing “-T” with “+T” when ordering.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
Production testing done at T
A
= +25°C; limits over temperature guaranteed by design only.
Note 2:
The device is powered up by the highest voltage between V
DD
and V
CC
.
Note 3:
MR
input ignores falling input pulses, which occur within the
MR
debounce period (t
DEB
) after a valid
MR
reset assertion.
This prevents invalid reset assertion due to switch bounce.
