The low-battery comparator can also be used to moni-
tor the output voltage, as shown in Figure 5.
To set the low-battery threshold to a voltage below the
1.25V reference, insert a resistor divider between REF
and LBN, and connect the battery to the LBP input
through a 10kΩ current-limiting resistor (Figure 6). The
equation for setting the resistors for the low-battery
threshold is then as follows:
Alternatively, the low-battery comparator can be used
to check the output voltage or to control the load direct-
ly on POUT during start-up (Figure 7). Use the following
equation to set the resistor values:
where V
OUT,TH
is the desired output voltage trip point
and V
LBP
is connected to the reference or 1.25V.
Reference
The MAX1705/MAX1706 have an internal 1.250V, 1%
bandgap reference. Connect a 0.33µF bypass capaci-
tor to GND within 0.2in. (5mm) of the REF pin. REF can
source up to 50µA of external load current.
_________________ Design Procedure
Setting the Output Voltages
Set the step-up converter output voltage between 2.5V
and 5.5V by connecting a resistor voltage-divider to FB
from OUT to GND, as shown in Figure 8. The resistor
values are then as follows:
where V
FB
, the step-up regulator feedback setpoint, is
1.233V. Since the input bias current into FB is less than
50nA, R2 can have a large value (such as 270kΩ or
less) without sacrificing accuracy. Connect the resistor
voltage-divider as close to the IC as possible, within
0.2in. (5mm) of the FB pin.
Alternatively, set the step-up converter output to track
the linear regulator by 300mV. To accomplish this, set
TRACK to OUT.
