Selecting the Output Voltage
V
OUT
can be set to 3.3V or 5.0V by connecting the FB
pin to GND (5V) or OUT (3.3V) (Figures 5 and 6).
To adjust the output voltage, connect a resistor-divider
from V
OUT
to FB to GND (Figure 7). Choose a value
less than 260kΩ for R6. Use the following equation to
calculate R5:
R5 = R6 [(V
OUT
/ V
REF
) - 1]
where V
REF
= +1.3V and V
OUT
may range from 2V to
5V. The input bias current of FB has a maximum value
of 50nA which allows large-value resistors (R6 ≤ 260kΩ)
to be used.
Low-Battery Detection
The MAX1674/MAX1675/MAX1676 contain an on-chip
comparator for low-battery detection. If the voltage at
LBI falls below the internal reference voltage (1.30V),
LBO (an open-drain output) sinks current to GND. The
low-battery monitor threshold is set by two resistors, R3
and R4 (Figures 5, 6, and 7). Since the LBI current is
less than 50nA, large resistor values (R4 ≤ 260kΩ) can
be used to minimize loading of the input supply.
Calculate R3 using the following equation:
R3 = R4 [(V
TRIP
/ V
REF
) - 1]
for V
TRIP
≥ 1.3V. V
TRIP
is the level where the low-battery
detector output goes low, and V
REF
is the internal
1.30V reference. Connect a pull-up resistor of 100kΩ or
greater from LBO to OUT when driving CMOS circuits.
LBO is an open-drain output, and can be pulled as
high as 6V regardless of the voltage at OUT. When LBI
is above the threshold, the LBO output is high imped-
ance. If the low-battery comparator is not used, ground
