low-battery detector (TPS60120, TPS60122, TPS60124)
The internal low-battery comparator trips at 1.21 V ±5% when the voltage on LBI ramps down. The battery
voltage at which the comparator initiates a low battery warning at the LBO output can easily be programmed
with a resistive divider as shown in Figure 1. The sum of resistors R1 and R2 is recommended to be in the 100-kΩ
to 1-MΩ range.
LBO is an open drain output. An external pullup resistor to OUT, in the 100-kΩ to 1-MΩ range, is recommended.
During start-up, the LBO output signal is invalid for the first 500 µs. LBO is high impedance when the device
is disabled.
If the low-battery comparator function is not used, connect LBI to ground and leave LBO unconnected.

Using ±1% accurate resistors, the total accuracy of the trip voltage is about ±6%, considering the ±4% accuracy
the integrated voltage reference adds and considering that not every calculated resistor value is available.
