Product details
Overview
LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a micropower comparator with integrated precision adjustable voltage reference in a 6-pin TSOT-23 package, designed specifically for lithium-ion single-cell low-battery detection. It delivers 1% threshold accuracy over temperature using 1% external resistors, 2.5µA typical quiescent current, rail-to-rail output swing, and guaranteed operation down to 1.5V battery voltage.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF pinout, LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF application, or LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include programmable 2.5V–3.25V trip voltage, 10mV–750mV user-adjustable hysteresis, independent VLOGIC supply for logic-level output compatibility, and guaranteed BATTLO state validity at VBATT ≥ 1.5V.
Technical Context
The LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF implements a proprietary internal architecture that maintains 1% threshold voltage accuracy across –40°C to 85°C by compensating resistor ratio drift, enabling stable low-battery detection without trimming. Its dual-resistor programming interface (VTH.A and VH.A) directly sets trip voltage (VBATT.Th = 2.5V + VTH.A/2) and hysteresis threshold (VTH2 = 2.5V + VH.A/2), with VH.A strictly required to exceed VTH.A to prevent oscillation.
The device features a CMOS push-pull output stage referenced to VLOGIC - not BATT - allowing BATTLO to drive microprocessor I/O rails as low as 1V while operating from batteries up to 5.5V. Propagation delay is 350µs (10mV overdrive) and 150µs (100mV overdrive), with input leakage <1nA on both adjust pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 2.5µA typical at VBATT = 3V - enables multi-year battery life in portable devices |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±1% max over –40°C to 85°C with 1% external resistors - eliminates need for calibration |
| Programmable Threshold | 2.5V to 3.25V via VTH.A pin - covers full Li-ion discharge range (3.0V–2.5V) |
| Hysteresis Range | 10mV to 750mV via VH.A pin - prevents chatter during load shedding recovery |
| Min Valid Battery Voltage | 1.5V - ensures reliable BATTLO state assertion even near end-of-life |
| VLOGIC Supply Range | 1V to VBATT - supports 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V microcontrollers without pull-up resistors |
| Output Type | Rail-to-rail CMOS push-pull - drives logic inputs directly, no external components needed |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm height, JEDEC MO-193 compliant, footprint compatible with SOT-23 but thinner and smaller.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT (Pin 1) | Battery voltage input and primary supply | Monitored voltage source; supplies internal circuitry; must connect directly to battery (+) via low-impedance trace |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog and power ground reference | Return path for BATT current and internal bias; isolate from high-current return paths |
| VTH.A (Pin 3) | Threshold adjust voltage input | Sets low-battery trip point: VBATT.Th = 2.5V + VTH.A/2; accepts 0–1.5V; <1nA leakage |
| VH.A (Pin 4) | Hysteresis adjust voltage input | Sets recovery threshold: VTH2 = 2.5V + VH.A/2; must be > VTH.A to avoid oscillation |
| VLOGIC (Pin 5) | Output driver supply rail | Defines BATTLO high-level voltage; can be ≤ VBATT (e.g., 1.8V) for direct MCU interface |
| BATTLO (Pin 6) | Active-low battery-low indicator output | CMOS push-pull; sinks 1mA @ 0.2V, sources 1mA @ VLOGIC–0.3V; valid for VBATT ≥ 1.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 1% threshold accuracy over temperature | Maintains ±1% trip voltage error from –40°C to 85°C using only 1% external resistors - reduces BOM cost and design complexity |
| Independent VLOGIC supply | Enables BATTLO to drive 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V logic directly without pull-up resistors or level shifters - simplifies PCB layout |
| Guaranteed operation at 1.5V battery | Ensures reliable low-battery assertion even when cell voltage drops below typical LDO dropout - extends usable battery capacity |
| Adjustable hysteresis (10–750mV) | Prevents output chatter during transient load recovery after battery-low event - avoids system instability during power management |
| 2.5µA quiescent current | Minimizes standby power draw - supports >10-year shelf life in coin-cell-powered devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power battery monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1440CMS8#PBF | Fixed 1.182V reference; no VLOGIC pin; S08 package; 1.1µA IQ | Requires external resistor divider for Li-ion scaling; output referenced to VCC, not separate logic rail | Lower IQ but lacks VLOGIC flexibility and programmable hysteresis - suitable only if fixed reference and simpler topology suffice |
| TLV7031DBVR | Fixed 1.24V reference; no hysteresis adjust; SOT-23-5; 650nA IQ; open-drain output | Requires external hysteresis network and pull-up; no independent logic supply - limits MCU interface options | Ultra-low IQ advantage offset by added external components and reduced integration - best for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications |
Compared with LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF, LTC1440CMS8#PBF offers lower quiescent current but requires external scaling and lacks VLOGIC-driven output compatibility, while TLV7031DBVR achieves nanoscale IQ at the expense of hysteresis programmability and rail-to-rail drive capability - making LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF the optimal choice for precision, low-battery detection with minimal external components and direct logic interfacing.

FAQ
What is the minimum battery voltage at which LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF guarantees correct BATTLO output state?
LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF guarantees valid BATTLO output state for battery voltages ≥1.5V. This is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables, ensuring reliable low-battery assertion even as the Li-ion cell approaches end-of-discharge, unlike many comparators that fail below 2.0V.
How does the VLOGIC pin affect the BATTLO output behavior in LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF?
The VLOGIC pin defines the high-level voltage of the BATTLO output in LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF. When VLOGIC is tied to 1.8V, BATTLO swings rail-to-rail between 0V and 1.8V - enabling direct interface with 1.8V microcontrollers without pull-up resistors. VLOGIC may be set as low as 1V or as high as VBATT, providing flexible logic-level compatibility.
Can LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF be used with a 1% resistor network to achieve ±1% threshold accuracy over temperature?
Yes. LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF is explicitly designed to deliver ≤1% threshold voltage error over –40°C to 85°C when used with 1% tolerance external resistors. This is enabled by its proprietary internal architecture that compensates for resistor temperature coefficient mismatches - eliminating the need for higher-precision (and costlier) resistors.
What is the maximum hysteresis voltage achievable with LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF, and under what condition?
The maximum hysteresis voltage for LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF is 750mV, achievable only when the low-battery threshold is set to its minimum value of 2.5V. As the programmed threshold increases (e.g., to 3.25V), the maximum allowable hysteresis decreases to 100mV - a constraint defined by the internal 2.5V reference and VH.A pin voltage range.
Does LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF require external components to function as a complete low-battery detector?
Yes - LTC1998CS6#TRMPBF requires at least two external resistors (R1, R2) to program the threshold voltage via VTH.A, and optionally a third (R3) for hysteresis via VH.A. No external reference or compensation capacitors are needed. The device integrates the precision reference, comparator, and hysteresis control - minimizing total solution size and component count.
