Product details
Overview
The MAX6430MRUS+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, factory-trimmed battery monitor IC for single Li+ or multi-cell alkaline/NiMH/NiCd systems, featuring two independent low-battery outputs (LBOH and LBOL), 140ms minimum timeout period, ±2.5% threshold accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, and 1µA typical supply current - used to enable low-power mode and system shutdown in portable medical devices and cordless phones.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6430MRUS+ datasheet, MAX6430MRUS+ pinout, MAX6430MRUS+ application, or MAX6430MRUS+ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated dual-threshold behavior, confirmed SOT143-4 package mapping, and real-world timing and interface constraints for battery-state decision logic in resource-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX6430MRUS+ implements two independent comparators with internal hysteresis and fixed factory-trimmed thresholds: VHTH−/VHTH+ (high-level trip) and VLTH−/VLTH+ (low-level trip), each with ~5% hysteresis. It uses BATT as both power source and monitored voltage, eliminating external reference or divider components.
Its dual open-drain LBOH/LBOL outputs assert active-low when BATT falls below VHTH− or VLTH− respectively, and deassert only after BATT rises above VHTH+ or VLTH+ and sustains that level for ≥140ms - ensuring stable recovery before resuming system operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports full discharge monitoring down to 1.0V battery voltage while maintaining valid LBO logic state. |
| Supply Current (typ) | 1µA - enables multi-year operation on coin-cell or small Li+ batteries without measurable impact on runtime. |
| LBO Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - prevents false re-enabling of power circuitry during transient voltage recovery after load removal. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% - guarantees consistent battery-state transitions across temperature and unit-to-unit variation. |
| Output Type | Open-drain LBOH & LBOL - allows pull-up to any voltage ≤5.5V, enabling direct interface with higher-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and portable consumer environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6430MRUS+ is housed in a 4-pin SOT143-4 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), lead-free, with gull-wing leads and exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - BATT | Battery voltage input & power supply | Monitored supply rail; powers internal circuitry and sets comparator reference - no external supply needed. |
| 2 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all internal comparators, timing logic, and output drivers; must be low-impedance. |
| 3 - LBOH | High-threshold low-battery output | Asserts low when BATT drops below factory-trimmed VHTH− (e.g., 2.7V); deasserts after ≥140ms above VHTH+ (e.g., 2.84V). |
| 4 - LBOL | Low-threshold low-battery output | Asserts low when BATT drops below factory-trimmed VLTH− (e.g., 2.0V); deasserts after ≥140ms above VLTH+ (e.g., 2.1V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed thresholds | Independent high- and low-battery trip points (e.g., 2.7V/2.84V and 2.0V/2.1V) eliminate need for external resistors or calibration. |
| 140ms minimum timeout | Guarantees output stability during battery voltage recovery, preventing chattering in power-control logic. |
| 1µA typical supply current | Enables continuous battery monitoring in always-on applications without compromising battery life. |
| Open-drain outputs | Supports flexible interfacing: LBOH/LBOL can be pulled up to 3.3V, 5V, or other system rails independent of BATT voltage. |
| Valid LBO state to 1.0V | Ensures reliable shutdown signaling even at end-of-discharge, critical for protecting Li+ cells from deep depletion. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Devices | Cordless Phones |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-level battery monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6431MRUS+ | Same SOT143-4 package and 1µA quiescent current, but LBOH is push-pull while LBOL remains open-drain - different drive capability and pull-up requirement. | Requires redesign of LBOH interface if system relies on open-drain wired-OR or level-shifting. | Select MAX6431MRUS+ only when push-pull LBOH simplifies MCU wake-up logic without external pull-up. |
| TLV7032IDGKR | Single-supply dual comparator (no built-in hysteresis or timeout), requires external RC network for delay and resistor dividers for thresholds - adds 4 passive components and layout area. | Suitable only where design flexibility outweighs BOM and footprint cost; lacks guaranteed 140ms debounce or 1.0V operation. | Choose TLV7032IDGKR only for custom hysteresis tuning or nonstandard trip points outside MAX6430MRUS+ factory options. |
Compared with MAX6431MRUS+, the MAX6430MRUS+ offers matched open-drain outputs ideal for shared bus signaling; versus TLV7032IDGKR, it delivers plug-and-play dual-threshold monitoring with zero external components and guaranteed timing behavior.

FAQ
What is the function of the two outputs (LBOH and LBOL) on the MAX6430MRUS+?
The MAX6430MRUS+ provides two independent low-battery outputs: LBOH asserts when battery voltage falls below the high-threshold (e.g., 2.7V), signaling "weak battery" for power-down preparation; LBOL asserts at the lower threshold (e.g., 2.0V), signaling "empty battery" for full system disable. Both outputs are open-drain and include 140ms minimum timeout to prevent chatter during recovery. This dual-signaling enables staged power management in the MAX6430MRUS+.
Does the MAX6430MRUS+ require external resistors or capacitors to operate?
No. The MAX6430MRUS+ is a factory-trimmed device with internal voltage references and comparators - it operates with only BATT, GND, and pull-up resistors on LBOH/LBOL outputs. No external timing capacitors, divider resistors, or reference components are needed. Its SOT143-4 footprint and zero-external-BOM design make the MAX6430MRUS+ ideal for miniaturized battery-powered systems.
What is the minimum battery voltage at which the MAX6430MRUS+ guarantees valid output logic?
The MAX6430MRUS+ guarantees valid LBOH and LBOL logic states down to BATT = 1.0V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This ensures reliable shutdown signaling even at end-of-discharge, protecting Li+ cells from damaging over-discharge - a key reliability feature built into the MAX6430MRUS+ architecture.
Can the MAX6430MRUS+ monitor a 3.7V Li+ cell across its full discharge curve?
Yes. The MAX6430MRUS+ operates from 1.0V to 5.5V and supports factory-trimmed thresholds spanning 1.6V–3.1V (low) and 2.3V–3.6V (high). For a 3.7V Li+ cell, variants like MAX6430EH (VHTH− = 2.8V, VLTH− = 2.1V) cover the critical 3.0V–2.5V range where capacity drops rapidly, enabling precise state-of-charge staging in the MAX6430MRUS+.
How does the 140ms timeout period improve system reliability in the MAX6430MRUS+?
The 140ms minimum timeout ensures LBOH and LBOL remain asserted until BATT stabilizes above their respective high thresholds - preventing premature re-enabling of power converters or MCUs during transient voltage recovery after load removal. This eliminates false wake-ups and erratic behavior, directly enhancing robustness in the MAX6430MRUS+'s target applications.
