Product details
Overview
The MAX6430ORUS-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, factory-trimmed battery monitor IC for single Li+ or multi-cell alkaline/NiMH/NiCd power supplies. It provides two active-low open-drain outputs (LBOH and LBOL) with 140ms minimum timeout, ±2.5% threshold accuracy, and 1µA typical supply current. It is used to enable low-power mode (LBOH asserted) and system shutdown (LBOL asserted) in portable medical devices and cordless phones.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6430ORUS-T datasheet, MAX6430ORUS-T pinout, MAX6430ORUS-T application, or MAX6430ORUS-T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-threshold hysteresis behavior, SOT143-4 package compatibility, guaranteed LBO logic state down to 1.0V BATT, and immunity to short battery transients.
Technical Context
The MAX6430ORUS-T implements two independent comparators with internal hysteresis and a 140ms timeout timer to prevent chatter during battery recovery. Its factory-trimmed thresholds-VHTH− (2.9V), VHTH+ (3.045V), VLTH− (2.7V), and VLTH+ (2.835V)-are fixed at production and require no external components.
It operates from 1.0V to 5.5V BATT supply, delivers push-pull or open-drain output logic options, and guarantees valid LBO states down to BATT = 1.0V. The device uses BiCMOS process technology and integrates 905 transistors for ultra-low quiescent current operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current | 1µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications. |
| Operating Voltage Range | 1.0V to 5.5V - supports full discharge monitoring of single Li+ cells and 2–3-cell alkaline/NiMH packs. |
| LBO Timeout Period | 140ms minimum - ensures stable voltage before re-enabling microprocessor or DC/DC converter activity. |
| Threshold Accuracy | ±2.5% - guarantees precise battery-state transitions without calibration or trimming. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain (LBOH/LBOL) - allows level-shifting up to 5.5V and direct interface with higher-voltage logic. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - fully specified for industrial and portable consumer environments. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX6430ORUS-T is housed in a 4-pin SOT143-4 package (3.0mm × 1.7mm × 1.3mm), lead-free, RoHS-compliant, and tape-and-reel packaged.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | BATT | Battery voltage input and primary power supply - monitors voltage directly and powers internal circuitry. |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground plane for accurate threshold sensing. |
| 3 | LBOH | Active-low open-drain "weak battery" output - asserts when BATT falls below 2.9V and deasserts after ≥140ms above 3.045V. |
| 4 | LBOL | Active-low open-drain "empty battery" output - asserts when BATT falls below 2.7V and deasserts after ≥140ms above 2.835V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed thresholds | 2.9V/3.045V (LBOH) and 2.7V/2.835V (LBOL) - eliminates external resistors and calibration effort. |
| 140ms minimum timeout | Prevents false wake-up or reset during transient dips - critical for reliable low-power state management. |
| Guaranteed LBO logic to 1.0V BATT | Ensures deterministic shutdown signaling even near end-of-life battery voltage. |
| Immunity to short voltage transients | Rejects <100µs spikes - avoids spurious low-battery assertions during load switching or RF events. |
| No external components required | Reduces BOM count, PCB area, and design validation time for cost-sensitive portable systems. |
Applications
| Portable Medical Devices | Cordless Phones |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-level battery monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6431ORUS-T | Same SOT143-4 package and 2.9V/2.7V thresholds, but features active-low push-pull LBOH/LBOL instead of open-drain. | Requires no external pull-up resistors; better suited for direct MCU GPIO interface without level-shifting. | Select MAX6431ORUS-T when driving 3.3V logic directly and minimizing external components beyond pull-ups. |
| TLV809E29DBZR | Single-output, 2.93V reset IC with 200ms timeout; no dual-threshold or LBOL functionality. | Only supports basic "low battery" warning-not staged response or shutdown sequencing. | Choose TLV809E29DBZR only for simple undervoltage detection where dual-state signaling is unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX6430ORUS-T, MAX6431ORUS-T offers identical threshold behavior but different output drive architecture, while TLV809E29DBZR lacks LBOL functionality entirely-making it unsuitable for applications requiring coordinated low-power mode entry and safe shutdown.

FAQ
What is the exact factory-trimmed threshold voltage set for MAX6430ORUS-T?
The MAX6430ORUS-T is configured with VHTH− = 2.9V, VHTH+ = 3.045V, VLTH− = 2.7V, and VLTH+ = 2.835V. These values are laser-trimmed at wafer test and documented in Maxim's Standard Versions Table under "OR" suffix. The MAX6430ORUS-T does not support user adjustment - all thresholds are fixed and verified across −40°C to +85°C.
Does MAX6430ORUS-T require external resistors or capacitors to operate?
No. The MAX6430ORUS-T requires no external components: its dual thresholds, hysteresis, and 140ms timeout are fully integrated. Only BATT, GND, and two pull-up resistors (for open-drain LBOH/LBOL) are needed. This simplifies layout, reduces BOM cost, and eliminates resistor tolerance errors that affect accuracy in adjustable alternatives.
Can MAX6430ORUS-T operate reliably when battery voltage drops to 1.0V?
Yes. The MAX6430ORUS-T guarantees valid logic states on LBOH and LBOL outputs down to BATT = 1.0V - a key specification enabling fail-safe shutdown signaling even at end-of-discharge. This behavior is validated across temperature and process corners, unlike many comparators that lose output drive capability below 1.5V.
What is the purpose of the 140ms timeout period in MAX6430ORUS-T?
The 140ms timeout ensures the battery voltage has stabilized after rising above the high threshold before deasserting LBOH or LBOL. This prevents chattering during battery recovery after load removal - a common cause of premature wake-up or unstable power sequencing in DC/DC converter or microprocessor systems using the MAX6430ORUS-T.
How does MAX6430ORUS-T differ from MAX6430DHUS-T?
The MAX6430ORUS-T and MAX6430DHUS-T share the same SOT143-4 package and dual-output open-drain architecture, but differ in factory-trimmed thresholds: OR specifies 2.9V/2.7V, while DH specifies 2.6V/2.3V. Both are drop-in replacements electrically and mechanically - only the trip points differ. Selection depends strictly on target battery chemistry and system voltage margins.
