QUICK DESIGN GUIDE
How to Calculate the External Resistor Values
The LTC1998 is a low battery warning indicator and is es-
pecially designed for monitoring the voltage of single-cell
Lithium-Ion batteries. The LTC1998 compares its supply
pin (BATT) to an accurate internal reference; if the battery
voltage falls below the programmed low battery threshold
voltage of the LTC1998, the battery low pin (BATTLO) will
change state, from high to low, to indicate a low battery
condition. The low battery threshold voltage is programmed
via the voltage threshold adjust pin (V
adjust pin (V
value of the low battery threshold voltage.

Example 1: A system using a 4.2V (fully charged) Lithium-
Ion battery requires a low battery threshold of 2.7V, 100mV
