The reference output can provide up to 1mA of output
current. The output is not buffered. Excessive loading
affects the accuracy of the thresholds. An external
capacitor is not required for stability and is stable for
capacitive loads up to 50pF. In applications where the
load or the supply can experience step changes, a
capacitor reduces the amount of overshoot (under-
shoot) and improves the circuit’s transient response.
Place the capacitor as close to the device as possible
for best performance.
Choosing the proper external resistors is a balance
between accuracy and power use. The input to the volt-
age monitor, while high impedance, draws a small cur-
rent, and that current travels through the resistive
divider, introducing error. If extremely high resistor val-
ues are used, this current introduces significant error.
With extremely low resistor values, the error becomes
negligible, but the resistive divider draws more power
from the battery than necessary, and shortens battery
life. See Figure 6 and calculate the optimum value for
R1 using:

are other sources of error for the battery threshold,
including resistor and input monitor tolerances.
To set the hysteresis, place a resistive divider from REF
to HADJ_ as shown in Figure 6. The resistive divider
sets voltage on HADJ_, which controls the falling thresh-
