Note: The first two “_ _” are placeholders for the battery monitor voltage levels. Desired threshold levels are set by the part
number suffix found in Tables 1 and 2. The third “_” is the VCC
reset threshold level suffix found in Table 3. The “_” after the D
is a placeholder for the reset timeout period suffix found in
Table 4. All devices are available in tape-and-reel only. There
is a 2500-piece minimum order increment for standard versions. Sample stock is typically held on standard versions only.
Nonstandard versions require a minimum order increment of
10,000 pieces. Contact factory for availability.

MAX6439–MAX6442
General Description
The MAX6439–MAX6442 are a family of ultra-low-power
battery monitors with integrated microprocessor (µP)
supervisors. The battery monitors are offered with single or dual low-battery output options that can be used
to signal when the battery is OK (enabling full system
operation), when the battery is low (for low-power system operation), and when the battery is dead (to disable system operation). These devices also have an
independent µP supervisor that monitors VCC and provides an active-low reset output. A manual reset function is available to reset the µP with a push-button. No
external components are required.
The MAX6439–MAX6442 are offered with several factory-trimmed low-battery threshold combinations ideal for
single-cell lithium-ion (Li+) or multicell alkaline/NiCd/
NiMH applications. When the battery voltage drops
below each specified low threshold, the low-battery outputs are asserted to alert the system. When the voltage
rises above the specified high thresholds, the outputs
are deasserted after a 150ms minimum timeout period,
ensuring the voltages have stabilized before power circuitry is activated or providing microprocessor reset timing. The low and high thresholds provide hysteresis in
battery-operated systems to eliminate output chattering.
The MAX6439/MAX6440 offer factory-trimmed battery
monitors with a single output. The MAX6441/MAX6442
offer factory-trimmed battery monitors with dual outputs.
All battery monitors have open-drain low-battery outputs.
The MAX6439–MAX6442 monitor system voltages
(VCC) from 1.8V to 3.3V with seven fixed reset threshold
options. Each device is offered with two minimum reset
timeout periods of 150ms or 1200ms. The MAX6439/
MAX6441 are offered with an open-drain RESET output
and the MAX6440/MAX6442 are offered with a pushpull RESET output.
The MAX6439–MAX6442 are offered in a SOT23 package and are fully specified over a -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Note 1: Production testing done at TA = +25°C; limits over temperature guaranteed by design only.
Note 2: The device is powered up by the highest voltage between VBATT and VCC.
Note 3: MR input ignores falling input pulses, which occur within the MR debounce period (tDEB) after a valid MR reset assertion.
This prevents invalid reset assertion due to switch bounce.

MR
Manual Reset Input, Active-Low, Internal 1.5kΩ Pullup to VCC. Pull low to assert a one-shot
edge-triggered RESET output for the MR reset timeout period. Leave unconnected or
connect to VCC if unused. The MR input is debounced for MR rising edges to prevent false
reset events.

—
LBO
Low-Battery Output, Active Low, Open Drain. LBO is asserted when VBATT drops below the
LTH specification and remains asserted until VBATT rises above the HTH specification for at
least 150ms.
Reset Output, Active Low, Push-Pull or Open Drain. RESET changes from high to low when
the VCC input drops below the selected reset threshold and remains low for the VCC reset
timeout period after VCC exceeds the reset threshold. RESET is one-shot edge-trigger
pulsed low for the MR reset timeout period when the MR input is pulled low. RESET is an
open-drain output for the MAX6439/MAX6441, and a push-pull output for the
MAX6440/MAX6442. The push-pull outputs are referenced to VCC. RESET is guaranteed to
be in the correct logic state for VBATT or VCC > 1.0V.

LBOLH
Low-Battery Output Low/High, Active Low, Open Drain. LBOLH is asserted when VBATT
drops below the LTH- specification. LBOLH is deasserted when VBATT rises above the

Detailed Description
The MAX6439–MAX6442 family is available with several
monitoring options. The factory-trimmed thresholds
eliminate the requirement for external components. The
MAX6439/MAX6440 have single low-battery outputs
and the MAX6441/MAX6442 have dual low-battery outputs (see Figure 1a and Figure 1b).
The MAX6439–MAX6442 combine a 1.23V reference
with two comparators, logic, and timing circuitry to provide the user with information about the charge state of
the power-supply batteries. The MAX6441/MAX6442
monitor separate high-voltage and low-voltage thresholds to determine battery status. The output(s) can be
used to signal when the battery is charged, when the
battery is low, and when the battery is empty. Factorytrimmed thresholds are ideal for monitoring single-cell
Li+ or multicell alkaline/NiCd/NiMH power supplies.
When the power-supply voltage drops below the specified low threshold, the low-battery output asserts. When
the voltage rises above the specified high threshold following a 150ms (min) timeout period, the low-battery
output is deasserted. This ensures the supply voltage

low-battery outputs: LBOH, LBOL, and LBOLH. LBOH
asserts when VBATT drops below VHTH- and remains
asserted for at least 150ms after VBATT rises above
VHTH+. LBOL asserts when VBATT drops below VLTHand remains asserted for at least 150ms after VBATT
rises above VLTH+. LBOLH asserts when VBATT drops
below VLTH- and remains asserted for at least 150ms
after VBATT rises above VHTH+ (see Figure 3). For fastrising VBATT input, the LBOL timeout period must complete before the LBOH/LBOLH timeout period begins.
These devices also have an independent µP supervisor
that monitors VCC and provides an active-low reset output. A manual reset function is available to allow the
user to reset the µP with a push-button.
Low-Battery Output
The low-battery outputs are available in active-low
(LBO, LBOL, LBOH, LBOLH), open-drain configurations. The low-battery outputs can be pulled to a voltage independent of VCC or VBATT, up to 5.5V. This
allows the device to monitor and operate from direct
battery voltage while interfacing to higher voltage
microprocessors.
The MAX6439/MAX6440 single-output voltage monitors
provide a single low-battery output, LBO. These fixedthreshold devices assert LBO when VBATT drops below
V LTH and remain asserted for at least 150ms after
VBATT rises above VHTH (see Figure 2). The MAX6441/
MAX6442 triple-output voltage monitors provide three

Reset Output
The MAX6439–MAX6442 provide an active-low reset
output (RESET). RESET is asserted when the voltage at
VCC falls below the reset threshold level. Reset remains
asserted for the reset timeout period after VCC exceeds
the threshold. If VCC goes below the reset threshold
before the reset timeout period is completed, the internal timer restarts. The MAX6439/MAX6441 have opendrain reset outputs, while the MAX6440/MAX6442 have
push-pull reset outputs (see Figure 4).

logic levels, open-drain/open-collector outputs, or a
momentary push-button switch to GND (the MR function
is internally debounced for the tDEB timeout period) to
create a manual reset function. If MR is driven from long
cables, or if the device is used in a noisy environment,
connect a 0.1µF capacitor from MR to GND to provide
additional noise immunity (see Figure 4).

Hysteresis increases the comparator’s noise margin by
increasing the upper threshold or decreasing the lower
threshold. The hysteresis prevents the output from
oscillating (chattering) when VBATT is near the low-battery threshold. This is especially important for applications where the load on the battery creates significant
fluctuations in battery voltages (see Figure 5).

Manual Reset
Many microprocessor-based products require manual
reset capability, allowing the operator, a test technician,
or external logic circuitry to initiate a reset while the
monitored supplies remain above their reset thresholds.
These devices have a dedicated active-low MR pin.
When MR is pulled low, RESET asserts a one-shot low
pulse for the MR reset timeout period. The MR input has
an internal 1.5kΩ pullup resistor to VCC and can be left
unconnected if not used. MR can be driven with CMOS-

The MAX6441/MAX6442 dual-output battery monitors
can be used in conjunction with a battery charger to
provide a system with additional information about the
battery charge state. Many battery chargers, such as
the MAX1879, provide the user with a CHG output,
which tells the system when the battery is charged. The
MAX6441/MAX6442 dual-output battery monitors provide three outputs, which can be used to relay the battery condition to the system. This information is useful in
determining which system resources can be powered by
the battery at the current charge state (see Figure 6).

DC-to-DC Converter Application
The MAX6441/MAX6442 triple-output battery monitors
can be used in conjunction with a DC-to-DC converter
to power microprocessor systems using a single Li+
cell or two to three alkaline/NiCd/NiMH cells. The LBOH
output indicates that the battery voltage is weak, and is
used to warn the microprocessor of potential problems.
Armed with this information, the microprocessor can
MIN
MAX
reduce system power consumption. The LBOL output
indicates the battery is empty, and system power
should be disabled. By connecting LBOL to the SHDN
pin of the DC-to-DC converter, power to the microprocessor is removed. Microprocessor power does not return
until the battery has recharged to a voltage greater than
VLTH+ (see Figure 7).
