INFORMATION
FEATURES
■ Very Low Quiescent Current ( 5 µA)
■ Dual Comparator Outputs
■ Single Monitor Input
■ Miniature Package (SOT-23-5)
DESCRIPTION
The TK65010 battery voltage monitor is designed for
portable battery powered systems where board space and
cost are important design considerations. The proprietary
monitoring architecture of the TK65010 allows two separate
warning thresholds to be set utilizing a single resistor
divider and single input pin.
The first warning indicator, a Low Battery Output (LBO), is
intended to warn the battery powered system of a low
battery condition. In such a condition, the LBO may be
used to alert the system to illuminate a low battery indicator
and to take appropriate action preparing for battery failure.

The second warning indicator, a Dead Battery Output
(DBO), is intended to be used by the system for shutdown
purposes. The availability of the DBO allows the system to
shut down in order to minimize deep discharge of the
battery.

THEORY OF OPERATION
TK65010
The circuit in Figure 1 illustrates a typical application
utilizing the TK65010. The TK65010 differs from most
voltage monitors due to the fact that two separate
comparator thresholds can be set utilizing a single resistive
divider and a single input pin. One comparator output is
used as an early “low battery” warning. The second
comparator can be used as a later “dead battery” warning.

FIGURE 1
In a typical voltage monitor, which uses an external resistive
divider for setting the voltage monitor threshold, the input
bias current to the monitor pin is essentially zero. In this
type of scenario, the voltage on the monitor input would be
a resistively divided version of the battery voltage. The
TK65010 introduces a small feedback current (IFB) which
introduces a “plateau” into the transfer characteristics
between the battery voltage and the voltage monitoring
pin. The width of this plateau is dependent upon the current
range of the feedback current (IFB) and the values of the
external resistor network. Figure 2 illustrates the typical
relationship between the battery voltage (VIN), the feedback
current (IFB) and the voltage on the monitoring pin (V
MON
Under these conditions, current will be flowing into the
V
pin and will be limited to approximately 580 nA. As
MON
the battery voltage drops, the voltage on the V
drop proportionately. When the voltage on the V
passes through approximately 710 mV, the output of the
first comparator (LBO) will transition from a high to a low
state. Shortly after the LBO output has been asserted, as
the input voltage continues to drop, the magnitude of the
current into the V
pin will begin to proportionately
MON
decrease as the input voltage decreases. An op-amp
feedback loop internal to the TK65010 will attempt to
maintain the voltage on the V
pin at a constant value of
MON
approximately 700 mV (thus, the plateau). As the battery
voltage continues to drop, there comes a point where the
feedback current decreases to approximately zero. A this
point, the voltage on the V
pin will resume a proportional
MON
drop with the input voltage. As the voltage on the V
passes through approximately 690 mV, the second
comparator output (DBO) will be asserted.

In selecting a resistor divider network, there are typically
two degrees of freedom when selecting values. The first

criteria in selecting the divider is the ratio of the two
resistors. Selecting the ratio defines the lower threshold of
the voltage monitor (DBO). The second degree of freedom
when selecting the resistor divider is the absolute resistance

values. This second degree of freedom can be utilized to
set a secondary monitoring threshold (LBO) greater than
the first.

magnitude of the feedback current flowing into the IFB pin.
