General Description

The MAX834/MAX835 micropower voltage monitors contain a 1.204V precision bandgap reference, comparator, and latched output in a 5-pin SOT23 package. Using the latched output prevents deep discharge of batteries. The MAX834 has an open-drain, N-channel output driver, while the MAX835 has a push/pull output driver. Two external resistors set the trip-threshold voltage.

The MAX834/MAX835 feature a level-sensitive latch, eliminating the need to add hysteresis to prevent oscillations in battery-load-disconnect applications.
