nals, and be close together to improve noise rejection.
These traces should be used for current-sense signal
routing only and should not carry any load current.
Refer to the MAX1774 evaluation kit for layout exam-
ples.
Setting the Voltage Monitor Levels
The low battery and dead battery detector trip points
can be set by adjusting the resistor values of the
divider string (R1, R2, and R3) in Figure 1 according to
the following equations:
R1 = (R2 + R3)
✕
[(V
BD
/ V
TH
) - 1]
R2 = R3
✕
[(V
BL
/ V
BD
) - 1]
where V
BL
is the low battery voltage, V
BD
is the dead
battery voltage, and V
TH
= +1.20V. Choose R3 to be
less than 250k
Ω
.
