ILC514x 1.1
Advance
The ILC514X is an innovative, multilevel voltage detector,
designed to monitor the terminal voltage of a power source
and provide up to four independent flags when the voltage
levels drop below designated levels. The ILC514X is
unique in its design because one device can now signal the
user when a discharging battery goes below four (4) differ-
ent threshold voltages and because it requires no external
precision components to monitor these voltage levels. The
open drain flags are asserted when the terminal voltage
goes below their designated thresholds and are de-assert-
ed 140ms after the thresholds are exceeded. Additionally,
the ILC514X has a manual reset pin that allows the system
to assert all flags for a minimum of 200ms.
Built using Impala's prorprietary Analog CMOS process, the
ILC514X is packaged in a spacesaving MSOP10 package.
Quiescent current is below 10A. The threshold values for
the reset flags are factory set. Alternate values may be dis-
cussed with Impala Product Marketing. Threshold values
are accurate to within 1%. The device is available in three
output configurations: Open Drain RESET, Push Pull
RESET and Push Pull RESET.

ILC514x 1.1
Advance
The ILC514X is designed to monitor the terminal voltage of a
power source such as a battery and to assert a flag depend-
ing on the internally set threshold voltages. Up to four flags
can be used to warn of declining stages of a battery's life.
The flags are arranged in order of decreasing threshold val-
ues; therefore Flag 1 is asserted at V
TH1
, Flag 2 is asserted
at a voltage V
TH2
which is lower than V
TH1
and so on. The
ILC514C is ideally suited for systems such as PDA's, note-
books and personal electronics where multiple warning and
resets are desirable. An example of such a requirement is in
a PDA, where Flag 1 is asserted at V
TH1
= 2.9V "LOW BAT-
TERY WARNING" flag; Flag 2 is asserted at V
TH2
= 2.7V
"DISABLE CMOS WRITE"; Flag 3 is asserted at V
TH3
= 2.5V
"DISABLE IrDA PORT" and Flag 4 is asserted at V
TH4
= 2.3V
"DISABLE SYSTEM EXCEPT CHARGING."
The ILC514X has three output configurations: Open Drain
(ILC5140) RESET, Push Pull (ILC5141) RESET and Push
Pull (ILC5142) RESET
The ILC5140 series will be offered in a variety of voltage
thresholds corresponding to industry standard requirements.
In addition, customer defined voltage thresholds are avail-
able on a special ordering basis. Please consult Impala
marketing for conditions surrounding custom thresholds.
The ILC5140 samples the input voltage once every 400 ms.
This sampling rate was chosen to conserve battery life and
at the same time keep a reasonble vigil on the terminal volt-
age level. Once the thrshold has been passed, the flag
enable function reacts within 30s.
In addition to the 400ms sampling, a sample and hold cir-
cuit compares the input voltage to the most recent sample
and if there is a DV greater than 20mV the input sampling
is turned on continuously until either a flag is asserted or the
threshold is regained. If, during the continuous sampling a
thrshold is crossed, the flag is enabled. This method inher-
ently prevents accidental tripping of the flag during minor
input voltage level glitches.
Once the threshold is crossed on an increasing voltage
level, the flag is disabled 140ms after such a threshold is
detected. This is a minimum time since an addtional 400ms
may be added if the threshold is not detected at the begin-
ning of a regular sampling.
The flags are labelled Flag 1, Flag 2, Flag 3, Flag 4.
Voltage thrsholds are arranged in order of decreasing volt-
age levels, therefore Flag 1 will have a higher threshold
than Flag 2 and so on.
