The Design Idea in Figure 1 indicates a low-battery condition in an audio test instrument that is powered by four AA cells. As the instrument was otherwise an all-discrete design, this same approach ...

Over the last couple of decades the use of rechargeable batteries has grown enormously, and for most common applications there are ASICs[1] which control battery management with very little additional ...

We’ve all been there. You’ve cooked up some little microcontroller project, but you need to unhook it from your dev PC and go mobile. There’s just one problem — you haven’t worked up a battery ...

I will be talking about single-series (1sXp) cell configurations, for a simple reason – multiple-series configurations are not something I consider myself as having worked extensively with. The single ...

The following circuit uses a low-power CMOS comparator and an LED to indicate low-battery voltage without causing excessive current drain. To view the application note, click on the URL below. Circuit ...
