PIN DESCRIPTIONS 

 

PIN#

 

PIN NAME

 

DESCRIPTION

 

LBST 

Logic input used to activate low battery detection circuitry. This includes activating high 
boost mode.  Input is designed to interface with circuitry supplied by Vreg, so input voltage 
levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. Input is disabled during brown-out.   

LBSET 

Internally connected to the low battery comparator input used to sense the Vdd voltage 
divider.  The internal reference to which this node is compared is nominally 0.9V.  Nominal 
internal resistance to Vdd is 400kohm. Nominal resistance to Vss is 240kohm. The 
resistance to Vss is changed to a nominal of 220kohm once a low battery condition is 
detected. External resistances can be added in parallel to adjust the low battery threshold 
voltage. 

VDD 

Connect to the positive supply voltage 

LEDEN 

Logic input used to enable the LED driver. Input is designed to interface with circuitry 
supplied by Vreg, so input voltage levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. LED driver is 
disabled during brown-out. 

LED 

Open drain NMOS output used to drive a visible LED. 

LX 

Open drain NMOS output used to drive the boost converter inductor. The inductor should 
be connected from this pin to the positive supply through a low resistance path. 

VSS2 

Internally connected to the source of the NMOS device used to drive the boost converter 
inductor. Connect to the negative supply voltage through a low resistance path. 

VSS 

Connect to the negative supply voltage. 

REGSEL 

Logic input used to set the Vreg output voltage level.  This input should always be tied to 
either Vdd or Vss. 

10 

VREG 

Regulated output voltage. Nominal output is 3.3V for REGSEL=Vdd and 3.0V for 
REGSEL=Vss. 

11 

VO 

Boosted voltage produced by DC-DC converter, typically 4V or 10V. 

12 

HORNB 

This pin is connected to the metal electrode (B) of a piezoelectric transducer. 

13 

HORNS 

HS is a complementary output to HB and connects to the ceramic electrode (S) of the 
piezoelectric transducer. 

14 

HRNEN 

Logic input for horn enable designed to interface with circuitry supplied by Vreg. Input 
voltage levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. Horn is disabled during brown-out. 

15 

FEED 

Usually connected to the feedback electrode of the piezoelectric horn through a current 
limiting resistor.  If not used, this pin must be connected to Vss. 

16 

LBOUT 

Logic output used to signal a low battery condition. Output pulls to Vreg when LBST is 
high and a low battery condition is detected.

Notes on Electrical Characteristics: 
 
1/ DC-DC converter in high boost mode (nominal VO=10V) can draw current pulses of greater than 1 Amp and is therefore very sensitive to 
series resistance. Critical components of this resistance are the inductor DC resistance, the internal resistance of the battery and the 
resistance in the connections from the inductor to the battery, from the inductor to the LX pin and from the Vss2 pin to the battery.  In order to 
function properly under full load at Vdd=2V, the total of the inductor and interconnect resistances should not exceed 0.3 ohm. The internal 
battery resistance should be no more than 0.5 ohm and a low ESR capacitor of 10uF or more should be connected in parallel with the battery 
to average current draw over the boost converter cycle. 
 
2/ In the Electrical Characteristics Table, wherever a specific VO value is listed under test conditions, the VO is forced externally with the 
inductor disconnected and the DC-DC converter is NOT running. 
 
3/ The brown-out threshold voltage is the VO voltage at which the regulator and horn will be disabled. At VO voltages below the brown-out 
threshold Vreg will be pulled to Vss. 
 
4/ In normal operation, the regulator will provide high-side current of up to 20mA, but current sinking capability is typically under 1uA. The 
overvoltage clamp is intended to limit the voltage at Vreg when it is pulled up by an external source. 
 
5/ The limits shown are 100% tested at 25C only. Test limits are guard-banded based on temperature characterization to guarantee 
compliance at temperature extremes.

PIN DESCRIPTIONS 

 

PIN#

 

PIN NAME

 

DESCRIPTION

 

LBST 

Logic input used to activate low battery detection circuitry. This includes activating high 
boost mode.  Input is designed to interface with circuitry supplied by Vreg, so input voltage 
levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. Input is disabled during brown-out.   

LBSET 

Internally connected to the low battery comparator input used to sense the Vdd voltage 
divider.  The internal reference to which this node is compared is nominally 0.9V.  Nominal 
internal resistance to Vdd is 400kohm. Nominal resistance to Vss is 240kohm. The 
resistance to Vss is changed to a nominal of 220kohm once a low battery condition is 
detected. External resistances can be added in parallel to adjust the low battery threshold 
voltage. 

VDD 

Connect to the positive supply voltage 

LEDEN 

Logic input used to enable the LED driver. Input is designed to interface with circuitry 
supplied by Vreg, so input voltage levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. LED driver is 
disabled during brown-out. 

LED 

Open drain NMOS output used to drive a visible LED. 

LX 

Open drain NMOS output used to drive the boost converter inductor. The inductor should 
be connected from this pin to the positive supply through a low resistance path. 

VSS2 

Internally connected to the source of the NMOS device used to drive the boost converter 
inductor. Connect to the negative supply voltage through a low resistance path. 

VSS 

Connect to the negative supply voltage. 

REGSEL 

Logic input used to set the Vreg output voltage level.  This input should always be tied to 
either Vdd or Vss. 

10 

VREG 

Regulated output voltage. Nominal output is 3.3V for REGSEL=Vdd and 3.0V for 
REGSEL=Vss. 

11 

VO 

Boosted voltage produced by DC-DC converter, typically 4V or 10V. 

12 

HORNB 

This pin is connected to the metal electrode (B) of a piezoelectric transducer. 

13 

HORNS 

HS is a complementary output to HB and connects to the ceramic electrode (S) of the 
piezoelectric transducer. 

14 

HRNEN 

Logic input for horn enable designed to interface with circuitry supplied by Vreg. Input 
voltage levels will scale with the Vreg voltage. Horn is disabled during brown-out. 

15 

FEED 

Usually connected to the feedback electrode of the piezoelectric horn through a current 
limiting resistor.  If not used, this pin must be connected to Vss. 

16 

LBOUT 

Logic output used to signal a low battery condition. Output pulls to Vreg when LBST is 
high and a low battery condition is detected.

Notes on Electrical Characteristics: 
 
1/ DC-DC converter in high boost mode (nominal VO=10V) can draw current pulses of greater than 1 Amp and is therefore very sensitive to 
series resistance. Critical components of this resistance are the inductor DC resistance, the internal resistance of the battery and the 
resistance in the connections from the inductor to the battery, from the inductor to the LX pin and from the Vss2 pin to the battery.  In order to 
function properly under full load at Vdd=2V, the total of the inductor and interconnect resistances should not exceed 0.3 ohm. The internal 
battery resistance should be no more than 0.5 ohm and a low ESR capacitor of 10uF or more should be connected in parallel with the battery 
to average current draw over the boost converter cycle. 
 
2/ In the Electrical Characteristics Table, wherever a specific VO value is listed under test conditions, the VO is forced externally with the 
inductor disconnected and the DC-DC converter is NOT running. 
 
3/ The brown-out threshold voltage is the VO voltage at which the regulator and horn will be disabled. At VO voltages below the brown-out 
threshold Vreg will be pulled to Vss. 
 
4/ In normal operation, the regulator will provide high-side current of up to 20mA, but current sinking capability is typically under 1uA. The 
overvoltage clamp is intended to limit the voltage at Vreg when it is pulled up by an external source. 
 
5/ The limits shown are 100% tested at 25C only. Test limits are guard-banded based on temperature characterization to guarantee 
compliance at temperature extremes.
