LTC4150 APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONAUTOMATIC CHARGE COUNT INTERRUPT AND CLEAR use Figure 6. The resistor dividers on CLR and SHDN keep the voltages at these pins within the LTC4150’s V In applications where a CLR pulse is unavailable, it’s easy to DD range. Choose an R make the LTC4150 run autonomously, as shown in Figures L value using Equation 11 and R1-R4 values using Equation 13. In either application, the LTC4150 will 5 and 6. If the microcontroller VCC is less than or equal to capture the fi rst assertion of INT and wait at least 1μs the battery VDD, INT may be directly connected to CLR, as before resetting it. This insures that INT pulses low for at in Figure 5. The only requirement is that the microcontroller least 1μs but gives automatic INT reset. should be able to provide a high logic level of 1.9V to SHDN.
