 4mV. When pulled low, the segment out-
puts become active immediately. A capacitor tied to DISP
allows the display to remain active for a short period of
timeafteractivationbyapush-buttonswitch.
The segment outputs are modulated as two banks of
three, with segments 1, 3, and 5 alternating with seg-
ments 2, 4, and 6. The segment outputs are modulated
at approximately 100Hz with each segment bank active
for 30% of the period.

Microregulator
The bq2010 can operate directly from 3 or 4 cells. To fa-
cilitate the power supply requirements of the bq2010, an
REF output is provided to regulate an external low-
threshold n-FET. A micropower source for the bq2010
can be inexpensively built using the FET and an exter-
nal resistor;see Figure 1.
