range are optimal. However, the addition of R3 will
change the trip point.

Using the Gain Block
The gain block (GB) on the LT1111 can be used as an error
amplifier, low-battery detector or linear post regulator.
The gain block itself is a very simple PNP input op amp with
an open collector NPN output. The negative input of the
gain block is tied internally to the 1.25V reference. The
positive input comes out on the SET pin.
Arrangement of the gain block as a low-battery detector
is straightforward. Figure 12 shows hookup. R1 and R2
need only be low enough in value so that the bias current
of the SET input does not cause large errors. 33k for R2
is adequate. R3 can be added to introduce a small amount
of hysteresis. This will cause the gain block to “snap”
