I'm working on a handheld project that runs off a single cell 3.7V Li-ion cell. I would like to trigger an LED to turn on when its voltage drops down to 3.3V. I have seen other answers with a TL431 IC that uses the a voltage divider to set the threshold (if I'm understanding the circuit correctly), but I have access to a regulated 3.3V line to reference as the threshold.
Can someone point me to a circuit/IC example that uses that regulated 3.3 V line to "turn on" the LED when the Li-ion cell drops down to that threshold? Or would the circuit with the TL431 IC suffice in my application?
Thank you!
