DESCRIPTION
The LTC
廬
1559 is a backup battery controller that provides
all the functions necessary to implement a backup 3.3V or
5V power supply using a single NiCd cell. It includes a 1.2V
to 3.07V/4.63V boost converter, an intelligent 2-stage
battery charger, automatic backup switching and a micro-
processor reset generator. The boost converter uses a
synchronous switching architecture to achieve a typical
efficiency of 70%, ensuring maximum backup lifetime
from a small NiCd cell.
The on-chip NiCd charger uses an internal gas gauge to
minimize fast recharge time and prevent overcharging of
the backup cell, thereby improving system efficiency and
extending the life of the backup cell. The LTC1559 also
provides a user programmable trickle charge current to
compensate for self-discharge losses in the backup cell.
The LTC1559鈥檚 automatic backup switching scheme
requires minimum intervention from the host system and
provides feedback to the host to minimize system loading
in the backup state. Its internal V
CC
fault detector and reset
generator eliminate the need for a separate microproces-
sor supervisory chip in most applications.
The LTC1559 is available in an SO-8, 16-pin GN or SO
package.
