Battery Manager
General Description
The MAX1259 battery manager provides backup-battery
switching for CMOS RAM, microprocessors, or other
low-power logic ICs. It automatically switches to the
backup battery when the primary power supply is inter-
rupted. Low-loss switches guarantee an input-to-output
differential of only 200mV while supplying 250mA from
the primary power supply or 15mA from the battery.
Battery discharge during shipping does not occur in the
MAX1259, since the backup battery can be disconnect-
ed by strobing the RST input.
A battery-fail output signal indicates when the backup
battery is below +2V, and a power-fail output signal indi-
cates when the primary power supply is low. The
MAX1259 monitors the backup battery, warns of
impending power failures, and switches the memory to
the battery when failures occur. The MAX1259 is pin-
compatible with the DS1259, but consumes three times
less supply current. Commercial, extended, and military
temperature range devices are available.

Detailed Description
Battery Switchover and V
CCO
Figure 2 shows a typical application for the MAX1259.
CMOS RAM is powered from V
CCO
. The battery
switchover circuit compares V
CC
to the V
BATT
input,
and connects V
CCO
to whichever is higher.
Switchover occurs when V
CC
equals V
BATT
as V
CC
falls, and when V
CC
is 60mV greater than V
BATT
as
V
CC
rises. This hysteresis prevents repeated, rapid
switching if V
CC
falls very slowly or remains nearly
equal to the battery voltage. Low-loss switches guaran-
tee an input-to-output differential of only 200mV, while
supplying 250mA from the primary power supply or
15mA from the battery.
Note:
With adequate filtering, the MAX1259 need only
supply the average current drawn by the CMOS RAM.
Many RAM data sheets specify a 75mA maximum sup-
ply current, but this peak current spike lasts only 100ns.
If the sum of the peak currents is greater than 250mA, a
capacitor placed on the V
CCO
output can supply the
high instantaneous current, while V
CCO
need only sup-
ply the average current, which is much less.
The MAX1259 operates with battery voltages from 2.5V
to 3.7V. High-value capacitors—either standard elec-
trolytic or farad-sized, double-layer capacitors—can
also be used for short-term memory backup (Figure 3).
