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 interrupted.
Low-loss switches guarantee an input-to-output differ-
ential 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 disconnected
by strobing the RST input.
A battery-fail output signal indicates when the backup bat-
tery is below +2V, and a power-fail output signal indicates
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 pincompatible 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 switcho-
ver circuit compares V
CC
to the V
BATT
input, and con-
nects 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 guarantee 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 supply the
average current, which is much less.
The MAX1259 operates with battery voltages from 2.5V to
3.7V. High-value capacitors—either standard electrolytic
or farad-sized, double-layer capacitors—can also be used
