MAX1259
Battery Manager
General Description
The MAX1259 battery manager provides backup-battery
switching for CMOS RAM, microprocessors, or other lowpower logic ICs. It automatically switches to the backup
battery when the primary power supply is interrupted.
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 disconnected
by strobing the RST input.
A battery-fail output signal indicates when the backup battery 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 VCCO
Figure 2 shows a typical application for the MAX1259.
CMOS RAM is powered from VCCO. The battery switchover circuit compares VCC to the VBATT input, and connects VCCO to whichever is higher.
Switchover occurs when VCC equals VBATT as VCC falls,
and when VCC is 60mV greater than VBATT as VCC rises.
This hysteresis prevents repeated, rapid switching if VCC
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 supply 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 VCCO output can supply the high
instantaneous current, while VCCO 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
for short-term memory backup (Figure 3).

Figure 4. Reset Timing
To achieve rated performance, the VCC input should be
connected to both VCCI pins (pins 15 and 16). As well, the
switched output should be connected to both VCCO pins
(pins 12 and 13).
RESET (Digitally Controlled
Battery Disconnect)
Power Fail
If VCCI is at or above the voltage trip threshold (VTP) and
the backup battery is greater than 2V, the battery-fail (BF)
output will be held high, indicating a charged battery. If the
backup battery drops below 2V or VCCI falls below VTP,
BF will be driven low.
This disconnect feature is activated by pulsing the reset
(RST) input high for a minimum of 50ns with VCCI greater
than VTP (Figure 4). When primary power is removed,
the VCCO and BAT outputs will go high impedance. The
next time primary power is applied with VCCI greater than
1.26 x VBATT (VTP), normal operation resumes. Note that
when the MAX1259 is first powered up, VCCI must be
brought above 1.26 x VBATT. This resets an internal flipflop, ensuring that the part is in normal VCC mode and not
in shipping mode.
BAT Output
Applications Information
The power-fail (PF) output is high for VCCI greater than
1.26 x VBATT (VTP), indicating a valid VCCI voltage.
Battery Fail
During normal operation, the BAT output stays at the battery voltage, regardless of the VCCI level. This provides
1mA battery current.
www.maximintegrated.com
To prevent battery discharge during shipping, the backup
battery can be disconnected from VCCO to BAT.
If a protection diode is placed in series with the backup
battery, pin 2 must be bypassed with at least a 0.01μF
capacitor to ground.
