s s DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1558 is a backup battery controller that provides all the functions necessary to implement a backup power supply using a single NiCd cell. It includes a 1.2V boost converter, an intelligent 2-stage battery charger, automatic backup switching and a microprocessor 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. The LTC1558 is available in an SO-8, 16-lead GN or SO package. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation. s s s s s s s s s s Complete Battery Backup System in an SO-8, 16-Pin GN or SO Package Generates Adjustable Backup Voltage from a Single 1.2V NiCd Button Cell Automatic Main Supply to Backup Switching Minimum 100mW Output Power Automatic Fast Recharge of NiCd Batt...
