DESCRIPTION
The DS1259 Battery Manager Chip is a low-cost battery management system for portable and nonvolatile
electronic equipment. A battery connected to the battery input pin supplies power to CMOS electronic
circuits when primary power is lost through an efficient switch via the V
CCO
pins. When power is supplied
from the battery, the power-fail signal is active to warn electronic reset circuits of the power status.
Energy loss during shipping and handling is avoided by pulsing reset, thereby causing the battery to be
isolated from other elements in the circuits.

OPERATION
During normal operation, V
CCI
(Pins 15 and 16) is the primary energy source and power is supplied to
V
CCO
(Pins 12 and 13) through an internal switch at a voltage level of V
CCI
-0.2 volts at 250 mA. During
this time the power-fail signal (
PF
) is held high, indicating valid V
CCI
voltage (see Figure 1). However, if
the V
CCI
falls below the trip point (V
TP
), a level of 1.26 times the battery level (V
BAT
), the power-fail
signal is driven low. As V
CCI
falls below the battery level, power is switched from V
CCI
to V
BAT
and the
battery supplies power to the uninterruptible output (V
CCO
) at V
BAT
-0.2 volts at 15 mA.
On power-up, as the V
CCI
supply rises above the battery, the primary energy source, V
CCI
, becomes the
supply. As V
CCI
rises above the trip point (V
TP
), the power fail signal is driven back to the high level.
During normal operation, BAT (Pin 5) stays at the battery level regardless of the level of V
CCI
.
BATTERY FAIL
When power is being supplied from the primary energy source,
BF
(Pin 3) is held at a high level,
provided that the attached battery (V
BAT
) is greater than 2 volts. If the battery level should decrease to
below 2 volts, the
BF
signal is driven low, indicating a low battery. The
BF
signal is always low when
the
PF
signal is low.
RESET
The reset input can be used to prevent the battery from supplying power to V
CCO
and BAT even if V
CCI
falls below the level of the battery. This feature is activated by applying a pulsed input on RST to high
level for 50ns minimum while primary power is valid (see Figure 2). When primary power is removed
after pulsing RST, the V
CCO
output and BAT will go to high impedance. The next time primary power is
applied such that V
CCI
is greater than V
BAT
, normal operation resumes and V
CCO
will be supplied by the
battery or V
CCI
. The BAT output will also return to the level of the battery. Figure 3 shows the DS1259 in
a typical application.
