CBC-EVAL-05

Overview

The EnerChip CC EVAL-05 Evaluation Kit is used to

demonstrate the capabilities of the EnerChip Thin

Film Batteries and the EnerChip CC with Integrated

Battery Management capabilities. The kit can be

used to demonstrate: 1 ) either EnerChip battery, 2)

either EnerChip CC device or 3 ) the EnerChip CC in

parallel with the other EnerChip battery.

Evaluation Kit Description

The EnerChip CC is the world’s first Intelligent Thin

Film Battery. It is an integrated solution that provides

battery backup and power management for systems

requiring power bridging and/or secondary power. A

single EnerChip CC can charge up to 10 additional

EnerChips connected in parallel.

Two EnerChip CC devices are on the EVAL-05, a

CBC3112 and a CBC3150, with battery capacities of

12 µAh and 50 µAh, respectively. The CBC-EVAL-05

evaluation board utilizes a 24-pin DIP format that

mates with a 24-pin DIP socket on a target board.

During normal operation, the EnerChip CC charges

itself with a controlled voltage using an internal

charge pump that operates from 2.5V to 5.5V. An

ENABLE pin allows the designer to activate and

deactivate the charge pump using an external control

line in order to minimize current consumption and

take advantage of the fast recharge time of the

EnerChip.

When the primary power supply dips below a user-

defined threshold voltage, the EnerChip CC will signal

EnerChip CC also has battery protection circuitry to

enable thousands of recharge cycles.

The CBC3112 and CBC3150 data sheets contain

complete specifications and application circuits.

EnerChip CC Applications

Standby supply

•

for non-volatile SRAM, real-time

clocks, controllers, supply supervisors, and other

system-critical components.

Wireless sensors and RFID tags

•

and other

powered, low duty cycle applications.

Localized power source

•

to keep microcontrollers

and other devices alert in standby mode.

Power bridging

•

to provide back-up power to

system during exchange of main batteries.

Consumer appliances

•

that have real-time

clocks; provides switchover power from main

supply to backup battery.

Business and industrial systems

•

such as:

network routers, point-of-sale terminals, single-

board computers, test equipment, multi-function

printers, industrial controllers, and utility meters

Energy Harvesting

•

by coupling the EnerChip

with energy transducers such as solar panels.
