DESCRIPTION
The DS1260 SmartBattery is a low-cost, backup energy supply for portable and nonvolatile electronic
equipment. A lithium energy source of up to 1 amp hour can supply power to CMOS electronic circuits
when primary power is lost through an intelligent and efficient switch. When power is supplied from the
lithium power source, the power fail signal is held low to warn electronic (RESET) circuits of the power
status. Energy loss during shipping and handling is avoided by pulsing RESET, thereby causing the
backup energy source to be isolated from the exposed pins. The DS1260 can be plugged into a standard
16-pin, low-cost DIP socket, allowing for proven int erconnect and simple replacement if the energy has
been exhausted.

OPERATION
During normal operation V

(pins 12 and 13) through an internal switch at a voltage level of V
CCO
this time the power-fail signal (PF ) is held high, indicating valid primary voltage (see Figure 1).
However, if the V
falls below the level of 4.25 volts, the power-fail signal is driven low. As V

supplies power to the uninterruptible output (V
(pins 15 and 16) is the primary energy source and power is supplied to

BATTERY FAIL
When power is being supplied from the primary energy source, BF (Pin 3) is held at a high level (VOH),
provided that the lithium energy source is greater than 2 volts. If the lithium energy source should
decrease to below 2 volts, the BF signal is driven low (VOL), indicating an exhausted lithium battery. The
BF signal is always low when power is being supplied by the lithium energy source.
RESET
The reset input can be used to prevent the lithium energy source from supplying power to V
even if V
falls below 3 volts. This feature is activated by applying a pulsed input on RST to a high
CCI
level (VIH) for 50ns minimum while primary power is valid (see Figure 2). When primary power is
removed after pulsing RST, the V
power is applied such that V
is greater than V
CCI
by the lithium energy source when V
output and BAT will go to high impedance. The next time primary

, normal operation resumes and V
BAT
again falls below 3 volts. BAT will also return to the level V
