Backup Battery Operation
Many types of batteries can be used with the Intersil
RTC products. 3.0V or 3.6V Lithium batteries are
appropriate, and sizes are available that can power a
Intersil RTC device for up to 10 years. Another option
is to use a supercapacitor for applications where Vcc
may disappear intermittently for short periods of time.
Depending on the value of supercapacitor used,
backup time can last from a few days to two weeks
(with >1F). A simple silicon or Schottky barrier diode
can be used in series with Vcc to charge the superca-
pacitor, which is connected to the Vback pin. Do not
use the diode to charge a battery (especially lithium
batteries!).

Since the battery switchover occurs at Vcc=Vback-
0.1V (see Figure 16), the battery voltage must always
be lower than the Vcc voltage during normal operation
or the battery will be drained. A second consideration
is the trip point setting for the system RESET- func-
tion, known as Vtrip. Vtrip is set at the factory at levels
for systems with either Vcc = 5V or 3.3V operation,
with the following standard options:

= 4.63V ± 3%

The summary of conditions for backup battery opera-
tion is given in Table 8:
