LTC1559-3.3/LTC1559-5  
Backup Battery Controller  
with Fixed Output  
U
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LTC®1559 is a backup battery controller that provides  
all the functions necessary to implement a backup 3.3V or  
5VpowersupplyusingasingleNiCdcell.Itincludesa1.2V  
to 3.07V/4.63V boost converter, an intelligent 2-stage  
battery charger, automatic backup switching and a micro-  
processor 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.  
Complete Battery Backup System in an SO-8,  
16-Pin GN or SO Package  
Generates Fixed Backup Voltage (3.07V/4.63V) from  
a Single 1.2V NiCd Button Cell  
Automatic Main Supply to Backup Switching  
Minimum 100mW Output Power  
Automatic Fast Recharge of NiCd Battery  
Programmable NiCd Trickle Charge Current  
Smart NiCd Charger Minimizes Recharge Time and  
Maximizes System Efficiency After Backup  
The on-chip NiCd charger uses an internal gas gauge to  
minimize fast recharge time and prevent overcharging of  
the backup cell, thereby improving system efficiency and  
extending the life of the backup cell. The LTC1559 also  
provides a user programmable trickle charge current to  
compensate for self-discharge losses in the backup cell.  
Onboard Power-Up and Push-Button Reset  
Generator  
Performs VCC Supervisory Functions  
Reset Assertion Guaranteed at VCC = 1V  
Short-Circuit Protection  
Thermal Limiting  
The LTC1559’s automatic backup switching scheme  
requires minimum intervention from the host system and  
provides feedback to the host to minimize system loading  
inthebackupstate. ItsinternalVCC faultdetectorandreset  
generator eliminate the need for a separate microproces-  
sor supervisory chip in most applications.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
Pin Numbers Are Shown First for the SO-8 Package  
Then the GN16 and S16 Packages  
is guaranteed to be valid when VCC is greater than or equal  
to 1V.  
SW (Pins 1/1, 2): Boost Converter Switching Node. Con-  
nect a 22µH inductor from SW to the positive terminal of  
the backup cell. In backup mode, this node is alternately  
switchedbetweengroundandVBAK,generatingthebackup  
output voltage. In fast or trickle charge mode, an internal  
regulator outputs a constant DC current from this pin  
through the 22µH inductor and into the NiCd battery.  
Duringpower-uporundervoltagelockout(UVLO), theSW  
pin enters a high impedance state.  
RESET also provides a low going 100µs signal whenever  
the CTL pin is pulled low for less than two seconds (“soft”  
reset). Unlike hard reset, soft reset does not affect the  
LTC1559’s current operating mode.  
BACKUP (Pins 6/13): System Backup Signal. This is a  
TTL-compatible output driver that pulls low unless the  
LTC1559 is in backup mode. BACKUP signals the system  
controller that the system is in backup mode so that it can  
reduce system loading. BACKUP can also be used to drive  
the gate of a P-channel MOSFET in series with the main  
system regulator’s output. See the Applications Informa-  
tion section for more details.  
GND (Pins 2/4): System Ground. The low power internal  
circuitry returns to this pin in the 16-pin packages. GND  
and PGND are bonded together to this pin in the 8-pin  
package.  
V
CC (Pins 7/14): Power Supply Input. All internal circuits  
CTL (Pins 3/5): Control. This pin provides three functions.  
In backup mode this pin is a high impedance input and  
monitors the backup battery cell voltage (VBAT). If VBAT  
drops below 0.9V, the LTC1559 enters UVLO. During  
trickle charge mode, an external resistor REXT sets the  
trickle charge current. In all modes, pulling the CTL pin  
below 250mV generates either a “soft” or “hard” reset  
pulse. See the Applications Information section for more  
information.  
except the boost converter are powered from this pin. A  
0.1µF bypass capacitor is required from VCC to ground.  
The UVLO detector inside the LTC1559 monitors VCC. If  
VCC drops below the rated output voltage by 9%, the  
LTC1559 enters UVLO mode and RESET is asserted. The  
LTC1559-3.3 exits UVLO if VCC rises to greater than  
5.5% of the rated output voltage. The LTC1559-5 exits  
UVLO if VCC rises to greater than –6% of the rated output  
voltage.SeetheApplicationsInformationsectionformore  
details.  
PS (Pins 4/7): Power Supply Sense. This pin senses the  
presence of the main supply and triggers the LTC1559 to  
terminate backup mode. During backup, VCC is driven  
externallybytheLTC1559’sboostconvert’soutput(VBAK).  
When PS > VCC during backup, the LTC1559 pulls down  
the BACKUP pin, reconnecting the system regulator out-  
puttothesystemVCC. ThePSpinisneededinapplications  
that use a P-channel MOSFET (driven by the BACKUP  
signal) to isolate the system regulator during backup. If  
not needed, PS can be disabled by tying it to ground.  
VBAK(Pins8/15,16):BackupSupplyOutput.TheLTC1559’s  
boost converter provides the regulated output voltage to  
the system through VBAK during backup mode.  
16-Pin GN and SO Packages  
PGND (Pin 3): Power Ground. The internal driver circuitry  
returns to this pin. PGND should be connected to a low  
impedance ground plane in close proximity to the NiCd  
battery cell.  
SHDN (Pin 6): Chip Shutdown. A TTL-compatible active  
low voltage at SHDN puts the LTC1559 into low power  
shutdown mode. In shutdown, all internal circuits power  
down and are held in a reset state. The SW, CTL and VBAK  
pins enter into high impedance states. In shutdown mode,  
supply current drops to below 50µA and current drawn  
from the backup cell drops to below 15µA.  
RESET (Pins 5/11): System Reset, Active Low. This is an  
open-drain output. This pin provides a low going reset  
signal to the system processor. A 200ms pulse is gener-  
ated if the CTL pin is pulled low for more than two seconds  
(“hard” reset) or if the LTC1559 comes out of UVLO. This  
“hard reset” stops the internal boost converter if it is  
running. This pin is held low if the LTC1559 is in UVLO and

PIN FUNCTIONS  
RESET (Pin 12): System Reset, Active High. This is a TTL-  
compatible output driver. It can connect to systems that  
require active high logic. The RESET output will go high if  
RESET is pulled low.  
LOBAT (Pin 9): Low Backup Battery Detector Output. This  
is an open-drain output with an internal weak pull-up. It is  
asserted if the NiCd cell terminal voltage drops below  
1.0V. This pin is pulled high if the LTC1559 is in trickle  
charge mode.

Cold Power Boot-Up Description  
3. The LTC1559’s internal bandgap wakes up. QEXT turns  
on and VCC = PS. The LTC1559’s internal boost con-  
verter does not turn on as RESET remains asserted.  
1. System regulator starts to ramp up the output (PS)  
once the VBAT voltage increases beyond the minimum  
input value.  
4. RESETisassertedforafurther200msafterVCC reaches  
5.5% of its rated VCC value for the LTC1559-3.3 and  
6% of its rated VCC value for the LTC1559-5.  
2. VCC startstoincreaseoncePSishighenoughtoturnon  
QEXT’s body diode. RESET is asserted when VCC is less  
than or equal to 1V.

Backup Mode Description  
3. Recovery from Backup Mode. While the boost con-  
verter is running, the main battery is restored. This

The LTC1559 includes an onboard boost converter  
designed to generate a fixed voltage (3.07V for 3.3V parts  
and 4.625V for 5V parts) from a single 1.2V NiCd cell.  
When connected to the system DC/DC converter’s output,  
the LTC1559 enables the system connected to the VCC rail  
to continue operation when the main power supply fails. A  
“smart” recharging circuit uses an accumulating gas  
gauge to measure the charge extracted from the backup  
battery during a backup cycle. This measured charge is  
then replaced in a fast recharge cycle, without wasting  
excess power or overcharging the backup cell. An exter-  
nally adjustable trickle charge circuit maintains the cell  
chargeafterthefastchargecyclehascompleted, minimiz-  
ing drain from the main battery during standby.

Boost Converter Operation  
Included in the LTC1559 is a complete backup circuit that  
monitors the main system power and automatically  
switchesinthebackupcircuitastheprimarypowersupply  
falls away (due to a weak or disconnected main battery).  
The LTC1559 also performs VCC supervisory functions  
during normal system operations. An LTC1559-3.3  
monitors a 3.3V supply voltage at its VCC pin while an  
LTC1559-5 monitors a 5V supply at its VCC pin. In both  
cases, the LTC1559 derives power for the majority of the  
internal circuitry (except for the boost converter) from its  
VCC pin. Table 1 shows the signal conditions for the  
various operating modes of the LTC1559-3.3. Table 2  
shows the signal conditions for the various operating  
modes of the LTC1559-5.  
The LTC1559 uses an onboard boost converter with a  
fixed peak current architecture that provides a simple and  
flexible system solution while eliminating the need for  
conventional frequency compensation. The boost  
converter’s output, set to 93% (LTC1559-3.3) or 92.5%  
(LTC1559-5) of the rated VCC, supports the system VCC  
during backup. It supplies a minimum backup power of  
100mW. The boost converter operates in a modified  
pulse-skippingmode;eachswitchcycletransfersaknown  
amount of charge from the backup cell to the regulated  
output.Thispreventsuncontrolleddischargeofthebackup  
cell and allows the LTC1559 to accurately measure the  
charge removed from the backup cell by counting the  
charge pulses.  
The LTC1559 enters backup mode when the main battery  
voltage drops and causes VCC, the system regulator’s  
output, to fall. As shown in Figure 1, VCC is scaled down  
by an internal resistor divider and fed to the LTC1559’s  
backup comparators. These compare the scaled voltage

with an internal trimmed VREF (1.272V), switching the  
LTC1559 into backup mode if VCC drops 7%  
(LTC1559-3.3) or 7.5% (LTC1559-5) below its rated  
value. Upon entering backup mode, the BACKUP pin is  
asserted and the internal boost converter turns on. The  
BACKUP signal turns off the external P-channel MOSFET  
(ifused),isolatingthesystemregulatorfromtheLTC1559.  
The boost converter charges the VCC capacitor, COUT, of  
the system regulator until VCC rises above VCC (rated  
value) – 7% (LTC1559-3.3) or VCC (rated value) – 7.5%  
(LTC1559-5).  
ferred for the first two consecutive switch cycles. If VCC  
falls below VCC (rated value) 7% (LTC1559-3.3), the  
boost operation starts by connecting the SW pin internally  
to ground through an internal 0.5N-channel MOSFET  
(N1 in the Block Diagram). The current through the exter-  
nal 22µH inductor rises linearly through this switch.  
When the switch current reaches an internally preset level  
of 165mA, the boost converter connects the SW pin to the  
VBAK pin through an internal 2P-channel MOSFET. The  
inductor current discharges through the P-channel (P1 in  
the Block Diagram) and charges up the system’s VCC  
capacitor (COUT of the system regulator, Figure 1). The  
inductor current falls at a rate proportional to the differ-  
ence between the backup cell voltage and the output  
voltage VBAK. When the inductor current reaches zero,  
indicating all of its energy has been transferred to the  
output capacitor, the LTC1559 monitors the VCC voltage.  
If VCC has increased above the VCC (rated value) 7%  
(LTC1559-3.3) threshold, the boost converter shuts off  
both switches and waits for VCC to drop below VCC (rated  
value) 7% (LTC1559-3.3) again.  
Once VCC rises above VCC (rated value) – 7% (LTC1559-  
3.3), the boost converter deactivates and the freshly  
chargedVCC capacitorCOUT suppliespowertothesystem.  
The cycle repeats again when the VCC capacitor’s charge  
is drained away and VCC again drops below VCC (rated  
value) – 7% (LTC1559-3.3). The BACKUP pin remains  
asserted until the main battery is restored. This ensures  
that the LTC1559 does not switch in and out of backup  
mode unnecessarily.  
The LTC1559’s boost converter minimizes output ripple  
under light load conditions by reducing the charge trans-

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
If VCC is still less than VCC (rated value) 7% (LTC1559-  
3.3) after the first boost cycle, the LTC1559 immediately  
reconnects SW to ground, repeating the boost cycle. If  
after two consecutive pulses, VCC is still not above the

,
= 66mV  
the LTC1559 decides that the load is not so light after all,  
and doubles the internal inductor charging current limit to  
330mA for subsequent cycles. This is high current mode.  
By doubling the peak inductor current, each boost cycle  
effectively carries four times more energy compared to  
low current mode (E = 1/2 • LI2), doubling the available  
output power. When VCC exceeds the VCC (rated value)  
7% (LTC1559-3.3) boost threshold, the LTC1559 stops  
theboostconverterandresetstheinternal2-pulsecounter.  
The next time VCC falls below VCC (rated value) 7%  
(LTC1559-3.3),theboostconverterrestartsinlowcurrent  
mode for at least two boost cycles. Moderate or changing  
loads cause the LTC1559 to shift between the two peak  
inductor current limits, keeping the output in tight regula-  
tion. Near its maximum load capability, the LTC1559 will  
stay in 330mA high current mode and the output voltage  
VBAK will hover around VCC (rated value) – 7%  
Since VCC must be scaled down internally, the external  
resistor ratio:  
= 5V/1.272V  
= 3.931  
Therefore the ripple seen by the VCC comparators is:

Ripple voltage = 25.4mV  
tDISCH = 3.9µs  
VCC Capacitor ESR  
The type of output capacitor and the rated VCC value will  
affect the LTC1559’s output ripple and efficiency. In most  
applications, the VCC capacitor is primarily determined by  
the requirements of the main power supply. Such a  
capacitor will generally meet the requirements of the  
LTC1559. In unusual circumstances or circuits where  
the main system VCC capacitor is located some distance  
away from the LTC1559, a local output capacitor may be  
necessary.  
The internal VCC comparators are designed to have a slow  
response time to filter away this ripple. The VCC (rated  
value) – 5.5% (LTC1559-3.3) and VCC(rated value) – 9%  
comparators have a 6µs rising edge delay and 2µs falling  
edge delay. The VCC (rated value) – 7% (LTC1559-3.3)  
comparator has a similar 6µs rising time delay but a much  
longer falling time delay of 20µs. This enables the com-  
paratortocontroltheboostconverterproperly,andavoids  
turning off the boost converter prematurely due to false  
triggering by the ESR ripple.  
The ripple on the VCC pin is equal to the capacitor ESR  
voltage drop due to the boost converter’s output current  
pulses. The ripple frequency and output duty cycle is  
proportional to the inductor discharge time. Given a fixed  
inductor value (22µH) and a known peak current limit, the  
booster’s discharge time in each boost cycle is propor-  
tionaltothedifferencebetweenVBAK (93%oftheratedVCC  
for the LTC1559-3.3 and 92.5% of the rated VCC for the  
LTC1559-5) and the battery cell voltage, VBAT (1.2V).  
Exit from Backup  
When a main battery is inserted into the system, the  
LTC1559 follows a specific sequence to exit backup mode  
and return control to the main supply. The sequence  
depends on the type of main power supply used. In  
systems where the main supply’s output impedance is  
10  
LTC1559-3.3/LTC1559-5  
U
W U U  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
high when inactive (typically a boost regulator with an  
output catch diode), the LTC1559 detects the return of the  
main supply by watching for VCC to exceed VCC (rated  
value) – 5.5% (LTC1559-3.3). The LTC1559 then shuts  
down its internal boost converter and begins to recharge  
the NiCd cell. In such applications, the PS pin is not used  
and can be tied to ground. No external P-channel MOSFET  
is required to isolate the main supply from the system VCC  
during backup.  
to the load while charge on the VCC capacitor drains away.  
If VCC drops below VCC (rated voltage) 9% for more than  
7.5µs, the LTC1559’s VCC supervisory circuit activates  
UVLO mode, shutting off the boost converter and assert-  
ing the Reset pins. The 7.5µs delay prevents the LTC1559  
from being fooled by brief transients or noise spikes on its  
V
CC pin. Upon receipt of the reset signal, the host system  
should shut down in an orderly manner. The LTC1559’s  
V
CC supervisory circuit will remain alive until VCC is less  
than 1V to ensure a valid RESET pin signal.  
In systems where the main supply’s output impedance is  
low when inactive (typically buck regulators), the main  
supply must be disconnected from the system VCC during  
backup to prevent the inactive supply from loading the  
LTC1559. This is typically accomplished using an external  
P-channel MOSFET as shown in Figure 1. When the main  
supply is restored, the P-channel MOSFET’s body diode  
forward-biases. This allows current to flow into the sys-  
tem VCC, but the forward drop across this diode may  
prevent VCC from reaching the VCC (rated value)  
– 5.5% (LTC1559-3.3) threshold that deactivates the  
LTC1559’s backup mode. In such systems, the PS pin  
should connect directly to the output of the main system  
supply. When the system regulator’s voltage rises about  
2.5% above the backup VCC, the PS comparator triggers  
and causes the LTC1559 to deassert the BACKUP pin  
signal. This signals the system controller to restore sys-  
tem loading and resume normal operation. At the same  
time, the external P-MOSFET is driven by the BACKUP  
signal. The P-channel MOSFET turns on and allows the  
main regulator to bypass its body diode and drive the  
system VCC directly.  
Backup Cell Voltage Monitoring  
As the boost converter removes charge from the backup  
NiCd cell, the cell’s terminal voltage falls. Permanent  
damage to the NiCd cell can occur if it is discharged to  
below 0.9V. To prevent this, the LTC1559 monitors the  
cell’s terminal voltage through the CTL pin during backup.  
If the CTL pin drops below 0.9V for more than 20µs, the  
UVLO circuit shuts down the boost converter and asserts  
the RESET and RESET pins. Since the CTL pin can also be  
connected to an external push-button reset, the LTC1559  
includes internal logic to ensure that the low cell voltage  
reset is triggered only if the CTL pin is between 0.9V and  
0.25V. This will prevent a push-button reset (which pulls  
CTL below 250mV) from being mistaken as a low cell  
voltage condition. Unusual situations where the NiCd cell  
voltage drops drastically below 0.25V will also trigger  
UVLO, since the LTC1559 will treat this as a “hard” reset  
after two seconds.  
AnoptionalLOBAToutput,availableinthe16-pinGNorSO  
package, can be used to signal the system if the cell  
voltage falls below 1V, giving an early warning that the  
backup cell is heavily discharged. The LOBAT pin is  
disabled if the LTC1559 is in trickle charge mode,  
because the CTL pin is regulated to 0.5V by the LTC1559.  
Sincetheusercanreplacethemainbatteryanytimeduring  
the LTC1559’s backup operation, the BACKUP signal may  
be deasserted while the boost converter is switching. To  
prevent the potential problem of residual energy in the  
inductor, the LTC1559 will only stop the boost converter  
after it completes the current boost converter cycle.  
Fault Protection and Thermal Limit  
The LTC1559’s boost converter incorporates two internal  
timers that turn off the switch transistors if the inductor  
charge or discharge time gets abnormally long.  
UVLO Under Excessive Backup Load  
Very heavy loads (above the LTC1559’s maximum power  
output) will pull the boost converter’s output below the  
boost threshold. Under these conditions, the LTC1559’s

case, the NiCd cell is assumed to be damaged and the  
LTC1559’s priority is shutting down the system grace-  
fully. In this case, the timer will shut off the N-channel  
switch transistor after a maximum charging time (14µs).  
The boost converter continues switching but delivers  
reduced output power, causing VCC to drop. The LTC1559  
enters UVLO if VCC drops below VCC(rated value)  
– 9% or if the LTC1559 detects that CTL is lower than  
0.25V for two seconds, in which case “hard” reset occurs.  
after approximately 2.2 hours, equivalent to about  
512mAhr of charge.  
Upon entering recharge mode (after the main battery is  
restored) the LTC1559 connects a 16mA fast recharge  
current source from VCC to the SW pin. At the same time,  
an internal free running oscillator counts down the gas  
gaugecounterataratedesignedtotypicallyreplace160%  
of the charge previously removed from the backup cell.  
When the gas gauge counter reaches zero, the LTC1559  
reduces the charging current at the SW pin to the user-  
programmed trickle charge current level.  
The discharge time can also get abnormally long if a  
serious overload condition occurs during switching. The  
timer shuts off the P-channel pass transistor after 10µs,  
protectingtheboostconverter. TheLTC1559entersUVLO  
as VCC drops below VCC(rated value) – 9%.  
Under some circumstances, the LTC1559 can exit backup  
mode with invalid gas gauge contents. This occurs under  
three possible conditions:  
In addition, the LTC1559 has safe area operation protec-  
tionwithaninternalthermalshutdowncircuit.Ifthedevice  
is overloaded for a long period of time, the thermal  
shutdown circuit forces the LTC1559 into UVLO. The  
threshold temperature for thermal shutdown is typically  
155°C.  
1. The backup cell was completely exhausted during a  
backup cycle and the LTC1559 entered UVLO.  
2. Thebackupcellwasreplacedwhilethemainsupplywas  
disabled.  
3. A backup cycle was terminated prematurely by a “hard”  
reset or an output overload.  
The LTC1559’s boost converter is designed so that no  
current drains from the battery to the load during output  
short circuit or VCC = 0V conditions. This assures that the  
system can be powered down for a long period of time.  
Thiseliminatestheriskoffindinganonfunctioningbackup  
system upon power-up.  
Inthesecases,theLTC1559assumesthatthebackupcell  
is exhausted and presets the gas gauge counter to a  
default capacity of 128mAhr. It then initiates a recharge  
cycle.  
Setting the gas gauge to this default value results in a fast  
recharge cycle long enough to replenish 1.6 times  
128mAhr into the backup cell (13.9 hours). If the backup  
cell is actually exhausted, it will be fully recharged. If the  
battery is partially or fully charged, or is significantly  
smaller than 128mAhr capacity, the extra charging time is  
wasted. However, the LTC1559’s 16mA fast charge cur-  
rent is not high enough to damage the cell. Once the full-  
count recharge has been completed, the backup cell is  
assumed to be fully charged and subsequent backup/  
recharge cycles resume normally.  
Backup Cell Fast Recharge  
The LTC1559 includes an onboard gas gauge circuit,  
consisting of a 23-bit divider and a 9-bit up/down counter.  
The gas gauge logic assumes that the boost converter  
uses a 22µH inductor, allowing it to accurately measure  
battery charge by counting pulses. The gas gauge counts  
up from zero as charge is removed from the backup cell in  
backup mode. It takes 8.4 million 165mA boost pulses  
(low current mode) to increment the up/down counter by  
one count. In high current mode, the 330mA pulses skip  
the first two bits of the divider because each 330mA pulse  
carries four times as much energy as a 165mA pulse. At  
maximum load and VCC = 4.625V (LTC1559-5), the gas  
gauge counter will increment by one count every 7.5µs  
while the boost converter is running. Full count is reached  
Although the LTC1559 will not fully recharge backup cells  
larger than 128mAhr capacity upon power-up, it can still  
beusedwithsuchcells.Suchacellwillbefullyreplenished  
by the subsequent trickle charge cycle. Under most con-  
ditions, even a partially charged large cell will still be  
capable of supporting several hours of backup. For

CTL pin. In trickle charge mode, CTL is regulated to 0.5V,  
resulting in a CTL pin current of (VBAT – 0.5)/REXT. This  
current is internally multiplied to feed back ten times the  
R
EXT current into the backup battery. Since the LTC1559  
trickle charges only after the completion of the fast  
recharge cycle, the backup cell voltage should be very  
close to 1.2V. This simplifies the calculation of the REXT  
resistor value. For example, a 47k resistor from VBAT to  
CTL sets the trickle charge current to 150µA.  
Once it reaches full recharge, a cell bigger than 512mAhr  
will overrun the gas gauge counter before it runs out of  
charge during an extended backup cycle. The LTC1559  
gas gauge counter will not roll over if this occurs; it will  
stay at full count until the backup cycle ends and then  
partially recharge the cell with a full count cycle as above.  
Undervoltage Lockout  
The LTC1559 includes an undervoltage lockout (UVLO)  
circuit that shuts the system down gracefully if the backup  
cell is exhausted or overloaded. As described in the  
previous section, the LTC1559 terminates backup opera-  
tion and remains off until the main power supply returns.  
It then runs a fast recharge cycle to recharge the backup  
cell. An onboard low-battery comparator in the 16-pin GN  
or SO package provides an early warning signal if the  
backup cell drops below 1V.  
Very short backup cycles (<32s) may not extract enough  
charge from the backup cell to increment the gas gauge  
counter at all. To ensure that the backup cell is not slowly  
“nibbled” away, the gas gauge counter is always  
incremented by 1mAhr each time the controller exits  
backup. This ensures that the backup cell is replenished  
with at least a 1mAhr charge every time the LTC1559  
enters backup mode.  
Battery Backup Cell Trickle Charge  
The UVLO circuit trips if the LTC1559’s VCC supervisory  
circuit detects that VCC drops below 9% of the rated VCC  
voltage due to overload or output short-circuit conditions.  
Once the UVLO circuit trips, the LTC1559 asserts the  
RESET and RESET pins until the VCC voltage drops below  
1V. It then remains off until VCC rises to within 5.5% of  
the rated output voltage (LTC1559-3.3). During power-up  
from UVLO, the LTC1559 asserts the RESET and RESET  
pins until the VCC(rated value) 5.5%(LTC1559-3.3)  
threshold. Once VCC exceeds VCC(rated value) – 5.5%  
(LTC1559-3.3), the RESET and RESET pins remain  
asserted for another 200ms (“hard” reset) before being  
released to inform the system to start operating.

LTC1559 disables the boost converter if it is in backup  
mode. All signals at the CTL pin are debounced for 20ms  
to prevent multiple resets, allowing the CTL pin to be  
connected directly to a push-button to ground.  
Capacitor Selection  
The LTC1559 requires a VCC capacitor of 100µF to ensure  
that boost converter can regulate the output under maxi-  
mum load conditions. The capacitor’s ESR should be  
small (<0.2) to minimize voltage spikes that might  
incorrectly trigger the LTC1559’s internal VCC compara-  
tors. Note that the LTC1559 can usually share the output  
capacitor with the system regulator. However, a 1µF is  
recommended directly at the LTC1559’s VCC pin. The VCC  
capacitor’s ratings like VMAX, IRIPPLE(RMS) all must meet  
the system regulator’s specifications as well.  
The RESET pin is an open-drain output that requires an  
external pull-up resistor. The RESET pin is a TTL compat-  
ible CMOS output.  
Shutdown  
The 16-pin LTC1559 has a TTL compatible input, SHDN  
that shuts down the whole chip, asserts the RESET and  
RESET pins and places the CTL, VBAK and SW pins into  
high impedance states. The SHDN pin has an internal pull-  
upof8µAthatensuresthechipwillnotshutdownifthepin  
is left floating. The chip consumes less than 50µA during  
shutdown.  
Battery Selection  
A primary application for the LTC1559 is a “bridging”  
supply, only providing backup current while the main  
system battery is being replaced. In these applications,  
the LTC1559 works well with NiCd button cells or small  
cylindricalcells, reducingsystemcostsandboardspace.  
It is optimized for use with up to 512mAhr battery  
capacities.  
Although there is no SHDN pin for the SO-8 package, the  
user can shut down the part by pulling CTL to ground. The  
chip enters “hard” reset leaving only the bandgap and  
comparators alive. The charger and the boost converter

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Table 4. Button/Cylindrical NiCd 1.2V Cells  
The LTC1559 works with standard or memory backup  
specific NiCd cells. Memory backup cells can operate at  
higher temperatures and have lower self-discharge rates.  
The LTC1559’s trickle charger is designed to accommo-  
date both memory backup cells (with low self-discharge)  
and standard cells (with higher self-discharge). Some  
recommendedmanufacturersandpartnumbersarelisted  
in Table 4.

The internal resistance of the backup cell increases power  
dissipation as the boost converter draws current from it  
during switching, degrading efficiency. Due to the fixed  
inductor peak current architecture, the LTC1559’s boost  
converter output power drops significantly when the NiCd  
cell’s internal resistance increases at the end of its charge.  
The inductor charging time increases due to a larger R/L  
time constant, decreasing the switching frequency. It is  
advisable, especially for batteries with high internal resis-  
tance, to include a 1µF or larger bypass capacitor across  
the battery to ensure that the boost converter can deliver  
the maximum output power regardless of the NiCd inter-  
nal resistance.
