EnerChip™ CC Evaluation Kit

"Cymbet and Digi-Key introduce the EnerChip™ CC Evaluation Kit"
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 this event and route the battery voltage to VOUT. The 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.

Features

The CBC-EVAL-05 board can be used in seven different ways:

1. CBC3150 only - Connect to pins 1-12.

2. CBC3112 only - Connect to pins 13-24 or rotate the EVAL-05 so that pin 13 is inserted into socket pin 1 2. and connect to pins 1-12 on EVAL-05.

3. CBC050 only - the EnerChip 50 μAh battery is tested alone. Do not connect pins 1 and 4 together; pin 1 is 3. the positive EnerChip terminal and can be charged and discharged independently of the integrated battery management circuitry. See the CBC050 data sheet for EnerChip operating and use conditions.

4. CBC012 only - the Enerchip 12 μAh battery is tested alone. Do not connect pins 13 and 16 together; pin 4. 13 is the positive EnerChip terminal and can be charged and discharged independently of the integrated battery management circuitry. See the CBC012 data sheet for EnerChip operating and use conditions.

5. CBC3150 controlling the CBC012 - The CBC3150 can be used to control external EnerChips, including the 5. CBC012 embedded in the CBC3112 package on board the EVAL-05. This is accomplished by connecting pin 4 (VCHG) to pin 13 (VBAT).

6. CBC3112 controlling the CBC050 - The CBC3112 can be used to control external EnerChips, including the 6. CBC050 embedded in the CBC3150 package on board the EVAL-05. This is accomplished by connecting pin 16 (VCHG) to pin 1 (VBAT).

7. CBC3112 and CBC3150 simultaneously - Connect the two 7. VBAT pins (1 and 13) together and tie them to either VCHG pin (not both). Leave the other VCHG disconnected from the circuit.
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.
