CBC-EVAL-05
EnerChip™ CC CBC3112 & CBC3150 Evaluation Kit
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.

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.
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
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.
