DESCRIPTION
The LT ®1239 is a micropower backup battery manage-
ment system for portable computers and instrumenta-
tion. It contains two regulators for regulating the battery
voltage and memory voltage and a comparator for switch-
ing between main power and backup power. The first
regulator provides a constant voltage charge for the
backup batteries and is adjustable from 3.75V up to 20V.
An equalization amplifier combined with the first regulator
provides precision charge equalization for a 2-cell
lithium-ion system. A second regulator with 4.85V output
provides a regulated backup battery voltage to the memory
when main power is lost. The second regulator also
isolates the backup battery from the main 5V supply
during normal operation when the memory is being pow-
ered by the 5V supply.
A comparator is included which provides automatic
switchover from main 5V power to backup power ensur-
ing uninterrupted power for memory and power monitor-
, LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
