Preliminary CBC-EVAL-06 EnerChip™ CC Real-Time Clock Evaluation Kit System Features and Overview CBC-EVAL-06 is a demonstration kit featuring the Cymbet EnerChip CBC3112 backup power and battery management circuit coupled with the Micro Crystal low power RV-2123 real-time clock (RTC) with integrated crystal. The kit demonstrates just how compact an RTC and backup power solution can be using the low profile surface mount devices from Cymbet and Micro Crystal. The combined board space of the two-chip solution including RTC, crystal oscillator, rechargeable backup power source, and power management circuits, is only 0.65 cm2. CBC-EVAL-06 has the following elements: • Solid state rechargeable energy storage in low profile surface mount package, for real-time clock backup power • Integrated battery management that controls battery charging and discharge cutoff, ensuring maximum service life of on-board storage cells • Integrated real-time clock and crystal oscillator in small ceramic surface mount package with SPI bus • USB connector for easy demonstration on personal computer • Input/output access to board for easy connection to external microcontroller Figure 1: CBC-EVAL-06 Demo Kit. Smallest RTC Power Backup Footprint As shown above in Figure 1, the CBC-EVAL-06 demonstrates an extremely compact RTC power backup solution. The EnerChip CC CBC3112 is on the left and the Micro Crystal 2123 is on the right inside the white box. The block diagram of this simple two chip solution is shown in Figure 2.

EVAL-06 Graphical User Interface The CBC-EVAL-06 includes an easy to use PC based software application that communicates with the USB stick. Users can set the time of day, date and countdown timer values to experiment with RTC power-backup. The software works with Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 7 operating systems. Once the EVAL-06 USB stick is inserted into the PC, the Connect button is clicked in the GUI. This establishes communication over the USB port and the time, date and countdown selections are written to the RTC. The EVAL-06 can then be removed from the PC and the RTC will be powered by the EnerChip CC CBC3112. ©2010 Cymbet Corporation • Tel: +1-763-633-1780 • www.cymbet.com DS-72-22 Rev C Page 1 of 11 CBC-EVAL-06 EnerChip CC RTC Evaluation Kit CBC-EVAL-06 Module Connector, Jumpers, and Test Points J1 CN1 J2 J8 J7 J4 J5 J6 J3 Figure 3: Locations of Connector and Jumpers.

The following window should appear. Plug in the EVAL-06 USB stick into a PC USB Port. Click ‘Connect’ on the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The System time will appear. ©2011 Cymbet Corporation • Tel: +1-763-633-1780 • www.cymbet.com DS-72-22 Rev C Page 8 of 11 CBC-EVAL-06 EnerChip CC RTC Evaluation Kit Click ‘RTC EC Power’ to disable power from the dongle. Power LED will turn off. Click RTC EC Power to again apply power to the dongle. To use Countdown Timer or clock settings, open ‘RTC Control’ menu. Select either option. RTC Countdown Timer option allows user to apply a value from 0 to 255 in ‘Secs’ field. Alternatively, the ‘Set RTC Date/Time’ option allows the user to set a specific date and time. Enter any arbitrary date and time as the starting time. Once countdown timer or date and time have been set, the CBC3112 EnerChip can be used to maintain the timer or time by either disabling power from the dongle by clicking the ‘RTC EC Power’ button or removing the dongle from the USB port. In the absence of USB power, the CBC3112 will provide power to the RV-2123 RTC for up to 100 hours. Simply re-insert the dongle or re-apply power to verify that the countdown timer or time and date were maintained while the dongle was not under USB power. ©2011 Cymbet Corporation • Tel: +1-763-633-1780 • www.cymbet.com DS-72-22 Rev C Page 9 of 11 CBC-EVAL-06 EnerChip CC RTC Evaluation Kit CBC-EVAL-06 Circuit Schematic The schematic of Figure 4 depicts the portion of the CBC-EVAL-06 including the EnerChip CC and the RTC module which is the top side of the USB stick.
