The LTC®1558 is a backup battery controller that provides
all the functions necessary to implement a backup power
supply using a single NiCd cell. It includes a 1.2V boost
converter, an intelligent 2-stage battery charger, automatic backup switching and a microprocessor 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.
The on-chip NiCd charger uses an internal gas gauge to
minimize fast recharge time and prevent overcharging of
the backup cell. The LTC1558 also provides a user programmable trickle charge current to compensate for self
discharge losses in the backup cell.
The LTC1558’s automatic backup switching architecture
requires minimum intervention from the host system and
provides feedback to the host to minimize system loading
in the backup state. Its internal VCC fault detector and reset
generator eliminate the need for a separate microprocessor supervisory chip in most applications.
The LTC1558 is available in an SO-8, 16-lead GN or SO
package.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin Numbers are Shown First for the SO-8 Package
Then the GN16 and S16 Packages
SW (Pins 1/1, 2): Boost Converter Switching Node. Connect a 22µH inductor from SW to the positive terminal of
the backup cell. In backup mode, this node is alternately
switched between ground and VBAK, generating the backup
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.
During power-up or undervoltage lockout (UVLO), the SW
pin enters a high impedance state.
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 SO-8.
CTL (Pins 3/5): Control. This pin provides three functions.
In backup mode this pin enters a high impedance state and
monitors the backup battery cell voltage (VBAT). If VBAT
drops below 0.9V, the LTC1558 enters into UVLO. During
trickle charge mode, an external resistor REXT sets the
trickle charge current. In all modes, pulling the CTL pin
below 250mV will generate either a “soft” or “hard” reset
pulse. See the Applications Information section for more
information.
FB (Pins 4/7): Output Voltage Feedback. This pin is fed to
the LTC1558’s internal comparators. The boost converter’s
output voltage is set with an external resistor divider
connected from VBAK to FB. The LTC1558 enters backup
mode when FB drops 7.5% below the internal reference
voltage (VREF). During backup, the boost converter runs
whenever FB drops below this (VREF – 7.5%) threshold.
The LTC1558 exits backup mode when FB rises above
(VREF – 6%).
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 generated if the CTL pin is pulled low for more than two seconds
(“hard” reset) or when the LTC1558 comes out of UVLO.
The “hard reset” stops the internal boost converter if it is
running. This pin is held low whenever the LTC1558 is in
UVLO and is guaranteed to be valid when VCC is greater
than or equal to 1V.
RESET also provides a low going 100µs signal if the CTL
pin is pulled low for less than two seconds (“soft” reset).
Unlike hard reset, soft reset does not affect the LTC1558’s
current operating mode.
BACKUP (Pins 6/13): Backup Active. This is an open-drain
output that pulls low unless the LTC1558 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 input. A 12V Zener diode is connected internally to this pin to act as a voltage clamp. See the
Applications Information section for more details.
VCC (Pins 7/14): Power Supply Input. All internal circuits
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 LTC1558 monitors VCC.If
VCC drops below the rated output voltage by greater than
9%, the LTC1558 enters UVLO mode and RESET is asserted. The LTC1558 will only exit from UVLO if VCC rises
to greater than – 6% of the rated output voltage. See the
Applications Information section for more details.
VBAK (Pins 8/15,16): Backup Supply Output. The LTC1558’s
boost converter provides regulated output voltage to the
system through VBAK during backup mode.
16-Pin GN and SO Package
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 LTC1558 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.

PIN FUNCTIONS
LOBAT (Pin 9): Low-Battery Detector Output. This is an
open-drain output that pulls low when the backup cell
drops below 1V. It gives early warning to the system
controller that the backup cell is getting weak. This pin is
disabled when the LTC1558 is in trickle charge mode.
RESET (Pin 12): System Reset, Active High. This is a TTLcompatible output driver. It can be used to connect to
systems that require active high logic. The RESET output
will go high whenever RESET is pulled low. If RESET is
externally pulled low, RESET will go high.

3. The LTC1558’s internal bandgap wakes up. The
LTC1558’s internal boost converter does not turn on as
RESET remains asserted. Once VFB is greater than
(VREF – 6%), BACKUP is deasserted after the tPHL delay
time. QEXT turns on and VBAK = VBAT.
1. The VBAT voltage increases and turns on the QEXT body
diode. VBAK follows VBAT by one body diode drop.
2. VBAK increases above the system regulator’s minimum
input voltage. The system regulator wakes up and
starts ramping up the system power supply. RESET
remains asserted from VCC = 1V.
4. RESET is asserted for a further 200ms after VCC

Backup Mode Description
1. Trigger into Backup Mode. The main battery fails and
VFB drops 7.5% below the LTC1558’s internal VREF. The
BACKUP pin is asserted after a tRISE delay time and the
LTC1558’s boost converter is turned on.
2. Backup Mode. The LTC1558’s boost converter charges
and discharges the inductor with 165mA peak current.
If VFB doesn’t recover above (VREF – 7.5%) (due to a
heavy load), the boost converter increases peak charging current to 330mA. When V FB rises above
(VREF – 7.5%), the boost converter stops but the
BACKUP pin remains asserted.
3. Recovery from Backup Mode. While the boost converter is running, the main battery is restored. This
causes the external MOSFET’s body diode to conduct
and VFB is pulled higher than (VREF – 6%). BACKUP
deasserts and the boost converter finishes its last cycle.
4. Trigger into UVLO. During backup, the 1.2V NiCd cell
grows weak and its terminal voltage falls. The LOBAT
pin is asserted to give an early warning when the cell
voltage drops below 1V. RESET is asserted when the
cell voltage drops below 0.9V and the LTC1558 enters
UVLO mode.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Overview
The LTC1558 is a versatile backup battery control system
designed to provide all the functions necessary to implement a complete, highly integrated backup system within
a single chip. It allows the system to maintain its rated
supply voltage during backup, offering maximum system
design flexibility. The LTC1558 allows the use of a low cost
rechargeable NiCd cell for backup, eliminating the need for
expensive, replaceable 4.5V lithium backup cells.
The LTC1558 includes an onboard boost converter designed to generate an adjustable voltage (3V to 10V) from
a single 1.2V NiCd cell. This voltage is connected to the
system’s DC/DC converter input, enabling the system to
continue operation when the main battery 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 externally
adjustable trickle charge circuit maintains the cell charge
after the fast charge cycle has completed, minimizing
drain from the main battery during standby.
Included in the LTC1558 is a complete backup circuit that
monitors the main system power and automatically
switches in the backup circuit as the primary power supply
falls away (due to a weak or disconnected main battery).
The LTC1558 also performs VCC supervisory functions
during normal system operations. An LTC1558-3.3 monitors a 3.3V supply voltage at its VCC pin whereas an
LTC1558-5 monitors a 5V supply at its VCC pin. In both
cases, the LTC1558 derives power for the majority of the
internal circuitry (except for the boost converter) from the
VCC pin. Table 1 shows the signal conditions for the
LTC1558’s various operating modes. Note that VCC in
Table 1 refers to the rated VCC voltage, 3.3V or 5V.
Boost Converter Operation
The LTC1558 uses an onboard synchronous 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 by the external divider connected
to the FB pin, supports the main system regulator during

backup. It can supply a minimum backup power of
100mW. The boost converter operates in a modified pulse
skipping mode; each switch cycle transfers a known
amount of charge from the backup cell to the regulated
output. This prevents uncontrolled discharge of the backup
cell and allows the LTC1558 to accurately measure the
charge removed from the backup cell by counting the
charge pulses.
The LTC1558 enters backup mode when the main battery
voltage drops. As shown in Figure 1, the main battery
voltage is scaled down by an external resistor divider and
fed to the LTC1558’s backup comparators. These compare the scaled voltage with an internal trimmed VREF
(1.272V), switching the LTC1558 into backup mode
when VFB drops 7.5% below VREF. Upon entering backup
mode, the BACKUP pin is asserted and the internal boost
converter turns on. The BACKUP signal is used to turn off
the external P-channel MOSFET, isolating the main battery from the LTC1558 and the system regulator’s input.
The LTC1558’s boost converter will charge the input
capacitor CIN of the system regulator until VFB rises
above (VREF – 7.5%).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Once VFB rises above (VREF – 7.5%), the LTC1558’s boost
converter deactivates and the freshly charged input
capacitor supplies power to the system regulator. The
cycle repeats again when the input capacitor’s charge is
drained away and VFB again drops below (VREF – 7.5%).
The BACKUP pin remains asserted until the main battery
is restored. This ensures that the LTC1558 does not switch
in and out of backup mode unnecessarily.
The LTC1558’s boost converter minimizes output ripple
under light load conditions by reducing the charge transferred for the first two consecutive switch cycles. When
VFB falls below (VREF – 7.5%), the boost operation starts
by connecting the SW pin to ground through an internal
0.5Ω N-channel MOSFET (N1 in the Block Diagram). The
current through the external 22µH inductor rises linearly
through this switch.

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 VFB exceeds the (VREF – 7.5%) boost
threshold, the LTC1558 stops the boost converter and
resets the internal two pulse counter. The next time VFB
falls below (VREF – 7.5%), the boost converter restarts in
low current mode for at least two boost cycles. Moderate
or changing loads will cause the LTC1558 to shift between
the two peak inductor current limits, keeping the output in
tight regulation. Near its maximum load capability, the
LTC1558 will stay in 330mA high current mode and the
output voltage VBAK will hover around the user programmed value.
1558 F02
Figure 2. Inductor Current During Switching
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 2Ω P-channel MOSFET (P1 in
the Block Diagram). The inductor current discharges
through P1, charging up the capacitor connected externally to VBAK (CIN of the system regulator, Figure 1). The
inductor current falls at a rate proportional to the difference 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 LTC1558 looks at the FB pin voltage.
If VFB has increased above the (VREF – 7.5%) threshold,
the boost converter shuts off both switches and waits for
VFB to drop below (VREF – 7.5%) again.
If VFB is still less than (VREF – 7.5%) after the first boost
cycle, the LTC1558 immediately reconnects SW to ground,
repeating the boost cycle. If after two consecutive pulses,
VFB is still not above the boost threshold (VREF – 7.5%),
the LTC1558 decides that the load is not so light after all,
The type of output capacitor and the user programmed
VBAK value will affect the LTC1558’s output ripple and
efficiency. In most applications, the main VBAK capacitor
is primarily determined by the requirements of the main
power supply. Such a capacitor will generally meet the
requirements of the LTC1558. In unusual circumstances
or circuits where the main system regulator’s input capacitor is located some distance away from the LTC1558,
a local output capacitor may be necessary.

Figure 3. VBAK Ripple
The maximum ripple on the VBAK pin is equal to capacitor
ESR voltage drop due to the boost converter’s output

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

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
proportional to the difference between VBAK (3V to 10V)
and the battery cell voltage, VBAT (1.2V).
Assuming ESR = 0.2Ω, IIND(PEAK) = 330mA, VBAK = 6V,
VRIPPLE(P-P) = (IIND(PEAK))(RESR(CAP))
= (330mA)(0.2Ω)
= 66mV
Since VBAK must be scaled down to VFB, the external
resistor ratio
= 6V/1.272V
= 4.717
Therefore the noise amplitude seen by the FB comparators is:
= 66mV/4.717
= 14mV
The discharge time period,
tDISCH = (L • IIND(PEAK))/(VBAK – VBAT)
= (22µH • 330mA)/(6V – 1.2V)
= 1.5µs
For lowest VBAK = 3V and maximum IIND(PEAK) = 445mA,
VRIPPLE(P-P) = 89mV
RB resistor ratio = 2.358
Noise amplitude = 37.7mV
tDISCH = 5µs
The internal VFB comparators are designed to have a slow
response time to filter away this ripple. The (VREF – 6%)
FB comparator has a 6µs rising edge delay and 2µs falling
edge delay. The (VREF – 7.5%) FB comparator has a
similar 6µs rising time delay but a much longer falling
time delay of 20µs. This enables the comparator to
control the booster properly, and avoids turning off the
boost converter prematurely due to false triggering by
the ESR ripple.
Exit from Backup
When a new battery is inserted into the system, the higher
main battery voltage turns on the external P-channel
MOSFET’s body diode and raises VBAK (and VFB) to a
higher voltage. The LTC1558 detects the return of the main
10
battery by watching for VFB to exceed (VREF – 6%). The
LTC1558 then stops its internal boost converter and
begins to recharge the NiCd cell. BACKUP is deasserted to
signal to the system controller to restore system loading
and resume normal operations. At the same time, the
external P-channel MOSFET is driven by the BACKUP
signal. The P-channel MOSFET turns on and allows the
main battery to bypass its body diode and drive the system
regulator directly.
Since the user can replace the main battery anytime during
the LTC1558’s backup operations, the BACKUP signal
may be deasserted while the boost converter is switching.
To prevent the potential problem of residual energy in the
inductor, the LTC1558 will only stop the boost converter
after it has completed the current boost cycle.
UVLO Lockout Under Excessive Backup Load
Very heavy loads (above the LTC1558’s maximum power
output) will pull the boost converter’s output below the
boost threshold. Under these conditions, the LTC1558’s
boost converter will continue to supply 330mA current
pulses to the system regulator while charge on the VBAK
capacitor (CIN) drains away. The system regulator will not
maintain its output regulation and the system VCC will
drop. When VCC drops below – 9% of the rated voltage for
more than 9µs, the LTC1558’s VCC supervisory circuit
activates UVLO mode, shutting off the boost converter and
asserting the RESET pins. The 9µs delay prevents the
LTC1558 from being fooled by brief transients or noise
spikes on its VCC pin. Upon receipt of the reset signals, the
host system should shut down in a orderly manner. The
LTC1558’s VCC supervisory circuit will remain alive until
VCC is less than 1V to ensure valid reset pin signals.
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 LTC1558 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 pins. Since the CTL pin can also be connected
to an external pushbutton reset, the LTC1558 includes
LTC1558-3.3/LTC1558-5
U
W
U
U
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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 pushbutton 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 LTC1558 will treat this as a “hard” reset after 2
seconds.
The LTC1558’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.
This eliminates the risk of finding a nonfunctioning backup
system upon power-up.
An optional LOBAT output, available in the 16-pin GN or SO
package, can be used to signal the system when the cell
voltage falls below 1V, giving an early warning that the
backup cell is heavily discharged. The LOBAT output is
disabled when the LTC1558 is in trickle charge mode
because the CTL pin is pulled to 0.5V by the LTC1558.
The LTC1558 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 estimate battery
charge by counting switch pulses. The gas gauge counts
up from zero as charge is removed from the backup cell in
backup mode. It takes roughly 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 = 5V, the gas
gauge divider will increment by one count every 7.5µs
while the boost converter is running. Full count is reached
after approximately 2.2 hours, equivalent to about 512mAhr
of charge.
Fault Protection and Thermal Limit
The LTC1558’s boost converter incorporates two internal
timers that turn off the switch transistors if the inductor
charge or discharge time gets abnormally long.
The inductor charge time may get abnormally long if the
NiCd cell voltage drops below 0.25V without triggering the
0.25V < VBAT < 0.9V low cell voltage comparator. In this
case, the NiCd cell is assumed to be damaged and the
LTC1558’s priority is shutting down the system gracefully. 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 LTC1558
will enter UVLO either when V CC drops below
(VCC(RATED VOLTAGE) – 9%) or after the LTC1558 detects
CTL lower than 0.25V for 2 seconds, in which case “hard”
reset occurs.
The discharging time can also get abnormally long if a
serious overload condition occurs during switching. The
timer will shut off the P-channel pass transistor after 10µs,
protecting the boost converter. The LTC1558 will end up
in UVLO as VCC drops below (VCC(RATED VOLTAGE) – 9%).
In addition, the LTC1558 is protected for safe area operation with an internal thermal shutdown circuit. If the device
is overloaded for a long period of time, the thermal
shutdown circuit forces the LTC1558 into UVLO. The
threshold temperature for thermal shutdown is typically
155°C.
Backup Cell Fast Recharge
Upon entering recharge mode (after the main battery is
restored) the LTC1558 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
gauge counter at a rate designed to replace about 160% of
the charge previously removed from the backup cell.
When the gas gauge counter reaches zero, the LTC1558
reduces the charging current at the SW pin to the userprogrammed trickle charge current level.
Under some circumstances, the LTC1558 can exit the
backup mode with invalid gas gauge contents. This can
occur under three possible conditions:
a) The backup cell was completely exhausted during a
backup cycle and the LTC1558 entered UVLO.
b) The backup cell was replaced while the main supply was
disabled.
c) A backup cycle was terminated prematurely by a “hard”
reset or an output overload.
11
LTC1558-3.3/LTC1558-5
U
W
U
U
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
In these cases, the LTC1558 assumes that the backup cell
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
of charge 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
will be wasted. However, the LTC1558’s 15mA fast charge
current should not be 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.
Although the LTC1558 will not fully recharge backup cells
larger than 128mAhr capacity upon power-up, it can still
be used with such cells. Such a cell will be fully replenished
by the subsequent trickle charge cycle. Under most conditions, even a partially charged large cell will still be
capable of supporting several hours of backup. For example, a small 60mAhr button cell can back up the system
for 20 minutes at an output power of 100mW. Note that at
lower programmed VBAK values, the boost converter efficiency improves and allows more backup time from the
same cell compared to a higher VBAK value.
Once it reaches full recharge, a cell bigger than 512mAhr
is likely to overrun the gas gauge counter before it runs out
of charge during an extended backup cycle. The LTC1558
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.
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 comes out
of backup. This ensures that the backup cell is always
replenished with at least a 1mAhr charge every time the
LTC1558 enters backup mode.
12
Battery Backup Cell Trickle Charge
When the gas gauge counter reaches zero, the LTC1558
terminates fast recharge and reduces the recharge current
to the user-programmed trickle current level. The LTC1558
provides a trickle current that the user can program from
50µA to 2mA. The trickle current is set by an external
resistor from the positive terminal of the backup cell to the
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
REXT current into the backup battery. Since the LTC1558
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 approximately 150µA.

Undervoltage Lockout
The LTC1558 includes an undervoltage lockout (UVLO)

terminate backup operation and remain 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 when the backup cell drops below 1V.
The UVLO circuit also trips if the LTC1558’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 LTC1558 asserts
the RESET pins until the VCC voltage drops below 1V. It will
then remain off until VCC rises to within (VCC – 6%) of the
rated output voltage. During power-up from UVLO, the
LTC1558 asserts the RESET pins until the (VCC – 6%)
threshold. Once VCC exceeds (VCC – 6%), the RESET pins
remain asserted for another 200ms (“hard” reset) before
being released to inform the system to start operating.
Reset Operation
The LTC1558 includes an onboard pushbutton reset switch
controller. If the CTL pin is pulled to ground (< 250mV) by
a pushbutton or an open-drain output, the LTC1558 generates a pulse at the RESETpins after the trailing edge of

The RESET pin is an open-drain output that requires an

Shutdown
The 16-pin LTC1558 has a TTL-compatible input, SHDN,
that shuts down the whole chip, asserts the RESET pins
and places the CTL, VBAK and SW pins into high impedance
states. The SHDN pin has an internal pull-up that ensures
the chip will not shut down if the pin is left floating. The
SHDN pin typically draws 8µA when pulled low at VCC = 5V.
The chip consumes less than 50µA during shutdown while
VCC is still alive.
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
shut off completely. Note that the backup cell slowly
discharges through REXT in this mode.

the LTC1558 will disable the boost converter if it is in

The LTC1558 is designed to operate with a recommended
inductor value of 22µH (±20%) with < 0.2Ω DC resistance.
Using inductor values higher than 22µH will deliver more
output power but will cause the gas gauge counter to
count inaccurately and under recharge the backup cell. At
the same time, the N-channel transistor timer will limit the
peak current if the charging time becomes overextended
due to the higher inductor value. Using inductor values
lower than 22µH will degrade the boost converter’s maximum output power and cause the gas gauge counter to
overcharge the backup cell. Table 2 lists the recommended surface mount inductor part numbers.

Capacitor Selection
The LTC1558 requires a minimum VBAK capacitor of 44µF
to ensure that the boost converter can regulate the output
at 20mA load. The capacitor’s ESR should be small (< 0.2Ω)
to minimize voltage spikes that might incorrectly trigger
the LTC1558’s internal FB comparators. Note that the
LTC1558 can usually share the output capacitor with the
system regulator. Thus its ratings like VMAX, IRIPPLE(RMS),
etc., will all have to meet the system regulator’s specifications as well.
Battery Selection
A primary application for the LTC1558 is a “bridging”
supply, only providing backup current while the main
system battery is being replaced. In these applications,
the LTC1558 works well with NiCd button cells or small
cylindrical cells, reducing system costs and board space.
It is optimized for use with up to 512mAhr battery
capacities.
The LTC1558 can work with standard or memory backup
specific NiCd cells. Memory backup cells can operate at
higher temperatures and have lower self discharge rates.
The LTC1558’s trickle charger is designed to accommodate both memory backup cells (with low self discharge)
and standard cells (with higher self discharge). Some
recommended manufacturers and part numbers are listed
in Table 3.

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 LTC1558’s boost
converter output power drops significantly when the NiCd
cell’s internal resistance increases at the end of its charge.
This is because the inductor charging time will increase
due to a larger R/L time constant, decreasing the switching
frequency. It is advisable, especially for batteries with high
internal resistance, to include a 47µF bypass capacitor
across the battery to ensure that the boost converter can
deliver the maximum output power regardless of the NiCd
internal resistance.

Typical “Medium Voltage” Application
The maximum main battery voltage is more than the
maximum VBAK pin voltage (12V). This configuration is
needed for most notebook computers that have 3-cell or
4-cell series connected lithium battery packs.
The Schottky diode D11 (1N5818) prevents the main
battery’s high terminal voltage from overstressing the
LTC1558’s VBAK pin during nonbackup conditions. An
internal Zener inside the LTC1558 will clamp VBAK to 12V
when the 1N5818’s reverse bias leakage current
increases at high temperature.

A 100k pull-up resistor enables the LTC1558’s open-drain
BACKUP pin to turn the external P-channel MOSFET off
during backup mode, even when VBAK is higher than VCC.
The main battery pack should have an internal control to
shut itself down once its energy is used up. This prevents
the lithium cells from deep discharge damage. Once the
main battery shuts down, the FB voltage drops and the
LTC1558 switches to backup mode.

Typical “High Voltage” Application
The maximum main battery voltage is 48V.
The Schottky diode D11 (MBR170) prevents the main
battery’s high terminal voltage from overstressing the
LTC1558’s VBAK pin during nonbackup conditions. An
internal Zener inside the LTC1558 will clamp VBAK to 12V
when the MBR170’s reverse bias leakage current
increases at high temperature.
As shown above, the design must ensure that VBAT does
not force the external P-channel MOSFET’s VGS above its
maximum rating (15V for the MTD2955E) shown during
nonbackup mode.
During nonbackup mode, the LTC1558’s open-drain
BACKUP pin is low. The external 12V Zener and 2N3906
conduct and the MTD2955E’s VGS is clamped at approximately 12V. During backup, the BACKUP pin floats and the
2N3906’s base voltage is pushed nearer to VBAK. The
MTD2955E is effectively turned off, isolating the main
battery from VBAK during backup.
The main battery pack should have an internal control to
shut itself down once its energy is used up. This prevents
it from deep discharge damage.
