B.2.3 Battery-Backup Circuit
Figure B-3 shows the battery-backup circuit located on the OP7200’s RabbitCore module.
Figure B-3. OP7200 Backup Battery Circuit
The battery-backup circuit serves three purposes:
• It reduces the battery voltage to the SRAM and to the real-time clock, thereby limiting
the current consumed by the real-time clock and lengthening the battery life.
• It ensures that current can flow only out of the battery to prevent charging the battery.
• A voltage, VOSC, is supplied to U6, which keeps the 32.768 kHz oscillator working
when the voltage begins to drop.
VRAM and Vcc are nearly equal (<100 mV, typically 10 mV) when power is supplied to
the OP7200.
