4.3 Power Control
4.3.1 Backup Battery Charger
If the backup battery is rechargeable, it can be recharged from the main battery. A programmable voltage
regulator powered by the main battery allows recharging of the backup battery. The backup battery charge
must be enabled using a control bit register. Recharging starts when two conditions are met:
• Main battery voltage > backup battery voltage
• Main battery > 3.2 V
The comparators of the backup battery system (BBS) give the two thresholds of the backup battery charge
startup. The programmed voltage for the charger gives the end-of-charge threshold. The programmed
current for the charger gives the charge current.
Overcharging is prevented by measurement of the backup battery voltage through the GP ADC.
Table 4-19 lists the characteristics of the backup battery charger.
