Cymbet Launches CBC3105 Uninterruptible Power Supply in a Chip

Cymbet Corporation announced the availability of the EnerChip CC CBC3105 smart solid state battery. The CBC3105 combines the award-winning EnerChip battery with integrated input power conversion, battery management and regulated output capabilities.

The Cymbet EnerChip CC is a smart rechargeable solid state battery Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS in a Chip) that provides power backup to microelectronic devices when main power fails. The EnerChip CC provides power supply monitoring and switches over to the internal solid state backup battery when the supply drops below a set threshold. The EnerChip CC product family can provide anywhere from several hours to several weeks of backup time.

The CBC3105 is an ideal solution for design engineers who need a compact device to back-up a real time clock or microcontroller during power failure where coin cell batteries or super caps will not work due to size, reliability, no battery doors, no battery replacement, battery disposal issues, or need for life-of-product power. The CBC3105 uses surface mount/reflow solder assembly and is RoHS tested-compliant.

Cymbet makes it easy to design EnerChips into new products by offering two EnerChip CC evaluation kits: CBC-EVAL-05 EnerChip CC Evaluation Kit and CBC-EVAL-06 Real-Time-Clock Evaluation Kit.

“Included with all Cymbet evaluation kits are full datasheets and application notes that include reference designs and schematics,” said Steve Grady, vice president of marketing at Cymbet. “We provide all the information designers need for easy EnerChip integration into their new products.”

At booth 2330 at Design West/ESC 2012 at the San Jose Convention Center March 27-29, 2012, Cymbet will demonstrate tiny footprint power backup solutions that give designers the ability to create optimized products. By providing all the functions of a UPS system in a single chip, the EnerChip CC batteries enable a new class of products that utilize life-of-product energy storage.
