MEMORY BACKUP
The DS1238A provides all of the necessary functions required to battery back a static RAM. First, an
internal switch is provided to supply SRAM power from the primary 5-volt supply (V

FRESHNESS SEAL
In order to conserve battery capacity during initial construction of an end system, the DS1238A provides
a freshness seal that electrically disconnects the battery. This means that upon battery attachment, the

and cannot be invoked again without subsequent removal and reattachment of the battery.
POWER SWITCHING
When larger operating currents are required in a battery-backed system, the internal switching devices of
the DS1238A may be too small to support the required load through V
For these applications, the PF output is provided to gate external power switching devices. As shown in
Figure 8, power to the load is switched from V
power-up. The DS1336 is designed to use the PF output to switch between V
better leakage and switchover performance than currently available discrete components. The transition
threshold for PF is set to the external battery voltage V
Any load applied to the PF pin by an external switch will be supplied by the battery. Therefore, if a
discrete switch is used, this load should be taken into consideration when sizing the battery.
