Abstract

See full text

Backup battery switching circuitry for a microcomputer or a microprocessor includes circuitry for selectively coupling a backup battery to a power supply output terminal of the microcomputer or microprocessor for powering an external circuit such as a static RAM. The backup battery voltage is normally coupled to the power supply output terminal in the absence of a primary power source, but may be isolated from the power supply output terminal when a predetermined voltage is applied to a logic input pin and a predetermined sequence of events is executed by the microcomputer or microprocessor.
