Application Note  
Using the Atmel® picoPower™ AVR® Microcontroller  
with Cymbet™ EnerChips™  
A Demonstration Vehicle for Cymbet Solid State Thin Film Rechargeable Batteries  
Consideration needs to be given to the minimum voltage needed  
by the system to run off backup power, on how to switch between  
main power and backup power, and on how to signal the  
microcontroller that it will be running off backup power. Special  
algorithms may be used so that the microcontroller sheds loads  
and puts itself into a low-power sleep mode during backup.  
The power-fail sensing circuit must not feed power back into the  
main power bus when the system switches over to the EnerChip  
for backup power. In the Demo Board, a 4.7 MOhm resistor is  
used to limit current on the VREF line to 500 nA. A diode would  
have eliminated all current leakage and have been an even better  
choice.

Introduction  
The Cymbet EnerChip and Atmel picoPower AVR are combined  
in a demonstration board designed to show the advantages of  
Cymbet EnerChip rechargeable batteries for embedded processor  
applications. Cymbet EnerChips provide virtually unlimited  
system life. They are smaller, lighter and environmentally  
friendlier than primary lithium coin cells for backup power. The  
demo board consists of an Atmel Atmega169P picoPower AVR  
microcontroller with integrated LCD controller, Cymbet EnerChip  
cells, and a Cymbet charge control circuit.  
Figure 2. Charge Controller Block Diagram.  
Charge Circuit Description  
The charge circuit in Figure 4 meets all key system requirements.  
It is powered by two lithium coin cells, so that no boost charge  
pump is needed. Charge voltage regulation utilizes a Zetex  
ZR40401F41TA shunt voltage regulator, but could also have  
used a low IQ LDO, such as a TI TPS715XX regulator.  
Current blocking to prevent the EnerChip from being discharged  
when main power is off is implemented with transistors Q2, Q3,  
and Q5. Transistors Q3 and Q5 are dual packaged devices, with  
the two transistors wired in series so that the off-state leakage  
current is negligible for a µAh-rated EnerChip.  
System Considerations  
Cymbet EnerChips are ideal for applications requiring a high  
number of charge/discharge cycles, such as backing up  
microcontrollers during intermittent power outages. Such systems  
will need a charge controller to keep the EnerChip at a full state of  
charge without overcharging the battery and thereby reducing its  
useful life. The charge circuit will need a source of voltage higher  
than the EnerChip charging voltage of 4.1V. This may require a  
charge pump. The charge circuit must regulate the charge voltage  
and have a means of isolating itself from the EnerChip (current  
blocking) to prevent the EnerChip from discharging through the  
charge circuit when system power is off. Isolation from the main  
power supply and voltage reduction from the battery output to the  
load may also be necessary.  
PNP transistor Q2 is used as a comparator to shut off the charge  
circuit when the input voltage falls below 4.8V (4.1V plus the  
VBE of the transistor). When Q2 turns off, N-channel FET Q3 is  
turned off, which then turns off P-channel FET Q5.
