The NBM7100A/B is a battery energy management
device designed to maximize usable capacity from
non-rechargeable, primary batteries when used in low-
voltage, low-power applications requiring burst current
loads. The devices overcome voltage drop and battery
life limitations associated with extracting high pulse
currents (Fig. 1) from lithium primary batteries such
as 3 V lithium manganese dioxide (LiMnO2) coin cells.
which are commonly used in wireless, low-power IoT
sensor applications.

The NBM7100A/B contains two stages of high
efficiency DC-DC conversion and an intelligent learning
algorithm. The first stage DC-DC conversion transfers
energy from the lithium battery at a low constant
current to a capacitive storage element. Once charged,
a second DC-DC conversion cycle utilizes this stored
energy to supply a regulated voltage with high pulse
load current capability on the VDH output pin. The
battery is never directly subjected to large load pulse
currents, resulting in a longer, more predictable battery
lifetime.

Specified from -40 °C to +85 °C
3. Applications
•
•
•
Battery powered wireless microcontroller
applications (IoT): Bluetooth®, LoRaWAN®,
Sigfox™, LTE-M, NB-IoT, Zigbee, etc.
Industrial: temperature, occupancy, e-metering,
electronic shelf label, asset tracking, irrigation
monitoring
Consumer/wearable: location tags, heart rate
monitor, blood glucose meter, remote controls, key
fobs
The proprietary learning algorithm monitors the energy
used during repetitive load pulse cycles and optimizes
first stage DC-DC conversion to minimize the residual
charge in the storage capacitor.
A serial interface allows a microcontroller to change
default configuration settings and read-back system
information.
