Ambiq AM1803 RTC Power Backup with EnerChip™ Battery
ENERCHIP™
CBC3150-D9C
Applications
EnerChips are an attractive RTC backup alternative to batteries or supercapacitors, especially when the
finished product has limited PCB space, size constraints or needs to be sealed or installed in a hard-to-
reach location. They are also excellent if you have any of these design requirements:
• Battery must be RoHS and WEEE compliant
• Product can be discarded without removing battery
• Product must have battery installed during shipping via air
• Battery must be rechargeable to support a lifetime of power outages
• Battery must provide backup power for several hours during a main power failure
