The user determines diode and resistor selection
according to the maximum current desired for battery
or super cap charging. The maximum charging current
can be calculated as illustrated in the following exam-
ple. Assume that a system power supply of 3.3V is
applied to V
CC
and a super cap is connected to
V
BACKUP
. Also, assume that the trickle charger has
been enabled with a diode and resistor R2 between
V
CC
and V
BACKUP
. The maximum current I
MAX
would
therefore be calculated as follows:
I
MAX
= (3.3V - diode drop) / R2
≈ (3.3V - 0.7V) /
2k
Ω ≈ 1.3mA
As the super cap changes, the voltage drop between
V
CC
and V
BACKUP
decreases and therefore the charge
current decreases.

*CPOL is the clock-polarity bit set in the control register of the
host microprocessor.
**SDO remains at high impedance until 8 bits of data are ready to
be shifted out during a read.
