What is a backup capacitor?

The objective of the circuit is to charge the backup capacitor to a programmed voltage level and provide instantaneous backup power in case of a main power interruption for a load up to 10 W. Typically, this circuit can be used for a SSD system to enable a controlled shutdown to prevent data loss in case of a main power loss.

What is a supercapacitor backup power supply with current limit?

Smart Electricity Meter Supercapacitor Backup Power Supply With Current Limit reference design for a backup power supply for smart electricity meters is implemented with a low-power Buck-Boost converter that both charges and regulates the output of a dual supercapacitor array, which simplifies and lowers overall cost.

What happens if a backup capacitor is charged to a higher voltage?

Charging the backup capacitor to a voltage level higher than the main power voltage results in a smaller backup capacitor value and smaller solution size to store the same amount of energy. The usable energy stored in the backup capacitor is only limited by the input voltage range of the buck-boost converter, which is 12 V for the TPS63060.

When should a backup capacitor be completed?

Since proper backup is not possible unless an adequate number of Joules are stored on the backup capacitor, many applications require that charging is completed by the time the system boots up and is ready for operation.

What is a backup power supply?

High-Efficiency Backup Power Supply A backup power supply is an electrical system that provides emergency power to a load when the main power source fails. An appropriate backup power supply provides instantaneous protection from main power interruptions without glitches, by supplying energy which is stored in backup capacitors or batteries.

Are supercapacitors a good backup energy source?

It is essential that the backup energy source is able to deliver the necessary backup power. Supercapacitors are an excellent choice for such applications due to their extremely high capacitance per unit volume and very low ESR. However, like batteries, their performance will degrade over time.
