Theory of Operation
in months:
8333 hrs
18.29 hrs/day x 30 days/month
= 15.2 months
in years:
8333 hrs
18.29 hrs/day x 365 days/year
= 1.25 years
Again, the actual battery life is likely to be much greater than this
worst case estimate.
The ZT 8825 supplies a DCLOW signal for use with the on-board
battery backup. DCLOW is asserted when the 5 V supply is below
4.50 V. The ZT 8825 uses this signal to disable any glitching on the
write line or chip selects to the memory chips. This signal may
optionally assert DCLOW* (STD bus pin 6, Jumper W22 IN) and/or
PBRESET* (STD bus pin 48, Jumper W23 IN) on the backplane.
Refer to page 5-9 for more information on configuring your board for
battery backup.
