Supercapacitor Backup Power Supply with Active Cell Balancing Reference Design

PMP9766

Design files

Overview

This reference design describes a backup power circuit which addresses instantaneous protection against power interruptions by using a buck-boost converter and two stacked supercapacitors. The implementation is based on a completely integrated TPS63020 buck-boost converter circuit enabling a small total solution size. The design also provides an active cell balancing circuit. This configuration has been tested with a full test report and operation explanation.

Features
  • No glitches at the automatic transition from main power to backup power operation
  • Active cell balancing
  • Backup-capacitor type and size are selectable to meet backup power needs
  • Up to 15 Watt output power
  • Small and high efficiency single converter solution
  • Support of pulsed loads connected to a weak supply
