Caution
For proper operation of the SRAM, some jumper combination must be installed on the Backup Power Source Select Header (J20). If one of the jumpers is used to select the battery, the battery must be installed on the MVME162. The SRAM may malfunction if inputs to the DS1210S are left unconnected.
The SRAM is controlled by the MCchip, and the access time is programmable. Refer to the MCchip description in the MVME162 Embedded Controller Programmer’s Reference Guide for more detail.
About the Battery
The power source for the onboard SRAM is a RAYOVAC FB1225 battery with two BR1225 type lithium cells which is socketed for easy removal and replacement. A small capacitor is provided to allow the battery to be quickly replaced without data loss.
The lifetime of the battery is very dependent on the ambient temperature of the board and the
When a board is stored, the battery should be disconnected to prolong battery life. This is especially important at high ambient temperatures. The MVME162 is shipped with the batteries disconnected (i.e., with VMEbus +5V standby voltage selected as both primary and secondary power source). If you intend to use the battery as a power source, whether primary or secondary, it is necessary to reconfigure the jumpers on J20 before installing the module. Refer to SRAM Backup Power Source Select Header J20 in Chapter 2 for available jumper configurations.
The power leads from the battery are exposed on the solder side of the board, therefore the board should not be placed on a conductive surface or stored in a conductive bag unless the battery is removed.
