Summary of Cymbet Launches EnerChip CC CBC3105 Uninterruptible Power Supply in a Chip
Cymbet Corporation introduced the EnerChip CC CBC3105, a smart solid-state battery chip acting as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). It integrates input power conversion, management, and regulated outputs to backup microelectronic devices during power failures. Ideal for Real Time Clocks and microcontrollers, it replaces coin cells or super capacitors due to its compact size, reliability, and lack of maintenance needs. The device supports surface mount assembly, is RoHS compliant, and offers backup times ranging from hours to weeks.
Parts used in the EnerChip CC CBC3105 Project:
- EnerChip CC CBC3105 smart solid state battery
- Integrated input power conversion unit
- Battery management system
- Regulated output capabilities module
- Real Time Clock
- Microcontroller
- EnerChip CC evaluation kits

Cymbet Corporation today announced the availability of the EnerChip CC CBC3105 smart solid state battery. The CBC3105 combines the award winning EnerChip battery with integrated input power conversion, battery management and regulated output capabilities. The Cymbet EnerChip CC is a smart rechargeable solid state battery Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in a chip that provides power backup to microelectronic devices when main power fails. The EnerChip CC provides power supply monitoring and switches over to the internal solid state backup battery when the supply drops below a set threshold. The EnerChip CC product family can provide anywhere from several hours to several weeks of backup time.
The CBC3105 is an ideal solution for design engineers who need a compact device to back-up a Real Time Clock or Microcontroller during power failure where coin cell batteries or super caps will not work due to size, reliability, no battery doors, no battery replacement, battery disposal issues, or need for life-of-product power. The CBC3105 uses surface mount/reflow solder assembly and is RoHS tested-compliant.
The EnerChip CC device family can accomplish all this in a footprint as small as the CBC3105 4mm x 5mm x 0.9mm package that is priced as low as $ 0.50 in high volumes. The EnerChip CC CBC3112 and CBC3150 provide even more energy storage in similar small footprint packages. The CBC3105 can be purchased at Avnet, Avnet Abacus, Avnet Asia, Digi-Key, Mouser and Farnell.
