Question 1:What is the difference between backup current consumption and standby current con-
sumption

istics in determining the battery capacity

Answer 1: Backup current consumption is defined as current consumption in battery backup with the CE
pin held low (connected to the V
SS
input) and the other pins opened (the term “opened” also
refers to “impressed with intermediate voltage”). On the other hand, standby current consump-
tion is defined as current consumption in the absence of access from the CPU with the CE and
CS pins held high (connected to the V
DD
pin input) and the other input pins connected to the
V
DD
or V
SS
pin input and the other output pins opened. The V
DD
pin input is set to 2.5V for
backup current consumption and 5.5V for standby current consumption.
Answer 2:For typical backup current consumption and temperature characteristics, see the graphs in 10. 1
to 10.4 in “10. Typical Characteristics”.
Answer 3:AC timing is designed to secure margins including variations and therefore difficult to change in
principle, provided that it is susceptible to change, as the case may be, upon request.
Answer 4:As in Answer 3 above, the operating temperature range is difficult to change in principle, provid-
ed that it is susceptible to change, as the case may be, upon request.
