'UPS' chip for a low current audio device.
I want to fit a battery backup to a small audio device. Something that
will charge a 7.2 volt Ni-Cad pack without damage no matter how long left on and run the device at the same time - and switch over automatically if power fails. Maximum consumption of the device is about 250 mA. There appear to be 'millions' of supervisory chips out there and I was hoping someone could recommend one. -- *If your feet smell and your nose runs, you're built upside down.

It sounds like a maintained emergency light would do what you want |

My extremely expensive radio alarm, wot loses it's brains if there's a power cut, and we have lots here just outside the M25, runs off a UPS consisting of a Maplin 6V 1.3 ah gel battery and a fully automatic charger, about 14 quid the pair. It runs a lot cooler that the origial wallwart, so if 6V would do, it's an easy solution mike |

You dont need a chip to do that, just a trickle charger. When it comes to recommending ICs, I'd definitely recommend sci.electronics,.design. NT |

A PP3 wouldn't last long enough - but I want a re-chargeable anyway. -- *Ah, I see the f**k-up fairy has visited us again Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

The SAB module from a burglar alarm bell will do the job, usually costs under a tenner. Rgds Andy R |
