Hi All

I have a setup with 8051 micro controller and I want to provide a
battery backup so that when power fails the micro continues to work.
Only the micro needs to work and other peripherals need not.

What will be the minimum circuitry and what is the minimum voltage
required to keep this micro up?

Thanks for your time and attention

Two diodes, for isolation.

That depends on which model of micro - check the data sheet for
a "power down" or "sleep" mode or the like; the data sheet knows
all. ;-)

Good Luck!

Rich, that was another worker in this office screwing with my
computer when I was making a pit stop. I'm now convinced
he is lesdexic or just stupid!

;-)

PS. I'll try to remember to lock the keyboard when I'm out of sight
so that won't happen again.
