Lpc2000

Hi

I see when shorting Vbat to ground the CPU stops running.
So i assume the CPU will also stop when there is an empty battery connected.

The datasheet only has this note :
[4] The RTC typically fails when VBAT drops below 1.6 V.

So i think this does not mean the CPU itself should stop when vbat is too
low.

Are there any issues with this ?

Johan

Umm... SRAM inside without power??
One Question:  Do we need 2 diodes outside or the power
switch is already build in the chip??

...beats me...Will try that out when I've my first 
LPC2103 board in 2 weeks time.
Regards
