The Capacitor Backup or "Last Gasp" application provides a short boost of power when the main power fails. It is useful in systems that require functionality for a short time after power loss in order to shut down in a controlled fashion. By storing holdup energy at higher than VBUS voltage, the amount of capacitance can be reduced significantly thereby reducing solution size and cost while improving reliability. In automotive applications, this can be used to make sure that the data is stored correctly so the computer memory in the EV does not get corrupted and the computer and car can shut down safely. Another essential application of capacitor backup is to provide power to open the car's doors when the battery fails. The figure below shows a typical schematic when using the device in a Capacitor Backup application. This application works successfully with super capacitors as well as regular capacitors.
