DESCRIPTION
The M4Txx-BR12SH SNAPHAT top is a detach-
able lithium power source for ST’s non-volatile
TIMEKEEPER surface mount SOIC (MH) pack-
age (28 and 44 pin).
The SNAPHAT top contains both the battery and                        X1         X2
crystal and is designed to be "snapped on" after
the SOIC is surface mounted on the PC board.
Thus the two piece solution avoids the battery and
crystal from having to be exposed to the high tem-
peratures of the surface mount process.

Figure 2 illustrates the affect of repeated insertion
and extraction of the SNAPHAT top to the SOIC.
The force required to extract the SNAPHAT, and
then to re-insert it, reduces each time. After three        acteristically flat voltage level supplied by the bat-
or four extractions, though, the reduction starts to        tery until very near the end of its life. These
become unnoticeable, and the force required                 discharge levels have been greatly accelerated in

though, the SNAPHAT will only need to be
extracted and re-inserted once in its lifetime.             UL RECOGNITION
