Backup power system for dynamic memory

TLDR
A power supply system for a dynamic memory includes a main power supply, a backup power supply and a power down detection circuit which are all connected in parallel across the input of a DC/DC converter as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
A power supply system for a dynamic memory includes a main power supply, a backup power supply and a power down detection circuit which are all connected in parallel across the input of a DC/DC converter In turn the DC/DC converter supplies regulated power to the dynamic memory On interruption of the main power supply, the backup supply provides input power to the DC/DC converter only as long as the power sensed by the power down detection circuit is adequate for the DC/DC converter to maintain a bit pattern stored in the dynamic memory On sensing inadequate input power to the DC/DC converter the backup supply is automatically disconnected
