Types of Interface Circuit
There are four types of interface circuit as shown in Table 2-1.

Interface Circuit
Type 4
A signal sent from the Always-on Domain to the VBAT Domain is clipped to the VSS by the level shifter
and the isolator when the Always-on Domain is powered off.
This function enables the following operations to be executed when the Always-on Domain is powered
off: continuing the operation of the calendar function, alarm function and timer function of the RTC,
holding the pin states of the VBAT I/O ports, retaining data in the backup registers.
Interface circuit type 1
Figure 2-2 Configuration of Interface Circuit Type 1
Use this circuit type if the register does not have to retain data when the VCC power supply is off.

Initialization of register
Initialization of register by the reset signal of the Always-on Domain
The state of the control circuit (Always-on Domain) and that of the peripheral circuit
(VBAT Domain) can be read directly.
The register directly affects the operations of the control circuit (Always-on Domain) and
those of the peripheral circuit (VBAT Domain).
