Notes:
15. The system can operate down to the minimum voltage shown, but the DC_GOOD signal
may cause the system to go to sleep when running at that voltage. See Power Failure
Interrupt in section 5.3.3 for details. The power failure feature can be overridden.
16. LTC 1771 "Burst" mode, used when the BitsyXb is in Sleep mode, is more efficient at low
currents. However, it is electrically noisier and can cause significantly greater EMI/RFI at
higher current draws.
17. During Sleep mode, Vddx is powered by a linear regulator, which draws from the 5V
supply.
18. Vddx=0V, Vbatpos=3.2 V (source: DS1307 data sheet)
