5.6.5 VBACKUP and VRTC
VBACKUP mainly provides power supply for RTC and backup RAM of GNSS circuits. The voltage
range is 3.0 V to 3.3 V. Leave this pin floating if it is not used. To use the hot start function of GNSS
and save the positioning data, connect it to a backup power supply or keep continuous power supply.
Otherwise, GNSS is cold started every time.
VRTC is the backup power pin of N58 module RTC and can be connected to a coin battery or farad
capacitor. It can provide short-term power supply to keep the RTC working after the VBAT is
disconnected. The power supply range is 2.8 V to 3.2 V, and the typical value is 3 V.
The following figure shows the reference design of VBACKUP and VRTC power supply.
