3.9. RTC Backup
The RTC (Real Time Clock) can be powered by an external power source through the pin VRTC when the
module is powered down and there is no power supply for the VBAT. It is also available to charge the
battery on the VRTC when module is turned on. You can choose rechargeable battery, capacitor or
non-rechargeable battery depending on different applications.
The following figures show the various sample circuits for VRTC backup.
