Note: Autobauding is default. It cannot enter sleep mode in the absence of synchronous serial port baud rate
after module power on.
4.4. Power Saving Mode
Current input for RTC when the VBAT is not supplied for the system. Current output for backup battery when
the VBAT power supply is in present and the backup battery is in low voltage state. The RTC power supply of
module can be provided by an external capacitor or a battery (non-chargeable or rechargeable) through the VRTC.
The following figures show various reference circuits for RTC back up.
