3.8. RTC backup
The RTC (Real Time Clock) can be supplied by an external capacitor or battery (rechargeable or
non-chargeable) through the pin VRTC. A 1.5 K resistor has been integrated in the module for
current limiting. A coin-cell battery or a super-cap can be used to backup power supply for RTC.
The following figures show various sample circuits for RTC backup.
