Description
ALARM
O
Alarm output (see
).
RTCX1
I
Input to the RTC oscillator circuit.
RTCX2
O
Output from the RTC oscillator circuit.
Remark:
If the RTC is not used, the RTCX1/2 pins can be left
floating.
VBAT
I
RTC power supply:
3.3 V on this pin supplies the power to the
RTC.
Remark:
If the RTC is used, VBAT must be connected to either pin
V
DD(3V3)
or an independent power supply (external battery).
Otherwise, VBAT should be left floating.
