3.8 RTC backup for GSM part of XT55/56<br />
The internal Real Time Clock of the XT55/56 GSM part is supplied from a separate voltage<br />
regulator in the power supply ASIC which is also active when the GSM part of the XT55/56 is<br />
in POWER DOWN status. An alarm function is provided that allows to wake up XT55/56<br />
without logging on to the GSM network.<br />
In addition, you can use the GSM_VDDLP pin on the board-to-board connector to backup the<br />
RTC from an external capacitor or a battery (rechargeable or non-chargeable). The capacitor<br />
is charged by the GSM_BATT+ line of XT55/56. If the voltage supply at GSM_BATT+ is<br />
disconnected the RTC can be powered by the capacitor. The size of the capacitor<br />
determines the duration of buffering when no voltage is applied to the GSM part of the<br />
XT55/56, i.e. the greater capacitor the longer the GSM part of the XT55/56 will save the date<br />
and time.<br />
The following figures show various sample configurations. The voltage applied at<br />
GSM_VDDLP can be in the range from 2 to 5.5V. Please refer to Table 27 for the<br />
parameters required.<br />
