APPLICATION NOTE R01AN1713EJ0101 RX63N Group, RX631 Group Rev. 1.01 Nov. 6, 2015 True/False Determination of RTC Time Information on Cold Start Abstract This document describes the method to determine whether power is supplied from the VBATT while the voltage on the VCC pin is dropped when using the realtime clock (RTC) and the battery backup function together. The RTC clock settings and registers are used to determine whether the RTC continues operation or the RTC is initialized.
