Accurate RTC with integrated quartz crystal for industrial
When a power failure condition occurs and the power supply switches to the battery, the
following sequence occurs:
1. The battery switch flag BF (register Control_3) is set logic 1.
2. An interrupt is generated if the control bit BIE (register Control_3) is enabled
(see Section 8.12.6).
3. If the control bit BTSE (register Control_3) is logic 1, the timestamp registers store the
time and date when the battery switch occurred (see Section 8.11.4).
4. The battery switch flag BF is cleared by command; it must be cleared to clear the
interrupt.
The interface is disabled in battery backup operation:
• Interface inputs are not recognized, preventing extraneous data being written to the
device
• Interface outputs are high-impedance
8.5.1.1 Standard mode
If VDD > VBAT OR VDD > Vth(sw)bat, the internal power supply is VDD.
If VDD < VBAT AND VDD < Vth(sw)bat, the internal power supply is VBAT.

Vth(sw)bat is the battery switch threshold voltage. Typical value is 2.5 V. In standard mode, the
battery switch-over works only for VDD > 2.5 V.
VDD may be lower than VBAT (for example VDD = 3 V, VBAT = 4.1 V).

8.5.1.2 Direct switching mode
If VDD > VBAT the internal power supply is VDD.
If VDD < VBAT the internal power supply is VBAT.
