PRODUCTION DATA
For the BQ32000 to achieve a low backup supply current as specified in the Section 5.5, the VCC pin must be initialized after every total power loss situation. Initialization Is achieved by powering on VCC with a voltage between 3 to 3.6V for at least 1ms immediately after the backup supply is connected. If the VCC is not powered on while connecting the backup supply, then the expected leakage current from VBACK is much greater than specified.
For example after installing the supercap or backup battery, provide VCC to the RTC for at least 1ms, then remove the VCC supply. When VCC is applied to the device, the device automatically switches to use the supply from VCC. After removing the VCC supply, the device switches to use backup supply at the current as specified in the Section 5.5.
