PRODUCTION DATA
The BQ32000 has an internal switchover circuit that causes the device to switch from main power supply to backup power supply when the voltage of the main supply pin VCC drops below a minimum threshold. The VBACK switchover circuit uses an internal reference voltage VREF derived from the on-chip bandgap reference; VREF is approximately 2.8V. The device switches to the VBACK supply when VCC is less than the lesser of VBACK or VREF. Similarly, the device switches to the VCC supply when VCC is greater than either VBACK or VREF.
Some registers are reset to default values when the RTC switches from main power supply to backup power supply. Please see the register definitions to determine what register bits are effected by a backup switchover (effected bits have the reset value (1/0) shown for 'Cycle', bits that are unchanged by backup are marked 'UC').
The time keeping registers can take up to 1 second to update after the RTC switches from backup power supply to main power supply.
