TPS6593-Q1: Can we use PMIC's RTC for time and date

Part Number: TPS6593-Q1

Tool/software:

Hello Ti,

I'm using  TPS65931211RWERQ1 for my battery operated custom design, can I use PMIC's RTC for date and time. 
and also if battery is connected and system is OFF will it update date and time also.


Best regards

  • Hello Abhineet,

    In short, yes it will continuously update the RTC if PIN36: VBACKUP is connected to a valid power supply, like a coin cell operated battery.

    The coin cell battery connected powers LDOVRTC which does the following, please see the state diagram as well.

    Best Regards,
