TPS659037: Is the power off sequence performed when ACTIVE goes to BACKUP?

Part Number: TPS659037

Dear Specialists,

My customer is considering TPS6590378 and has an inquiry.

I would be grateful if you could advise.

Is the PMIC off sequence performed when ACTIVE goes to BACKUP?

According to the datasheet Figure 5-18. State Diagram for the Power Control In the State-Machine,

there is a description to switch from the "ACTIVE" state to "BACKUP" state under the condition of "VCC <VSYS_LO".

On the other hand, 5.4.11 System Voltage Monitoring describes regarding VSYS_LO.

(When the device is in the ACTIVE, SLEEP, or OFF state and the voltage on VCC1 decreases below VSYS_LO, the device enters BACKUP mode.

When the device transitions from the ACTIVE state to the BACKUP state, all active SMPS and LDO regulators, except LDOVRTC, are disabled.
When operating with a 16.384-MHz crystal, the regulators are immediately disabled after VCC1 becomes less than VSYS_LO.

When operating without a crystal, transitioning from the ACTIVE state to the BACKUP state using VSYS_LO while the outputs are active must always be followed by a POR event to make sure the device is reset properly.)

I think as long as it uses a crystal of 16.384 MHz, it seems that the correct sequence processing will be executed without executing the POR event from the outside.

Is this correct?

I appreciate your great help in advance.
