i m working on a custom board based on TPS65910A3+AM335x.
the board has no power button : the system start with applying a voltage on VCC7 of PMIC (external charger 5V 3A) and switch to OFF when there is no power.
we plan now to use the VRTC + coin cell of PMIC (removing the old LDO of VRTC) with the REV2.0 of processor for timekeeping
when there is a problem on the external charger. Questions :
1- does the processor switch to the RTC-Only mode when no power on VCC7 of PMIC and only VRTC is enabled (due to the existence of the coin cell ) ? this a self-acting of AM335x to switch to the RTC-only mode
2-when applying again a power on VCC7 of PMIC: does the system start up directly ? no need in this case to have an external wakeup for the processor to switch from the rtc-only mode to active mode ?
3-the external power is a charger and not a battery : when there is a power failure : can the PMIC switch quickly to make the VRTC ON when we remove the power on VCC7 ? is there a response time on PMIC to verify ?
thanks for your help
