DM365 PRTCSS makes me confused. can I leave VDD18_PRTCSS open?

Don't want to use PRTCSS, but want the RTC. The PWCTRO and PWCTRIO confuse me.

I disable the PRTCSS, and tie PWRCNTON to '1' and PWRST to '0'. So the PRTCSS can  work in external reset mode.

BUT. can I use the RTC now? There are two pins confuse me: VDD18_PRTCSS and VDD12_PRTCSS.

if I just want the RTC work with battery and main power, should the VDD18_PRTCSS leave opened? and connect a LDO to VDD12_PRTCSS with a BATTERY.?

IF VDD18_PRTCSS and VDD12_PRTCSS both must be connected, WELL , I prefer to replace it with a PCF8563T. and I have to say the RTC in DM365 is a flaw.

Anyone can give me a tip?

Here is my EXAMPLE:

PWRCNTON=1;

PWRST=0;

PWCTRO0~3 =OPEN;

PWCTRIO0~6 =OPEN;

VDD18_PRTCSS =OPEN;

VDD12_PRTCSS =1.2V LDO with CR2302(3V) BATTERY.
