3.1.3 RTC Backup
The module uses RTC (Real Time Clock) to update and maintain inherent time and keeps system alive at
no power supply status. The RTC power supply of module can be provided by an external capacitor or a
battery (non-chargeable or rechargeable) through the VRTC. The following figures show various reference
circuits for RTC back up. The discharge current is less than 10uA. If this feature is used, please refer to the
AT commands “AT+CTZU” and “AT +CTZR”.
