5.18 TX_ON - Burst Transmission
Burst transmission is the time when a GSM transceiver unit is transmitting
RF signals. TX_ON indicates the radio device is going into transmission
mode.
5.19 Real Time Clock
The Real Time Clock (RTC) provides the main microprocessor with a
time-of-day calendar and alarm, and a one-hundred-year calendar. Its
accuracy is shown in the table below
The Real Time Clock operates in two modes when connected to a separate
power supply:
• RTC normal mode: the radio device is in ON or OFF mode and it is
supplied with power (VCC is applied).
• RTC back-up mode: VCC is disconnected and the RTC is maintained
by a separate backup power supply connected to the VRTC input (see
Figure 5.13 below).
Backup power is provided by a capacitor, golden-capacitor or battery in
your application and must be connected to the VRTC pin. During RTC
normal operation, the back up source will be charged.
