58.4.2 Backup Mode Entry and Wake-up

The following figure shows the recommended power-down sequence to place the SAM9X60 in Backup mode. The SHDN signal, output of Shutdown Controller (SHDWC), signals the shutdown request to the external power supply. This output is supplied by VDDBU that is present in Backup mode. In a similar way to the power-down sequence, the NRST signal must be asserted prior to turning the SAM9X60 power supplies off.

The following figure shows the recommended power-up sequence to wake up SAM9X60 from Backup mode. Upon a wake-up event (WKUP pin, RTC alarm, etc.), the Shutdown Controller automatically toggles its SHDN output back to VDDBU to request the external power supply to restart. This power-up sequence is the same as the one shown in figure Recommended Power Sequence at Power-up. In particular, the supply group’s definition is the same.
