4.1.4.2 Single Supply Operation with Backup Battery

The following figure shows the single-supply operation schematic improved by adding a backup capability when main power source is removed. VBAT is supplied with a separate backup battery while VDD3V3 is still connected to the main power source. This power supply use case is for systems where saving of the backup area, mainly the RTC must remain active between full power cycles.
