The RTC functions provided by the PMIC include second/minute/hour/day/month/year information, alarm wake up as well as time calibration. +![RTC](/helios64/img/rtc/rtc_diagram.jpg) -## Coin Cell Battery +The SoC receive clock signal from the PMIC RTC and in the meantime access the PMIC RTC functions over I2C bus. -The Location of coin-type battery is shown by this figure: -![CBattery](/helios64/img/rtc/cbat.jpg) +## RTC Battery -The battery type is CR1225, this device has diameter of 12.5mm and 2.5mm thickness. -In above figure the positive (+) polarity is heading downward to the CPU heatsink side. -This battery is used only for keep the RTC (Real Time Clock) running. +To save time information and allow the RTC to keep running while system is powered off, the PMIC RTC relies on a dedicated coin battery located at BAT1.
