- Re: VBAT and 32.76kHz oscillator doubt
VBAT and 32.76kHz oscillator doubt
I don't understand why while the TWR-K20D50 board is powered by USB (J36 is open) and no battery is inserted, the demo program works only if J35 is closed.
From the datasheet of the microcontoller I have understood that Vbat powers only the RTC clock but the test on the evaluation board shows the opposite: is Vbat necessary for the system (and not only for the RTC module) in order to work properly?
What about the 32.768kHz crystal? Is it necessary if I don't want to power the RTC oscillator and if a 8MHz resonator feeds the system clock?

Hello Gabriele,
K20D50 does not require VBAT to operate and you can use only the 8MHz crystal/resonator when RTC is not used, but TWR-K20D50M Demo software is using the RTC module, and any attempt to access an RTC registers when VBAT is powered down, will result in a bus error and causing the MCU to reset. If you have a terminal connected to the TWR-K20D50M you will see this message when VBAT is disconnected ****default_isr entered on vector 3*****.
