unused RTC pins

Hi,

the LPC4337 has an RTC which I don't need. Can I just connect leave the Vbat and RTCX1 pins floating or should I connect them to 3.3V/GND?

Thanks!

Alright, thanks! So RTCX1 has no internal pull up resistor?

The RTC is in an always-on power domain, powered either by VBAT or VDDREG, so connecting VBAT is not required. I would recommend that RTCX1 be grounded since it is an input.  RTCX2 is an output, so it can be left open.

Hi Paul,

e.g. for the LPC1769 it says "When the RTC is not used, connect VBAT to VDD(REG)(3V3) and leave RTCX1 floating."

Please let me know what you found out!

Thanks!

The data sheet and user's manual don't appear to specify this information, however, other LPC microcontrollers state that if the RTC is not used, these pins may be left floating.
I will verify, and request that this information be placed in the data sheet.
