Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for a real-time clock (RTC) module of a system-on-chip (SoC), and provides an apparatus for powering battery-powered RTC module of an SoC. The apparatus is integrated in the RTC module and comprises: a first regulator stage comprising one or more regulators, wherein the first regulator stage is configured to provide a core power supply voltage (VDD_CORE) on the basis of battery output voltage (VDD_BAT); and a crystal oscillator I/O unit, the crystal oscillator I/O unit being powered by the core power supply voltage (VDD_CORE) and an I/O power supply voltage (VDD_IO), wherein the apparatus directly provides the battery output voltage (VDD_BAT) as the I/O power supply voltage (VDD_IO).
