17.3 Example of RAM Backup for Saving Power Consumption
Figure 17.3.1 shows a typical circuit for RAM backup to save on power consumption. The following
explains how the RAM is backed up for the purpose of low-power operation by using this circuit as
an example.

RAM backup
signal (Note 1)
Note 1 : This signal outputs a low for RAM backup.
Note 2 : This pin outputs a high when the power is on, and is set for input mode when in RAM backup
mode.
Note 3 : These pins are used to detect a RAM backup signal.
