STM32F429IET6 RTC power off/on issue

[ALee.13]

We are suing STM32F429IET6 in our project. The schematics as follow:

1. if VBAT=2.2~3.6V :backhand_index_pointing_right: :backhand_index_pointing_right: :backhand_index_pointing_right: Power off the VDD and wait 0~180 seconds, then power on again. The RTC always lost(reset to the begin value).
2. if VBAT=1.6~2.0V :backhand_index_pointing_right: :backhand_index_pointing_right: :backhand_index_pointing_right: Power off the VDD and wait 20~180 seconds, then power on. The RTC work fine.
3. if VBAT=1.6~2.0V :backhand_index_pointing_right: :backhand_index_pointing_right: :backhand_index_pointing_right: Power off the VDD and wait 2~15 seconds, then power on. Sometime, the RTC lost(reset to the begin value).

RTC lost value when VBAT > 2.2V.

How to resolve the issue? Do you have any recommend?

Best Regards,

It does not make sense at higher voltage VBAT (within range) cause the RTC to reset to default value.

May be it is something else, like power surge or something ?

Hi,

We found the BYPASS_REG is floating.

We connect it to GND can resolve that issue.
