BAT-RTC (Backup Battery)

The BAT‐RTC (backup battery) pin is used as a back‐up power supply for the internal Real Time 
Clock (RTC). VBATT provides the power supply to the RTC when VBATT is switched on but a 
back‐up power supply is needed to save the date and hour when it is switched off. 
If VBATT is available, the back‐up battery can be charged by the internal 3.0V power supply 
regulator via a 2KΩ resistor implemented inside the WISMO228. 
If the RTC is not used, this pin can be left open.
