The term ‘AC power loss’ stands for the state when the module looses the standby voltage on the 5V_SB pins. On congatec modules, the standby voltage is continuously monitored after the system is turned off. If within 30 seconds the standby voltage is no longer detected, then this is considered an AC power loss condition.
