Three key observations that affect software designer's decision.

\begin{itemize}
    \item \textbf{O1}: The capacitor voltage drops quickly to charge decoupling capacitor when system wakes-up ($t1$--$t2$).
    \item \textbf{O2}: The system executes at sub-voltage using the decoupling capacitor, even after power supply stops ($t4$--$t5$).
    \item \textbf{O3}: The decoupling capacitor discharges while the system is powered-off (after $t5$).
\end{itemize}
