Product data sheet
7.28.1 Features
7.29.1 Crystal oscillators
7.28 RTC and backup registers
7.29 Clocking and power control
The RTC is a set of counters for measuring time when system power is on, and optionally
when it is off. The RTC on the LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 is designed to have extremely low
power consumption, i.e. less than 1 A. The RTC will typically run from the main chip
power supply, conserving battery power while the rest of the device is powered up. When
operating from a battery, the RTC will continue working down to 2.1 V. Battery power can
be provided from a standard 3 V Lithium button cell.
An ultra-low power 32 kHz oscillator will provide a 1 Hz clock to the time counting portion
of the RTC, moving most of the power consumption out of the time counting function.
The RTC includes a calibration mechanism to allow fine-tuning the count rate in a way
that will provide less than 1 second per day error when operated at a constant voltage and
temperature.
The RTC contains a small set of backup registers (20 bytes) for holding data while the
main part of the LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 is powered off.
The RTC includes an alarm function that can wake up the LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 from
all reduced power modes with a time resolution of 1 s.
The LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 include three independent oscillators. These are the main
oscillator, the IRC oscillator, and the RTC oscillator. Each oscillator can be used for more
than one purpose as required in a particular application. Any of the three clock sources
can be chosen by software to drive the main PLL and ultimately the CPU.
Following reset, the LPC1759/58/56/54/52/51 will operate from the Internal RC oscillator
until switched by software. This allows systems to operate without any external crystal and
the bootloader code to operate at a known frequency.
