The Real Time Counter (RTC) is a 16-bit counter, counting reference clock cycles and giving an
event and/or an interrupt request when it reaches a configurable compare and/or top value. The
reference clock is typically generated from a high accuracy crystal of 32.768 kHz, and the design
is optimized for low power consumption. The RTC typically operate in low power sleep modes,
keeping track of time and waking up the device at regular intervals.
The RTC reference clock may be taken from an 32.768 kHz or 1.024 kHz input. Both an external
32.768 kHz crystal oscillator or the 32 kHz internal RC oscillator can be selected as clock
source. For details on reference clock selection to the RTC refer to
Register” on page 86
scale down the reference clock before it reaches the Counter.
The RTC can generate both compare and overflow interrupt request and/or events.
