Programmer’s Reference

4.18Real Time Clock, RTC

The PrimeCell Real Time Clock Controller (RTC) is an AMBA compliant SoC peripheral that is developed, tested, and licensed by ARM Limited.

A counter in the RTC is incremented every second. The RTC can therefore be used as a basic alarm function or long time-base counter.

The current value of the clock can be read at any time or the RTC can be programmed to generate an interrupt after counting for a programmed number of seconds. The interrupt can be masked by writing to the interrupt match set or clear register.

Note

There is also a separate Time-of-Year RTC implemented in an external DS1338 chip on the PB926EJ-S. The external RTC can be accessed by the serial bus interface (see Serial bus interface on page 4-86). For details on the programming interface to the Time-of-Year RTC, see the datasheet for the Maxim DS1338 integrated circuit.
