System Integration Unit
They are cleared by writing ones to the AL and HZ bits. The AL and HZ bits are routed to the
interrupt controller where they may be enabled to cause a first level interrupt. Write zeros to all
reserved bits and ignore all reads to the reserved bits.
In sleep mode, only AL events set the status bit in the RTSR register. The HZ bit is not se t in sleep
mode since it is a recurring event.
Tabl e 4-42 shows the bitmap of the RTC Status Register.
4.3.3 Trim Procedure
The Hz clock driving the RTC is generated by div iding t he o utp ut of t he osci llat or multi plex or. The
inherent inaccuracies of crystals, aggravated by varying capacitance of the board connections, as
well as other variables, may cause the time base to be somewhat inaccurate. This requires a slight
adjustment in the desired clock period. The processor, through the RTTR, lets you adjust (or trim)
the Hz-time base to an error of less than 1ppm. Such that if the Hz clock is set to be 1 Hz, there
would be an error of less than 5 seconds per month.
The RTTR is reset to its default value of 0x0000_7FFF each time the nRES ET signal is asserted.
This yields approximately a 1Hz clock.
When the clock divisor count (RTTR[15:0]) is set to 0x0, the Hz clock feeding the RTC maintains
a high level signal - essentially disabling the RT C. For all non-zero values programmed into the
clock divisor count, the Hz-clock frequency will be the 32-KHz-clock source divided by the clock
divisor count plus 1.
