11.2 Programming Model
Section11.2.1, “RTC Time Register,” through Section 11.2.9, “Stopwatch Minutes Register,” provide
programming information on the real-time clock.
11.2.1 RTC Time Register
The real-time clock hours, minutes, and seconds (RTCTIME) register is used to program the hours,
minutes, and seconds. It can be read or written at any time. After a write, the current time assumes the new
values. This register cannot be reset since the real-time clock is always enabled at reset. The settings for the
RTCTIME register are described in Table11-2.
