6.3 Consolidated time registers
The values of the Time Counters can optionally be read in a consolidated format which
allows the programmer to read all time counters with only three read operations. The
various registers are packed into 32 bit values as shown in Table26–574, Table 26–575,
and Table26–576. The least significant bit of each register is read back at bit 0, 8, 16, or
24.
The Consolidated Time Registers are read only. To write new values to the Time
Counters, the Time Counter addresses should be used.

6.3.1 Consolidated Time Register 0 (CTIME0 - 0xE002 4014)

The Consolidated Time Register 0 contains the low order time values: Seconds, Minutes,
Hours, and Day of Week.

6.3.2 Consolidated Time Register 1 (CTIME1 - 0xE002 4018)

The Consolidate Time Register 1 contains the Day of Month, Month, and Year values.

6.3.3 Consolidated Time Register 2 (CTIME2 - 0xE002 401C)

The Consolidate Time Register 2 contains just the Day of Year value.
