26.13.1 Control A

Important: Due to the synchronization between the RTC clock and main clock domains, there is a latency of two RTC clock cycles from updating the register until this has an effect. The application software must check that the CTRLABUSY flag in the RTC.STATUS register is cleared before writing to this register.
Name: CTRLA
Offset: 0x00
