2.7.3.4 SysTick Calibration Value Register

The SYST_CALIB register indicates the SysTick calibration properties. See the register summary in Table 2-65 for its attributes. The bit assignments are:

Table 2-69. SYST_CALIB Register Bit Assignments
BitsNameFunction
[31]NOREFReads as one. Indicates that no separate reference clock is provided.
[30]SKEWReads as one. Calibration value for the 10ms inexact timing is not known because TENMS is not known. This can affect the suitability of SysTick as a software real time clock.
[29:24]Reserved.
[23:0]TENMSReads as zero. Indicates calibration value is not known.

If calibration information is not known, calculate the calibration value required from the frequency of the processor clock or external clock.
