22.12.1 Control A

Name: CTRLA
Offset: 0x00
Reset: 0x00
Property: -

Bit 76543210 
 RUNSTDBYPRESCALER[3:0]  RTCEN 
Access R/WR/WR/WR/WR/WR/W 
Reset 000000 

Bit 7 – RUNSTDBY Run in Standby

ValueDescription
0 RTC disabled in Standby Sleep mode
1 RTC enabled in Standby Sleep mode

Bits 6:3 – PRESCALER[3:0] Prescaler

These bits define the prescaling of the CLK_RTC clock signal. Due to synchronization between the RTC clock and the peripheral clock, there is a latency of two RTC clock cycles from updating the register until this has an effect. Application software needs to check that the CTRLABUSY flag in RTC.STATUS register is cleared before writing to this register.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 DIV1 RTC clock/1 (no prescaling)
0x1 DIV2 RTC clock/2
0x2 DIV4 RTC clock/4
0x3 DIV8 RTC clock/8
0x4 DIV16 RTC clock/16
0x5 DIV32 RTC clock/32
