1.16 PM Wakeup Using RTC

The PM Peripheral library is used to enter into the low power modes, and uses the RTC timer to wake up the device from the low power mode. The RTC peripheral is run continuously, including in the device’s low-power sleep modes. The RTC counter value is continuously compared with the Compare registers and generates compare match interrupt when compare match occurs to wake up the device.
