Waveform Generation

Waveforms can be generated in order to take advantage of the RTC inherent prescalers while the RTC is the only powered circuitry (Low-power mode of operation, Backup mode) or in any active mode. Entering Backup or Low-power operating modes does not affect the waveform generation outputs.

The outputs RTCOUT0 and RTCOUT1 can be configured to provide several types of waveforms. The figure below illustrates the different signals available to generate RTCOUT0 and RTCOUT1.
