LPC2148 RTC Programming

Real Time Clock (RTC)


• Real Time Clock (RTC) is a time counter that counts
real time continuously.

• We can get present time details using RTC. It gives us


time as well as date information.

• RTC is clocked by separate 32.768 KHz oscillator to


continuously keep track of current time.

• RTC is powered either by main system power or


separately by battery backup in absence of main
system power.
Time Counter Register
Consolidated Time Registers

• The values of the Time Counters can


optionally be read in a consolidated format
which allows the programmer to read all time
counters with only three read operations.

• There are 3 Consolidated Time Registers.

• These registers are read only. New values


should be written to Time Counter Registers.
