Interrupts
18-14 ADSP-214xx SHARC Processor Hardware Reference
This sequence applies only to the first time the RTC supply (bat-
tery or I/O) is connected. Once the
RTCPDN bit is set or reset, its
value is retained as long as RTC supply (battery or I/O) is valid.
3. After the RTC supply is connected for the first time and the RTCPDN
bit has been cleared, the application is free to power-up and power
-down the core supply any number of times without loss of RTC
functionality (provided the RTC supply—battery or I/O, is valid).
Conversely, if the RTCPDN bit has been set, then the RTC oscillator
remains disabled irrespective of the status of the core supply.
4. The current status of the RTC power-down is updated by hardware
into the initialization status register (RTC_INITSTAT) register. This
is useful when the rest of the processor wakes up from power-down
and needs to know the status of the RTC.
5. Whenever the ADSP-2147x processor core wakes up from
power-down, the values of the RTC_CLOCK, RTC_ALARM and
RTC_SWTCH registers is zero until the first seconds’ event after
power-up. At the first seconds’ event, an arbitrary value is uploaded
into these registers. To put them in a defined state software must
write the desired value into these registers.In case the RTC_CLOCK
and RTC_ALARM have been set before core power-down and subse-
quent power-up, their values are valid throughout, but can be read
by the program only after the first seconds’ event after power-up.
Event Flags
The unknown values in the registers at power up can cause event
flags to set before the correct value is written into each of the regis-
ters. By catching the 1 Hz clock edge, the write to
RTC_CLOCK can
occur a full second before the write to
RTC_ALARM. This would cause
an extra second of delay between the validity of
RTC_CLOCK and
RTC_ALARM, if the value of the RTC_ALARM out of reset is the same as
