the value written to 
RTC_CLOCK. Wait for the writes to complete on 
these registers before using the flags and interrupts associated with

valid. 
• Stopwatch Event flag – Valid only after the RTC_SWCNT register is 
valid. 
• Alarm Event flag – Valid only after the RTC_STAT and RTC_ALARM 
registers are valid.
