The SmartFusion2 real-time counter (RTC) system keeps track of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks,
and years.

It has two modes of operation:
• Real-time Calendar: Counts seconds, minutes, hours, days, week, months, and years
• Binary Counter: Consecutively counts from 0 to 243
As shown in the following figure, the RTC is connected to the AHB bus matrix through the APB_1
interface.
