Chapter 27: LPC176x/5x Real-Time Clock (RTC) and backup registers
27.5 Pin description
27.6 Register description
The RTC includes a number of registers, shown in Table 507. Detailed descriptions of the
registers follow. In these descriptions, for most of the registers the Reset Value column
shows "NC", meaning that these registers are Not Changed by a Reset. Software must
initialize these registers between power-on and setting the RTC into operation. The
registers are split into five sections by functionality.
