Chapter 27: LPC176x/5x Real-Time Clock (RTC) and backup registers
27.6.4 Time Counter Group
The time value consists of the eight counters shown in Table 517 and Table 518. These
counters can be read or written at the locations shown in Table 518
.
[1] These values are simply incremented at the appropriate intervals and reset at the defined overflow point.
They are not calculated and must be correctly initialized in order to be meaningful.
27.6.4.1 Leap year calculation
The RTC does a simple bit comparison to see if the two lowest order bits of the year
counter are zero. If true, then the RTC considers that year a leap year. The RTC considers
all years evenly divisible by 4 as leap years. This algorithm is accurate from the year 1901
through the year 2099, but fails for the year 2100, which is not a leap year. The only effect
of leap year on the RTC is to alter the length of the month of February for the month, day
of month, and year counters.
27.6.4.2 Calibration register (CALIBRATION - address 0x4002 4040)
The following register is used to calibrate the time counter.
