8.3.2 Resetting RTC registers
All system registers are asynchronously reset by a System Reset or Power Reset, except for
RTC_PRL, RTC_ALR, RTC_CNT, and RTC_DIV.
The RTC_PRL, RTC_ALR, RTC_CNT, and RTC_DIV registers are reset only by a Backup
Domain reset. Refer to Section 4.1.3 on page 46.
8.3.3 Reading RTC registers
The RTC core is completely independent from the RTC APB1 interface.
Software accesses the RTC prescaler, counter and alarm values through the APB1 interface
but the associated readable registers are internally updated at each rising edge of the RTC
clock resynchronized by the RTC APB1 clock. This is also true for the RTC flags.
This means that the first read to the RTC APB1 registers may be corrupted (generally read
as 0) if the APB1 interface has previously been disabled and the read occurs immediately
after the APB1 interface is enabled but before the first internal update of the registers. This
can occur if:
● A system reset or power reset has occurred
● The MCU has just woken up from STANDBY mode (see Section 3.3: Low-power
modes)
● The MCU has just woken up from STOP mode (see Section 3.3: Low-power modes)
In all the above cases, the RTC core has been kept running while the APB1 interface was
disabled (reset, not clocked or unpowered).
Consequently when reading the RTC registers, after having disabled the RTC APB1
interface, the software must first wait for the RSF bit (Register Synchronized Flag) in the
RTC_CRL register to be set by hardware.
Note that the RTC APB1 interface is not affected by WFI and WFE low-power modes.
