Reset and clock control for (RCC) RM0090
175/1422 Doc ID 018909 Rev 4
6.3.27 RCC Backup domain control register (RCC_BDCR)
Address offset: 0x70
Reset value: 0x0000 0000, reset by Backup domain reset.
Access: 0 ≤ wait state ≤ 3, word, half-word and byte access
Wait states are inserted in case of successive accesses to this register.
The LSEON, LSEBYP, RTCSEL and RTCEN bits in the RCC Backup domain control
register (RCC_BDCR) are in the Backup domain. As a result, after Reset, these bits are
write-protected and the DBP bit in the Power control register (PWR_CR) has to be set
before these can be modified. Refer to Section 5.1.2 on page 67 for further information.
These bits are only reset after a Backup domain Reset (see Section 6.1.3: Backup domain
reset). Any internal or external Reset will not have any effect on these bits.

Bit 16 BDRST: Backup domain software reset
Set and cleared by software.
0: Reset not activated
1: Resets the entire Backup domain
Note: The BKPSRAM is not affected by this reset, the only way of resetting the BKPSRAM is
through the Flash interface when a protection level change from level 1 to level 0 is
requested.
Bit 15 RTCEN: RTC clock enable
Set and cleared by software.
0: RTC clock disabled
1: RTC clock enabled
Bits 14:10 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bits 9:8 RTCSEL[1:0]: RTC clock source selection
Set by software to select the clock source for the RTC. Once the RTC clock source has been
selected, it cannot be changed anymore unless the Backup domain is reset. The BDRST bit
can be used to reset them.
00: No clock
01: LSE oscillator clock used as the RTC clock
10: LSI oscillator clock used as the RTC clock
11: HSE oscillator clock divided by a programmable prescaler (selection through the
RTCPRE[4:0] bits in the RCC clock configuration register (RCC_CFGR)) used as the RTC
clock
Bits 7:3 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 2 LSEBYP: External low-speed oscillator bypass
Set and cleared by software to bypass oscillator in debug mode. This bit can be written only
when the LSE clock is disabled.
0: LSE oscillator not bypassed
1: LSE oscillator bypassed
