Real-time clock (RTC) RM0367

However, this measurement error can be eliminated if the measurement period is the same
length as the calibration cycle period. In this case, the only error observed is the error due to
the resolution of the digital calibration.
• By default, the calibration cycle period is 32 seconds.
Using this mode and measuring the accuracy of the 1 Hz output over exactly 32 seconds
guarantees that the measure is within 0.477 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 32 seconds, due
to the limitation of the calibration resolution).
• CALW16 bit of the RTC_CALR register can be set to 1 to force a 16- second calibration
cycle period.
In this case, the RTC precision can be measured during 16 seconds with a maximum error
of 0.954 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 16 seconds). However, since the calibration
resolution is reduced, the long term RTC precision is also reduced to 0.954 ppm: CALM[0]
bit is stuck at 0 when CALW16 is set to 1.
• CALW8 bit of the RTC_CALR register can be set to 1 to force a 8- second calibration
cycle period.
In this case, the RTC precision can be measured during 8 seconds with a maximum error of
1.907 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 8s). The long term RTC precision is also reduced to
1.907 ppm: CALM[1:0] bits are stuck at 00 when CALW8 is set to 1.
Re-calibration on-the-fly
The calibration register (RTC_CALR) can be updated on-the-fly while RTC_ISR/INITF=0, by
using the follow process:
1. Poll the RTC_ISR/RECALPF (re-calibration pending flag).
2. If it is set to 0, write a new value to RTC_CALR, if necessary. RECALPF is then
automatically set to 1
3. Within three ck_apre cycles after the write operation to RTC_CALR, the new calibration
settings take effect.
For code example, refer to A.15.5: RTC calibration code example.
27.4.13 Time-stamp function
Time-stamp is enabled by setting the TSE bit of RTC_CR register to 1.
The calendar is saved in the time-stamp registers (RTC_TSSSR, RTC_TSTR, RTC_TSDR)
when a time-stamp event is detected on the RTC_TS pin.
When a time-stamp event occurs, the time-stamp flag bit (TSF) in RTC_ISR register is set.
By setting the TSIE bit in the RTC_CR register, an interrupt is generated when a time-stamp
event occurs.
If a new time-stamp event is detected while the time-stamp flag (TSF) is already set, the
time-stamp overflow flag (TSOVF) flag is set and the time-stamp registers (RTC_TSTR and
RTC_TSDR) maintain the results of the previous event.
