Daylight saving time
The daylight saving time management is performed through bits SUB1H, ADD1H, and BKP
of the RTC_CR register.
Using SUB1H or ADD1H, the software can subtract or add one hour to the calendar in one
single operation without going through the initialization procedure.
In addition, the software can use the BKP bit to memorize this operation.
Programming the alarm
A similar procedure must be followed to program or update the programmable alarms. The
procedure below is given for Alarm A but can be translated in the same way for Alarm B.
1. Clear ALRAE in RTC_CR to disable Alarm A.
2. Program the Alarm A registers (RTC_ALRMASSR/RTC_ALRMAR).
3. Set ALRAE in the RTC_CR register to enable Alarm A again.
Note: Each change of the RTC_CR register is taken into account after around 2 RTCCLK clock
cycles due to clock synchronization.
Programming the wakeup timer
The following sequence is required to configure or change the wakeup timer auto-reload
value (WUT[15:0] in RTC_WUTR):
1. Clear WUTE in RTC_CR to disable the wakeup timer.
2. Poll WUTWF until it is set in RTC_ISR to make sure the access to wakeup auto-reload
counter and to WUCKSEL[2:0] bits is allowed. It takes around 2 RTCCLK clock cycles
(due to clock synchronization).
3. Program the wakeup auto-reload value WUT[15:0], and the wakeup clock selection
(WUCKSEL[2:0] bits in RTC_CR). Set WUTE in RTC_CR to enable the timer again.
The wakeup timer restarts down-counting. The WUTWF bit is cleared up to 2 RTCCLK
clock cycles after WUTE is cleared, due to clock synchronization.
34.3.8 Reading the calendar
When BYPSHAD control bit is cleared in the RTC_CR register
To read the RTC calendar registers (RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR) properly, the APB
clock frequency (f
PCLK
) must be equal to or greater than seven times the RTC clock
frequency (f
RTCCLK
). This ensures a secure behavior of the synchronization mechanism.
If the APB clock frequency is less than seven times the RTC clock frequency, the software
must read the calendar time and date registers twice. If the second read of the RTC_TR
gives the same result as the first read, this ensures that the data is correct. Otherwise a third
read access must be done. In any case the APB clock frequency must never be lower than
the RTC clock frequency.
The RSF bit is set in RTC_ISR register each time the calendar registers are copied into the
RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR shadow registers. The copy is performed every two
RTCCLK cycles. To ensure consistency between the 3 values, reading either RTC_SSR or
RTC_TR locks the values in the higher-order calendar shadow registers until RTC_DR is
read. In case the software makes read accesses to the calendar in a time interval smaller
than 2 RTCCLK periods: RSF must be cleared by software after the first calendar read, and
