When TAMPIE is cleared, each tamper pin event interrupt can be individually enabled by
setting the corresponding TAMPxIE bit in the RTC_TAMPCR register. Setting TAMPxIE is
not allowed when the corresponding TAMPxMF is set.
Trigger output generation on tamper event
The tamper event detection can be used as trigger input by the low-power timers.
When TAMPxMF bit in cleared in RTC_TAMPCR register, the TAMPxF flag must be cleared
by software in order to allow a new tamper detection on the same pin.
When TAMPxMF bit is set, the TAMPxF flag is masked, and kept cleared in RTC_ISR
register. This configuration allows to trig automatically the low-power timers in Stop mode,
without requiring the system wakeup to perform the TAMPxF clearing. In this case, the
backup registers are not cleared.
Timestamp on tamper event
With TAMPTS set to ‘1’, any tamper event causes a timestamp to occur. In this case, either
the TSF bit or the TSOVF bit are set in RTC_ISR, in the same manner as if a normal
timestamp event occurs. The affected tamper flag register TAMPxF is set at the same time
that TSF or TSOVF is set.
Edge detection on tamper inputs
If the TAMPFLT bits are “00”, the RTC_TAMPx pins generate tamper detection events when
either a rising edge or a falling edge is observed depending on the corresponding
TAMPxTRG bit. The internal pull-up resistors on the RTC_TAMPx inputs are deactivated
when edge detection is selected.
Caution: When using the edge detection, it is recommended to check by software the tamper pin
level just after enabling the tamper detection (by reading the GPIO registers), and before
writing sensitive values in the backup registers, to ensure that an active edge did not occur
before enabling the tamper event detection.
When TAMPFLT="00" and TAMPxTRG = 0 (rising edge detection), a tamper event may be
detected by hardware if the tamper input is already at high level before enabling the tamper
detection.
After a tamper event has been detected and cleared, the RTC_TAMPx alternate function
should be disabled and then re-enabled (TAMPxE set to 1) before re-programming the
backup registers (RTC_BKPxR). This prevents the application from writing to the backup
registers while the RTC_TAMPx input value still indicates a tamper detection. This is
equivalent to a level detection on the RTC_TAMPx alternate function input.
Note: Tamper detection is still active when V
DD
power is switched off. To avoid unwanted resetting
of the backup registers, the pin to which the RTC_TAMPx alternate function is mapped
should be externally tied to the correct level.
Level detection with filtering on RTC_TAMPx inputs
Level detection with filtering is performed by setting TAMPFLT to a non-zero value. A tamper
detection event is generated when either 2, 4, or 8 (depending on TAMPFLT) consecutive
samples are observed at the level designated by the TAMPxTRG bits.
The RTC_TAMPx inputs are precharged through the I/O internal pull-up resistance before
its state is sampled, unless disabled by setting TAMPPUDIS to 1,The duration of the
