The Real-time Clock (RTC) peripheral is designed for very low power consumption.
It combines a complete time-of-day clock with alarm and a two-hundred-year Gregorian calen-
dar, complemented by a programmable periodic interrupt. The alarm and calendar registers
are accessed by a 32-bit data bus.
The time and calendar values are coded in binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. The time for-
mat can be 24-hour mode or 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator.
Updating time and calendar fields and configuring the alarm fields are performed by a parallel
capture on the 32-bit data bus. An entry control is performed to avoid loading registers with
incompatible BCD format data or with an incompatible date according to the current
month/year/century.
Important features of the RTC include:

The Real-time Clock is continuously clocked at 32768 Hz. The Power Management Controller
has no effect on RTC behavior.
The RTC Interrupt is connected to interrupt source 1 (IRQ1) of the advanced interrupt control-
ler. This interrupt line is due to the OR-wiring of the system peripheral interrupt lines (System
Timer, Real Time Clock, Power Management Controller, Memory Controller, etc.). When a
