8.6 RTC Counter

The RTC_B or RTC_C module is used in the FR59xx family, depending on the specific device. The real-time clock (RTC) counter module is used in FR4xx devices. The RTC counter is a 16-bit counter that is functional in active mode (AM), LPM0, LPM3, and LPM3.5. The RTC counter accepts multiple clock sources, selected by control register settings, to generate timing from less than 1 µs up to many hours.

One example use of the RTC counter module is for a software calendar. Combined with the LFXT clock and LPM3.5, an ultra-low-power RTC application can be achieved. The base address for the RTC registers is different for FR413x and FR203x devices compared to other FR4xx devices. See the device-specific data sheet for details.

MSP430FR231x, FR21xx, FR2000, FR235x, FR215x, FR267x, and FR247x devices support the control bit RTCCKSEL in the SYSCFG2 register. This bit is not available in other FR4xx devices. The RTCCKSEL bit can select ACLK as the clock source for the RTC.
