13.6.2.1 RTC_REGA—Register A
RTC Index:
Default Value:
Lockable:
This register is used for general configuration of the RTC functions. None of the bits are
affected by RSMRST# or any other PCH reset signal.
Bit
Update In Progress (UIP) — R/W. This bit may be monitored as a status flag.
0 = The update cycle will not start for at least 488 µs. The time, calendar, and alarm
7
1 = The update is soon to occur or is in progress.
Division Chain Select (DV[2:0]) — R/W. These three bits control the divider chain
for the oscillator, and are not affected by RSMRST# or any other reset signal.
010 = Normal Operation
11X = Divider Reset
101 = Bypass 15 stages (test mode only)
6:4
100 = Bypass 10 stages (test mode only)
011 = Bypass 5 stages (test mode only)
001 = Invalid
000 = Invalid
Rate Select (RS[3:0]) — R/W. Selects one of 13 taps of the 15 stage divider chain.
The selected tap can generate a periodic interrupt if the PIE bit is set in Register B.
Otherwise this tap will set the PF flag of Register C. If the periodic interrupt is not to be
used, these bits should all be set to 0. RS3 corresponds to bit 3.
0000 = Interrupt never toggles
0001 = 3.90625 ms
0010 = 7.8125 ms
0011 = 122.070 µs
