Rtc Initialization And Configuration - STMicroelectronics STM32F05 series Reference Manual

Real-time clock (RTC)
of the RTC_ALRMAR register, and through the MASKSSx bits of the RTC_ALRMASSR
register. The alarm interrupt is enabled through the ALRAIE bit in the RTC_CR register.
Caution: If the seconds field is selected (MSK0 bit reset in RTC_ALRMAR), the synchronous
prescaler division factor set in the RTC_PRER register must be at least 3 to ensure correct
behavior.
Alarm A (if enabled by bits OSEL[0:1] in RTC_CR register) can be routed to the
RTC_ALARM output. RTC_ALARM output polarity can be configured through bit POL the
RTC_CR register.

RTC initialization and configuration

RTC register access
The RTC registers are 32-bit registers. The APB interface introduces 2 wait-states in RTC
register accesses except on read accesses to calendar shadow registers when
BYPSHAD=0.
RTC register write protection
After system reset, the RTC registers are protected against parasitic write access by
clearing the DBP bit in the PWR_CR register (refer to the power control section). DBP bit
must be set in order to enable RTC registers write access.
After power-on reset, all the RTC registers are write-protected. Writing to the RTC registers
is enabled by writing a key into the Write Protection register, RTC_WPR.
The following steps are required to unlock the write protection on all the RTC registers
except for RTC_ISR[13:8], RTC_TAFCR, and RTC_BKPxR.
1. Write '0xCA' into the RTC_WPR register.
2. Write '0x53' into the RTC_WPR register.
Writing a wrong key reactivates the write protection.
The protection mechanism is not affected by system reset.
Calendar initialization and configuration
To program the initial time and date calendar values, including the time format and the
prescaler configuration, the following sequence is required:
1. Set INIT bit to 1 in the RTC_ISR register to enter initialization mode. In this mode, the
calendar counter is stopped and its value can be updated.
2. Poll INITF bit of in the RTC_ISR register. The initialization phase mode is entered when
INITF is set to 1. It takes around 2 RTCCLK clock cycles (due to clock synchronization).
3. To generate a 1 Hz clock for the calendar counter, program both the prescaler factors in
RTC_PRER register.
4. Load the initial time and date values in the shadow registers (RTC_TR and RTC_DR),
and configure the time format (12 or 24 hours) through the FMT bit in the RTC_CR
register.
5. Exit the initialization mode by clearing the INIT bit. The actual calendar counter value is
then automatically loaded and the counting restarts after 4 RTCCLK clock cycles.
When the initialization sequence is complete, the calendar starts counting.
