8.12. About access at the time of backup return and initial power supply

Because most of RTC registers are synchronized with the oscillation clock of the built-in crystal oscillator, the RTC does not
work normally without the integrated oscillator having stabilized. Please initialize the RTC at the time the power supply
voltage returns (VLF = 1) after the oscillation has stabilized (after oscillation start time tSTA).
If intending to access the RTC after the main supply voltage returns, please note following points:
1.
Please begin to read VLF-bit first.
If VLF-bit returns "1", please initialize all registers. Please perform initial setting only tSTA (oscillation start time),
2.
when the built-in oscillation is stable.
3.
Access is prohibited within 30 ms the supply voltage exceeds min. VCLK (clock supply voltage (VDD > 1.5 V).
If VLF-bit returns "0", access is possible without waiting time.
4.
5.
Before the internal crystal oscillator has stabilized (tSTA), no clock operation is possible and time is not counted.
