Real-Time Clock And Calendar - ST STM32F40 Series Reference Manual

RM0090
The asynchronous prescaler division factor is set to 128, and the synchronous division
factor to 256, to obtain an internal clock frequency of 1 Hz (ck_spre) with an LSE frequency
of 32.768 kHz.
The minimum division factor is 1 and the maximum division factor is 2
This corresponds to a maximum input frequency of around 4 MHz.
f is given by the following formula:
ck_apre
The ck_apre clock is used to clock the binary RTC_SSR subseconds downcounter. When it
reaches 0, RTC_SSR is reloaded with the content of PREDIV_S.
f is given by the following formula:
ck_spre
The ck_spre clock can be used either to update the calendar or as timebase for the 16-bit
wakeup auto-reload timer. To obtain short timeout periods, the 16-bit wakeup auto-reload
timer can also run with the RTCCLK divided by the programmable 4-bit asynchronous
prescaler (see
23.3.2

Real-time clock and calendar

The RTC calendar time and date registers are accessed through shadow registers which
are synchronized with PCLK1 (APB1 clock). They can also be accessed directly in order to
avoid waiting for the synchronization duration.
●
RTC_SSR for the subseconds
●
RTC_TR for the time
●
RTC_DR for the date
Every two RTCCLK periods, the current calendar value is copied into the shadow registers,
and the RSF bit of RTC_ISR register is set (see
in Stop and Standby mode. When exiting these modes, the shadow registers are updated
after up to 2 RTCCLK periods.
When the application reads the calendar registers, it accesses the content of the shadow
registers. it is possible to make a direct access to the calendar registers by setting the
BYPSHAD control bit in the RTC_CR register. By default, this bit is cleared, and the user
accesses the shadow registers.
When reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR or RTC_DR registers in BYPSHAD=0 mode, the
