27.4 Memory Map/Register Descriptions
RTC oscillator control bits are part of the RTC registers. Refer to RTC Control register
for more details.
27.5 Functional Description
, the module includes an amplifier which supplies the negative
resistor for the RTC oscillator. The gain of the amplifier is controlled by the amplitude
detector, which optimizes the power consumption. A schmitt trigger is used to translate
the sine-wave generated by this oscillator to a pulse clock out, which is a reference clock
for the RTC digital core.
The oscillator includes an internal feedback resistor of approximately 100 M
Ω
between
EXTAL32 and XTAL32.
In addition, there are two programmable capacitors with this oscillator, which can be
used as the Cload of the oscillator. The programmable range is from 0pF to 30pF.
