However, this measurement error can be eliminated if the measurement period is the same
length as the calibration cycle period. In this case, the only error observed is the error due to
the resolution of the digital calibration.
•
By default, the calibration cycle period is 32 seconds.
Using this mode and measuring the accuracy of the 1 Hz output over exactly 32
seconds guarantees that the measure is within 0.477 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 32
seconds, due to the limitation of the calibration resolution).
•
CALW16 bit of the RTC_CALR register can be set to 1 to force a 16- second calibration
cycle period.
In this case, the RTC precision can be measured during 16 seconds with a maximum
error of 0.954 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 16 seconds). However, since the
calibration resolution is reduced, the long term RTC precision is also reduced to 0.954
ppm: CALM[0] bit is stuck at 0 when CALW16 is set to 1.
•
CALW8 bit of the RTC_CALR register can be set to 1 to force a 8- second calibration
cycle period.
In this case, the RTC precision can be measured during 8 seconds with a maximum
error of 1.907 ppm (0.5 RTCCLK cycles over 8s). The long term RTC precision is also
reduced to 1.907 ppm: CALM[1:0] bits are stuck at 00 when CALW8 is set to 1.
Re-calibration on-the-fly
The calibration register (RTC_CALR) can be updated on-the-fly while RTC_ISR/INITF=0, by
using the follow process:
1.
Poll the RTC_ISR/RECALPF (re-calibration pending flag).
2. If it is set to 0, write a new value to RTC_CALR, if necessary. RECALPF is then
automatically set to 1
3. Within three ck_apre cycles after the write operation to RTC_CALR, the new calibration
settings take effect.
26.3.12 Timestamp
function
Timestamp is enabled by setting the TSE bit of
RTC_CR register to 1.
The calendar is saved in the timestamp registers (RTC_TSSSR, RTC_TSTR, RTC_TSDR)
when a timestamp event is detected on the pin to which the TIMESTAMP alternate function
is mapped. When a timestamp event occurs, the timestamp flag
bit (TSF) in RTC_ISR
register is set.
By setting the TSIE bit in the RTC_CR register, an interrupt is generated when a timestamp
event occurs.
If a new timestamp event is detected while the timestamp flag (TSF) is already set, the
timestamp overflow flag (TSOVF) flag is set and the timestamp registers (RTC_TSTR and
RTC_TSDR) maintain the results of the previous event.
Note:
TSF is set 2 ck_apre cycles after the timestamp event occurs due to synchronization
process.
There is no delay in the setting of TSOVF. This means that if two timestamp events are
close together, TSOVF can be seen as '1' while TSF is still '0'. As a consequence, it is
recommended to poll TSOVF only after TSF has been set.
Caution:
If a timestamp event occurs immediately after the TSF bit is supposed to be cleared, then
both TSF and TSOVF bits are set. To avoid masking a timestamp event occurring at the
