23.2 MTIF Operation
The MTIF module can be configured in active mode like any other MSP430 module. The inner core of
MTIF operates as the RTC from a power domain that is still active in LPM3.5.

23.2.1 MTIF and RTC_C
MTIF and RTC share the same clock source, power, and resets. MTIF can therefore be kept synchronous
with the RTC. With an RTC operated from 32.768 kHz, the MTIF can generate pulse rates from 8 to 1024
pulses per second.
