Chapter 16: LPC5410x Real-Time Clock (RTC)
16.3.1 RTC timers
The RTC contains two timers:
1. The main RTC timer. This 32-bit timer uses a 1 Hz clock and is intended to run
continuously as a real-time clock. When the timer value reaches a match value, an
interrupt is raised. The alarm interrupt can also wake up the part from any low power
mode if enabled.
2. The high-resolution/wake-up timer. This 16-bit timer uses a 1 kHz clock and operates
as a one-shot down timer. Once the timer is loaded, it starts counting down to 0 at
which point an interrupt is raised. The interrupt can wake up the part from any low
power mode if enabled. This timer is intended to be used for timed wake-up from
Deep-sleep, power-down, or Deep power-down modes. The high-resolution wake-up
timer can be disabled to conserve power if not used.
