14.6 Individual Register Descriptions
14.6.1 REAL TIME CLOCK CONTROL (RTCCON) REGISTER
The RTCCON register consists of 9 bits . It controls the read/write enable of the CLKSEL, CNTSEL and
CLKRST for testing.
RTCEN bit can control all interfaces between the CPU and the RTC, Therefore it must be set to 1 in an RTC
control routine to enable data read/write after a system reset. Before power off, the RTCEN bit is cleared to 0 to
prevent inadvertent writing into BCD counter register.
CLKRST is counter reset for 2
15
Clock divider.(reference to Figure 15-1)
Before RTC clock setting, 2
15
Clock divider must be reset for exact RTC operation.
