Bits 15:6 Reserved, forced by hardware to 0.
Bit 5
RTOFF:
RTC operation OFF
With this bit the RTC reports the status of the last write operation performed on its registers,
indicating if it has been completed or not. If its value is ‘0’ then it is not possible to write to any
of the RTC registers. This bit is read only.
0: Last write operation on RTC registers is still ongoing.
1: Last write operation on RTC registers terminated.
Bit 4
CNF
: Configuration flag
This bit must be set by software to enter in configuration mode so as to allow new values to
be written in the RTC_CNT, RTC_ALR or RTC_PRL registers. The write operation is only
executed when the CNF bit is reset by software after has been set.
0: Exit configuration mode (start update of RTC registers).
1: Enter configuration mode.
Bit 3
RSF:
Registers synchronized flag
This bit is set by hardware at each time the RTC_CNT and RTC_DIV registers are updated
and cleared by software. Before any read operation after an APB1 reset or an APB1 clock
stop, this bit must be cleared by software, and the user application must wait until it is set to
be sure that the RTC_CNT, RTC_ALR or RTC_PRL registers are synchronized.
0: Registers not yet synchronized.
1: Registers synchronized.
Bit 2
OWF:
Overflow flag
This bit is set by hardware when the 32-bit programmable counter overflows. An interrupt is
generated if OWIE=1 in the RTC_CRH register. It can be cleared only by software. Writing ‘1’
has no effect.
0: Overflow not detected
1: 32-bit programmable counter overflow occurred.
Bit 1
ALRF:
Alarm flag
This bit is set by hardware when the 32-bit programmable counter reaches the threshold set
in the RTC_ALR register. An interrupt is generated if ALRIE=1 in the RTC_CRH register. It
can be cleared only by software. Writing ‘1’ has no effect.
0: Alarm not detected
1: Alarm detected
Bit 0
SECF:
Second flag
This bit is set by hardware when the 32-bit programmable prescaler overflows, thus
incrementing the RTC counter. Hence this flag provides a periodic signal with a period
corresponding to the resolution programmed for the RTC counter (usually one second). An
interrupt is generated if SECIE=1 in the RTC_CRH register. It can be cleared only by
software. Writing ‘1’ has no effect.
0: Second flag condition not met.
1: Second flag condition met.
