3.17 Real-time clock (RTC), backup SRAM and backup registers
The backup domain of the STM32F20x devices includes:
• The real-time clock (RTC)
• 4 Kbytes of backup SRAM
• 20 backup registers
The real-time clock (RTC) is an independent BCD timer/counter. Its main features are the
following:
• Dedicated registers contain the second, minute, hour (in 12/24 hour), week day, date,
month, year, in BCD (binary-coded decimal) format.
• Automatic correction for 28, 29 (leap year), 30, and 31 day of the month.
• Programmable alarm and programmable periodic interrupts with wakeup from Stop and
Standby modes.
• It is clocked by a 32.768 kHz external crystal, resonator or oscillator, the internal low-
power RC oscillator or the high-speed external clock divided by 128. The internal low-
speed RC has a typical frequency of 32 kHz. The RTC can be calibrated using an
external 512 Hz output to compensate for any natural quartz deviation.
• Two alarm registers are used to generate an alarm at a specific time and calendar
fields can be independently masked for alarm comparison. To generate a periodic
interrupt, a 16-bit programmable binary auto-reload downcounter with programmable
resolution is available and allows automatic wakeup and periodic alarms from every
120 µs to every 36 hours.
• A 20-bit prescaler is used for the time base clock. It is by default configured to generate
a time base of 1 second from a clock at 32.768 kHz.
• Reference clock detection: a more precise second source clock (50 or 60 Hz) can be
used to enhance the calendar precision.
The 4-Kbyte backup SRAM is an EEPROM-like area.It can be used to store data which
need to be retained in VBAT and standby mode.This memory area is disabled to minimize
power consumption (see Section 3.18: Low-power modes). It can be enabled by software.
