Period

The RTC.PERL and RTC.PERH register pair represents the 16-bit value, PER. The low byte [7:0] (suffix L) is accessible at the original offset. The high byte [15:8] (suffix H) can be accessed at offset + 0x01.

Due to synchronization between the RTC clock and system clock domains, there is a latency of two RTC clock cycles from updating the register until this has an effect. Application software needs to check that the PERBUSY flag in RTC.STATUS is cleared before writing to this register.

Bits 15:8 – PER[15:8][7:0]: Period High Byte

Period High Byte

These bits hold the MSB of the 16-bit Period register.

Bits 7:0 – PER[7:0][7:0]: Period Low Byte

Period Low Byte

These bits hold the LSB of the 16-bit Period register.
