20.2.5. Missing SmaRTClock Detector
The missing SmaRTClock detector is a one-shot circuit enabled by setting MCLKEN (RTC0CN.6) to 1.
When the SmaRTClock Missing Clock Detector is enabled, OSCFAIL (RTC0CN.5) is set by hardware if
SmaRTClock oscillator remains high or low for more than 100 µs.
A SmaRTClock Missing Clock detector timeout can trigger an interrupt, wake the device from a low power
mode, or reset the device. See Section “12. Interrupt Handler” on page 136, Section “14. Power
Management” on page 159, and Section “18. Reset Sources” on page 184 for more information.
Note: The SmaRTClock Missing Clock Detector should be disabled when making changes to the oscillator settings in
RTC0XCN.
20.2.6. SmaRTClock Oscillator Crystal Valid Detector
The SmaRTClock oscillator crystal valid detector is an oscillation amplitude detector circuit used during
crystal startup to determine when oscillation has started and is nearly stable. The output of this detector
can be read from the CLKVLD bit (RTX0XCN.4).
Notes:
• The CLKVLD bit has a blanking interval of 2 ms. During the first 2 ms after turning on the crystal oscil-
lator, the output of CLKVLD is not valid.
• This SmaRTClock crystal valid detector (CLKVLD) is not intended for detecting an oscillator failure.
The missing SmaRTClock detector (CLKFAIL) should be used for this purpose.
20.3. SmaRTClock Timer and Alarm Function
The SmaRTClock timer is a 32-bit counter that, when running (RTC0TR = 1), is incremented every
SmaRTClock oscillator cycle. The timer has an alarm function that can be set to generate an interrupt,
wake the device from a low power mode, or reset the device at a specific time. See Section “12. Interrupt
Handler” on page 136, Section “14. Power Management” on page 159, and Section “18. Reset Sources”
on page 184 for more information.
The SmaRTClock timer includes an Auto Reset feature, which automatically resets the timer to zero one
SmaRTClock cycle after an alarm occurs. When using Auto Reset, the Alarm match value should always
be set to 1 count less than the desired match value. Auto Reset can be enabled by writing a 1 to ALRM
(RTC0CN.2).
20.3.1. Setting and Reading the SmaRTClock Timer Value
The 32-bit SmaRTClock timer can be set or read using the six CAPTUREn internal registers. Note that the
timer does not need to be stopped before reading or setting its value. The following steps can be used to
set the timer value:
1. Write the desired 32-bit set value to the CAPTUREn registers.
2. Write 1 to RTC0SET. This will transfer the contents of the CAPTUREn registers to the SmaRT-
Clock timer.
3. Operation is complete when RTC0SET is cleared to 0 by hardware.
The following steps can be used to read the current timer value:
1. Write 1 to RTC0CAP. This will transfer the contents of the timer to the CAPTUREn registers.
2. Poll RTC0CAP until it is cleared to 0 by hardware.
3. A snapshot of the timer value can be read from the CAPTUREn registers
