TABLE 16-3:
The Alarm Value register window (ALRMVALH and
ALRMVALL) uses the ALRMPTR bits (ALRMCFG<1:0>)
to select the desired Alarm register pair.
By reading or writing to the ALRMVALH register, the
Alarm Pointer value, ALRMPTR<1:0>, decrements
by 1 until it reaches ‘00’. Once it reaches ‘00’, the
ALRMMIN and ALRMSEC value will be accessible
through ALRMVALH and ALRMVALL until the pointer
value is manually changed.
TABLE 16-4:
16.2.9
The real-time crystal input can be calibrated using the
periodic auto-adjust feature. When properly calibrated,
the RTCC can provide an error of less than three
seconds per month.
To perform this calibration, find the number of error
clock pulses and store the value in the lower half of the
RTCCAL register. The 8-bit, signed value – loaded into
RTCCAL – is multiplied by ‘4’ and will either be added
or subtracted from the RTCC timer, once every minute.

Writes to the RTCCAL register should occur only when
the timer is turned off, or immediately after the rising
edge of the seconds pulse.
Note:
(Ideal Frequency (32,758) – Measured Frequency) *
60 = Error Clocks per Minute
Use another timer resource on the device to find
the error of the 32.768 kHz crystal.
Convert the number of error clock pulses per

result from step 2), the RTCCALL register value
needs to be negative. This causes the specified
number of clock pulses to be subtracted from
the timer counter once every minute.
result from step 2), the RTCCALL register value
needs to be positive. This causes the specified
number of clock pulses to be added to the timer
counter once every minute.
In determining the crystal’s error value, it
is the user’s responsibility to include the
crystal’s initial error from drift due to
temperature or crystal aging.
