LPC1549 RTC goes forward 5-6 sec per hour

Hi,

I'm trying to use internal RTC of LPC1549 with 32Hkz cyristal and 33pf capacitors. (Capacitor value is proper according to calculation formula at UM). When i power off the controller, everything is OK, however RTC counter goes forward 5-6 sec per hour if power is on.
I can't figure out , and almost going crazy.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you measured V_BAT when powered off. And V_DD(A) when powered?

Thanks for your answer,

Yes, i've measured Vbat. 3.6V when power off and 3,62V when power on.

O.k., that's the upper limt. But what is the supply voltage for the chip when powered, V_DD(A)?

I have the same error. Every few minutes COUNT increased by two, and then there is no RTC_ALARM interrupt.

Hi all,

I am currently experiencing the exactly the same issue with the LPC1549 RTC. I have several boards and each of them has got the problem:

My application:

Chip: LPC1549JBD48

Identification: ZSD14372A (Production Year 2014 / Week 37 - Silicon revision A)

I am using a 32 KHz cylindrical Xtal with 22 pf capacitors.

Supply: all supplies are clean 3.3 V

The RTC oscillator frequency is routed to an I/O port thanks to the CLKOUT feature.

My frequency meter indicates 32767,84 Hz - This is a -6 ppm error, yielding a -4 seconds error per WEEK

The counter is used in basic SECONDS mode, without interrupt. I read its value once per second and I send it to my console. After a while, I see the RTC clock going forward several seconds per hour.

Errata sheet LPC15XX 2.2 - 17 february 2017 says:

3.5 RTC.1: Real Time Clock (RTC) does not work reliably.

Introduction: The RTC is a set of counters for measuring time when system power is on, and optionally when it is off. The RTC is clocked by a separate 32 kHz oscillator that produces a 1 Hz internal time reference.

Problem: The RTC COUNT should increment by one in one second. With the problem, the RTC COUNT might increment by more than one within one second, causing inaccurate time counting.

Work-around: None.

My questions:

1 - Assuming there is no direct work-around for this issue - Is there a known, simple and reliable way to use the on board 12 MHz Xtal oscillator to achieve coherence checking and remove the redundant pulses whenever they appear ?

2 - has this issue been fixed in new silicon. Are these new devices available ?

Thank you.

Regards,

Michel Kuenemann
