LPC11U68 RTC configuration

Hi,

For the first time I'm using an LPC11U68 microprocessor.
It's not clear for me if, in order to obtain an Real Time Clock, some external components are necessary (crystal and capacitors at pins RTCXIN and RTCXOUT) or the microprocessor has a complete internal generato for this purpose.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance!

Mattia

Hi,
In LPCOPEN sample code there isn't any clear sample to read hour and minute and ... for lpc11e68 .
Is it has  LPC_RTC->SEC or somthing like that ?

Hi,

Please also refer to the "RTC oscillator component selection" in the datasheet to select the correct capacitors for the 32 kHz crystal you will be using.

Thanks.

Yes, as described in Datasheet and UM10732:

Quote:
8.22 Real-Time Clock (RTC)
The RTC resides in a separate always-on voltage domain with battery back-up. The RTC uses an[color=#f00] independent oscillator[/color], also located in the always-on voltage domain.

Thank you,

so you can confirm me that the crystal is necessary? This is what I suppose.
