dear all

I am converting from PIC so I am not very sure what would be the best way to implement a real time clock in LPC 812. I'll have a 32khz external oscillator producing a 32khz square wave. When working with PIC all I had to do was connect it to one of the clk inputs to timer and then I could use it as interrupt every 32K cycles (one second). After the interrupt had been dealt with the PIC went to sleep so saved me a lot of power.

Can Something similar be done in LPC. I may have a GPS signal from time to time that I may be able to use to reset the clock if it has drifted a bit..

Thanks for your help.

good idea..it may increase the product cost a bit but may make life easier at development time
thanks

Of course you can keep your LPC busy with 32k/sec Interrupts :rolleyes:
But you could also invest 1€ in good old MCP79410 with real RTC and 1 sec output :)
