A real-time clock (RTC) is an electronic device (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that measures the passage of time.
In this article, we finally delve into the backup domain, a crucial step towards resolving the issue of state preservation across sleep modes. We initiate with a comprehensive exploration of the RTC backup registry, subsequently moving onto an analysis of the backup mechanisms for SRAM memory.
Another important element of STM32 is the backup domain. After a brief introduction to the topic, we will evaluate and test the standard solution for RESET, namely the use of variables in the “noinit” and “persistent” memory areas, a very interesting management. And we will write some simple functions to check the features of our devices.
After the timed, alarm and Serial wake-up, the most used one is the wake-up via an external source. In this case, we must pay attention to the pinout of our device to select the correct pin in the correct situation.
As usual our microcontrollers give a wide range of wake up sources, we already see a timed wake-up, and now we introduce the wake-up via RTC alarm and Serial of our STM32.
We have already described Idle mode and the relative power consumption, in this article we continue to measure power consumption of other sleep modes to have a brief comparison.
In a remote device, one important feature can be the power consumption, and like other devices, STM32 allows a set of Low Power states.
In this article, we look at the library to use and performance with our devices.
In a remote device, one important feature can be the power consumption, and like other devices, STM32 allows a set of Low Power states.
In the Arduino framework, these states are wrapped and simplified to allow the most straightforward management, but we will look at the original state of STM32 to better understand the test results.
In this article, we will delve into the inner workings of the STM32’s internal RTC and its associated clock system. We will also discuss the importance and implementation of battery backup (VBAT) in ensuring the accurate and uninterrupted operation of the RTC. Whether you’re a seasoned engineer or a beginner looking to broaden your knowledge, this article aims to provide you with an in-depth understanding of these key STM32 features, allowing you to unlock the full potential of your embedded systems.
