Real-Time Clock
This chapter describes the real-time clock (RTC) module, which is composed of six blocks as shown in
Figure 11-1: the prescaler, time-of-day (TOD) clock, TOD alarm, programmable real-time interrupt,
watchdog timer, and minute stopwatch, as well as control registers and bus interface hardware. The RTC
module can generate three different level 4 interrupts to the interrupt controller. The RTC can also generate
a watchdog system reset. The following sections describe how each block operates and interacts with other
modules in both the RTC and the MC68VZ328.
