14.4.3 RTC Seconds Low Register (RTSL)
Bits 15 to 0: RTC Seconds Low (RTSL.[15:0]). This register contains the least significant bits for the 32-bit second counter. The RTC
is a ripple counter that consists of a cascaded 32-bit second counter (RTSH, RTSL) and an 8-bit sub-second counter (RTSS). This reg-
ister is write-accessible when RTCE = 0 and BUSY = 0, and should be read-only when RDY = 1.
14.4.4 RTC Sub-Seconds Register (RTSS)
Bits 7 to 0: RTC Sub-Seconds (RTSS.[7:0]). This ripple counter represents 1/256 second resolution for the RTC, and its content is
incremented with each 256Hz clock tick derived from the 32.768 kHz oscillator (or alternate clock source if ACS = 1). When the RTSS
counter rolls over, its output is used to drive the 32-bit seconds counter. This register is write-accessible when RTCE = 0 and BUSY =
0, and should be read-only when RDY = 1.
