RTC Implementation
Increment of Nanoseconds Field
Figure 8-2 illustrates the implementation used to create the RTC nanoseconds field. This is
performed by the use of an implementation specific 20-bit sub-nanoseconds field as
illustrated. The nanoseconds and sub-nanoseconds fields can be considered to be
concatenated together.
All RTC logic within the core is synchronous to the RTC Reference Clock, rtc_clk.
