摘要:
A very low power real-time clock is provided. The real-time clock includes a real-time clock core and a real-time clock controller, both included in an electronic device. The core is powered both when the electronic device is powered on and when it is powered off. When the electronic device is powered off, the core operates on battery power. The controller is powered off when the electronic device is powered off, to save power. The core maintains a tick count and a seconds count. Because the core is powered on even when the electronic device is powered off, the core continues to update the tick count and seconds count even when the electronic device is powered off. The controller provides access, to external components, to the core. By not powering the controller when the electronic device is powered off, non-core functions do not draw power from a battery.
