Event control

nRF5340 Product Specification

To optimize the RTC power consumption, events in the RTC can be individually disabled to prevent PCLK16M and HFCLK from being requested when those events are triggered. This is managed using the EVTEN register.

This means that the RTC implements a slightly different task and event system compared to the standard system described in Peripheral interface. The RTC task and event system is illustrated in the following figure.
