STM32L476VGT6 - RTC - Time after Reset

Hi guys,

The project that I am doing needs the RTC clock to be working all the time.

When VDD = 0V I have VBat powering the RTC. When the MCU reboots, I need to know if the time indicated by the RTC is correct, or if the time indicated by the RTC is wrong (eventually because of a drop in VBat).

Is there a way to detect if the RTC is showing the right time after a reset?

I am working with a STM32L476VGT6  MCU.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Measure the battery voltage upon poweron. If it is below the voltage guaranteed to run the RTC, consider time as unreliable or outright wrong.
