* \brief Real Time Alarm Clock
*
* Implementation of the Real-Time Alarm Clock as per SNP Specifications.
* It provides real-time and phase controlled timer module while it
* cooperates with hardware RTC for low-power operation.
*
* It provides a replacement for a system 32-bit UTC time/date counter.
*
* It runs at maximum STM32 allowed precision of 16384 Hz, providing
* resolution of 61 us, required by the Sensor Network Protocol.

/** Power optimization of base systick timer
*
* 1. Simple method to skip wake-ups:
* - ask timers about the min. period, which is Ns * systick
* - set the preload register with floor(Ns) * DEFAULT_PRELOAD
* - on wake-up call routines Ns times.
*
* 2. If intermediate ISR occuried then:
* - check how many periods have passed by reading the counter: Np
* - set the new counter value as (counter % DEFAULT_PRELOAD)
* - call timer routines Np times; the next call is as usual, starting
* at 1. point above
*
* This is okay if ISR's do not read timers, if they read timers then:
* - on ISR wake-up the code described under 2. must be called first
* (on wake-up from IDLE)
*
* BUT: the problem is that SYSTICK does not run in Stop mode but RTC
* only, so it might be better to replace SYSTICK with RTAC (this
* module) and do the job above, permitting ultra low power modes of
* 25 uA or further down to 5 uA.
