Can the same RTC can be used for current time settings as well as to provide system tick?

Hi,

I am using nRF52382 controller and we are planning to put RTOS on it. Is it possible to use the same RTC for system ticks as well as to set current time?

Yes, you can use the same RTC instance for system ticks and something else, such as a counter for maintaining the current time. Note that as stated in the TICK event section of the spec the TICK event will be generated every time the counter is incremented. That means that you must select the prescaler based on the required system tick rate.
