&lt;p&gt;Yes, different RTC instances can run synchronized by using PPI. On each PPI channel, the signals are synchronized to the 16 MHz clock. Use a &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v14.0.0/group__nrf__drv__ppi.html?cp=4_0_0_6_8_14_1_8#ga3c077e2eb26e4b72bef2c7d98c914524"&gt;PPI fork&lt;/a&gt; in order to start both RTC instances at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
