CLOCK OPERATION

The

eight

byte

clock

(see

Table

2., page 12) is used to both set the clock and to

read the date and time from the clock, in a binary

coded decimal format. Reserved0, Seconds, Min-

utes, and Hours are contained within the first four

registers.

Bits D0 through D2 of Register 04h contain the

Day (day of week). Registers 05h, 06h, and 07h

contain the Date (day of month), Month, and

Years. Bit D7 of Register 01h contains the STOP

Bit (ST). Setting this bit to a '1' will cause the oscil-

lator to stop. When reset to a '0' the oscillator re-

starts within one second (typical).

Bits D6 and D7 of Clock Register 06h (Century/

Month Register) contain the CENTURY Bit 0

(CB0) and CENTURY Bit 1 (CB1).

Bit D6 of Register 0Ch (Alarm Hour Register) con-

tains the SQW Open Drain Bit (SQWOD). When

this bit is set to '1,' the Square Wave output will be-

come an open drain output and require a pull-up

resistor.

Note: A WRITE to ANY location within the first

eight bytes of the clock register (00h-07h), includ-

ing the 60Hz Bit and CB0-CB1 Bits will result in an

update of the system clock and a reset of the divid-

er chain. This could result in an inadvertent

change of the current time. These non-clock relat-

ed bits should be written prior to setting the clock,

and remain unchanged until such time as a new

clock time is also written.

The eight Clock Registers may be read one byte at

a time, or in a sequential block. Provision has been

made to assure that a clock update does not occur

while any of the eight clock addresses are being

read. If a clock address is being read, an update of

the clock registers will be halted. This will prevent

a transition of data during the READ.

Digital Clock Input

The M41T50 requires an external square wave

clock source of 50Hz or 60Hz (45% to 55% duty

cycle) for the clock function. Bit D7 (60Hz bit) of

tween a 50Hz (60Hz Bit = '0') or a 60Hz (60Hz Bit

= '1') clock input frequency signal. The 60Hz Bit

defaults to '1' on power-up.

TIMEKEEPER® Registers

The M41T50 offers 16 internal registers which

contain Clock, Alarm, and Flag Registers. The

Clock registers are memory locations which con-

tain external (user accessible) and internal copies

of the data (usually referred to as BiPORT™ TIME-

KEEPER cells). The external copies are indepen-

dent of internal functions except that they are

updated periodically by the simultaneous transfer

of the incremented internal copy. The internal di-

vider (or clock) chain will be reset upon the com-

pletion of a WRITE to any clock address (00h to

07h).

The system-to-user transfer of clock data will be

halted whenever the address being read is a clock

address (00h to 07h). The update will resume ei-

ther due to a Stop Condition or when the pointer

increments to a non-clock address.

TIMEKEEPER and Alarm Registers store data in

BCD format.
