Setting alarm clock registers

Address locations 0Ah-0Eh contain the alarm settings. The alarm can be configured to go

off at a prescribed time on a specific month, date, hour, minute, or second, or repeat every

year, month, day, hour, minute, or second. It can also be programmed to go off while the

M41T94 is in the battery backup to serve as a system wake-up call.

Bits RPT5-RPT1 put the alarm in the repeat mode of operation. Table 5 on page 19 shows

the possible configurations. Codes not listed in the table default to the once per second

mode to quickly alert the user of an incorrect alarm setting.

When the clock information matches the alarm clock settings based on the match criteria

defined by RPT5-RPT1, the AF (alarm flag) is set. If AFE (alarm flag enable) is also set, the

alarm condition activates the IRQ/FT/OUT pin.

Note:

If the address pointer is allowed to increment to the flag register address, an alarm condition

will not cause the interrupt/flag to occur until the address pointer is moved to a different

address. It should also be noted that if the last address written is the “Alarm Seconds,” the

address pointer will increment to the flag address, causing this situation to occur.

To disable the alarm, write '0' to the alarm date register and to RPT1–5. The IRQ/FT/OUT

output is cleared by a READ to the flags register. This READ of the flags register will also

reset the alarm flag (D6; register 0Fh). See Figure 11 on page 19.

The IRQ/FT/OUT pin can also be activated in the battery backup mode. The IRQ/FT/OUT

will go low if an alarm occurs and both ABE (alarm in battery backup mode enable) and AFE

are set. The ABE and AFE bits are reset during power-up, therefore an alarm generated

during power-up will only set AF. The user can read the flag register at system boot-up to

determine if an alarm was generated while the M41T94 was in the deselect mode during

power-up. Figure 12 on page 20 illustrates the backup mode alarm timing.
