Functional Description (Continued)

The Delay Enable bit is used when a power fail occurs

If this bit is set a 480 ms delay is generated internally before

the mP interface is locked out This will enable the mPto

access the registers for up to 480 ms after it receives a

power fail interrupt After a power failure is detected but

prior to the 480 ms delay timing out the host mP may force

immediate lock out by resetting the Delay Enable bit Note if

this bit is a 0 when power fails then after a delay of 30 ms

min63 ms max the mP cannot read the chip

This read only bit is set and reset by the voltage at the

VBB pin It can be used by the mP to determine whether the

battery voltage at the VBB pin is getting too low A compara-

tor monitors the battery and when the voltage is lower than

21V (typical) this bit is set The power fail interrupt must be

enabled to check for a low battery voltage

Time Save Enable bit controls the loading of real-time-

clock data into the Time Save RAM When a one is written

to this bit the Time Save RAM will follow the corresponding

clock registers and when a zero is written to this bit the time

in the Time Save RAM is frozen This eliminates any syn-

chronization problems when reading the clock thus negat-

ing the need to check for a counter rollover during a read

cycle

This bit must be set to a one prior to power failing to enable

the Time Save feature When the power fails this bit is auto-

matically reset and the time is saved in the Time Save RAM

These are the leap year counter bits These bits are

written to set the number of years from the previous leap

year The leap year counter increments on December 31st

and it internally enables the February 29th counter state

This method of setting the leap year allows leap year to

occur whenever the user wishes to thus providing flexibility

in implementing Japanese leap year function

The count mode for the hours counter can be set to

either 24 hour mode or 12 hour mode with AMPM indicator

A one will place the clock in 12 hour mode

This bit is the master StartStop bit for the clock When

a one is written to this bit the real time counter’s prescaler

and counter chain are enabled When this bit is reset to zero

the contents of the real time counter is stopped and the

prescaler is cleared When the RTC is initially powered up

this bit will be held at a logic 0 until the oscillator starts

functioning correctly after which this bit may be modified If

an oscillator fail event occurs this bit will be reset to logic 0

This bit controls the operation of the interrupt output in

standby mode If set to a one it allows Alarm Periodic and

Power Fail interrupts to be functional in standby mode Note

that the MFO pin is configured as open drain in standby

mode

If bit D4 is set to a zero then bits D0 – D5 of Interrupt Control

1 will be reset when the RTC enters the standby mode

(VBB l VCC) They will have to be re-configured when sys-

tem (VCC) power is restored

These two bits select the crystal clock frequen-

cy as per the following table

All bits are ReadWrite and any mode written into this regis-

ter can be determined by reading the register On initial

power up these bits are random
