Setting the alarm clock registers

Address locations 0Ah-0Eh (Alarm 1) and 14h-18h (Alarm 2) contain the alarm settings.

Either alarm can be configured independently 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. Bits RPT15–RPT11 and RPT25-RPT21 put the alarms in the repeat mode of

operation. Table6 on page28 shows the possible bit 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 RPT15–RPT11 and/or RPT25-RPT21, AF1 (Alarm 1

Flag) or AF2 (Alarm 2 Flag) is set. If A1IE (Alarm 1 Interrupt Enable) is set, the alarm

condition activates the IRQ/FT/OUT output pin. To disable either of the alarms, write a '0' to

the Alarm Date Registers and to the RPTx5–RPTx1 Bits.

Note:

If the address pointer is allowed to increment to the Flag Register address, or the last

address written is “Alarm Seconds,” the address pointer will increment to the Flag address,

and an alarm condition will not cause the Interrupt/Flag to occur until the address pointer is

moved to a different address.

The IRQ output is cleared by a READ to the Flags Register (0Fh) as shown in Figure 14. A

subsequent READ of the Flags Register is necessary to see that the value of the Alarm Flag

has been reset to '0.'.

The IRQ/FT/OUT pin can also be activated in the battery back-up mode (see Figure 15 on

page 28).
