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. Bits

RPT5–RPT1 put the alarm in the repeat mode of operation. Table 6. Alarm repeat modes 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 (M41T62/65), the alarm condition activates the

IRQ /OUT or IRQ /FT/OUT pin. To disable the alarm, write '0' to the alarm date register and to RPT5–RPT1.

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.

The IRQ output is cleared by a READ to the flags register as shown in Figure 20. Alarm interrupt reset waveform.

A subsequent READ of the flags register is necessary to see that the value of the alarm flag has been reset to '0.'
