RTC with Constant-Voltage Trickle Charger
The three alarm bytes can be used in two ways. First,
when the alarm time is written in the appropriate hours,
minutes, and seconds alarm locations, the alarm inter-
rupt is initiated at the specified time each day, if the
alarm-enable bit is high. In this mode, the “0” bits in the
alarm registers and the corresponding time registers
must always be written to 0 (Table 2A and 2B). Writing
the 0 bits in the alarm and/or time registers to 1 can
result in undefined operation.
The second use condition is to insert a “don’t care”
state in one or more of the three alarm bytes. The don’t-
care code is any hexadecimal value from C0 to FF. The
two most significant bits of each byte set the don’t-care
condition when at logic 1. An alarm is generated each
hour when the don’t-care bits are set in the hours byte.
Similarly, an alarm is generated every minute with
don’t-care codes in the hours and minute alarm bytes.
The don’t-care codes in all three alarm bytes create an
interrupt every second.
All 128 bytes can be directly written or read, except for
the following:
1) Registers C and D are read-only.
2) Bit 7 of register A is read-only.
3) The MSB of the seconds byte is read-only.

X = Read/Write Bit.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, the state of the registers is not defined when power is first applied. Except for the seconds regis-
ter, 0 bits in the time and date registers can be written to 1, but may be modified when the clock updates. 0 bits should always be
written to 0 except for alarm mask bits.
