„ Alarm 1 Function and INT2 Pin Output Mode
In the output mode for INT2 pin, users are able to select the output;
alarm 2 interrupt, user-set frequency, per-minute edge interrupt, minute-periodical interrupt. To switch the output mode for
INT2 pin and the alarm 1 function, use the status register 2. Refer to 3. Status register 2 in “„ Configuration of
Register”.
When switching the output mode for INT2 pin, be careful of the output status of the pin. Especially, when using alarm 2
interrupt output, or the output of user-set frequency, switch the output mode after setting “00h” in the INT2 register. In
per-minute edge interrupt output/minute-periodical interrupt output, it is unnecessary to set data in the INT2 register for
users.
Refer to the followings regarding each operation of output modes.
1. Alarm 1 function and alarm 2 interrupt
Alarm 2 interrupt output is the function to set the INT2 flag “H” by the output “L” from the INT2 pin, at the alarm time
which is set by user has come. If setting the pin output to “H”, turn off the alarm function by setting “0” in INT2AE in the
status register 2.
By Read, the INT2 flag is once cleared automatically. In the alarm 1 function, the INT1 flag (B3 in the status register1) is
set to “H” when the set time has come. The INT1 flag is also cleared once by Read.
In the alarm 1 function, set the data of day of the week, hour, minute of the alarm time in the INT1 register. In alarm 2
interrupt, set in the INT2 register. Refer to “4. INT1 register and INT2 register” in “„ Configuration of Register”.
