bit 7 bit 0
Legend:
R = Readable bit W = Writable bit U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0
-n = Value at POR ‘1’ = Bit is set ‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
bit 15 ALRMEN: Alarm Enable bit
1 = Alarm is enabled (cleared automatically after an alarm event whenever ARPT[7:0] = 00h and
CHIME = 0)
0 = Alarm is disabled
bit 14 CHIME: Chime Enable bit
1 = Chime is enabled; ARPT[7:0] bits are allowed to roll over from 00h to FFh
0 = Chime is disabled; ARPT[7:0] bits stop once they reach 00h
bit 13-10 AMASK[3:0]: Alarm Mask Configuration bits
0000 = Every half second
0001 = Every second
0010 = Every ten seconds
0011 = Every minute
0100 = Every ten minutes
0101 = Every hour
0110 = Once a day
0111 = Once a week
1000 = Once a month
1001 = Once a year (except when configured for February 29th, once every four years)
101x = Reserved; do not use
11xx = Reserved; do not use
bit 9-8 ALRMPTR[1:0]: Alarm Value Register Window Pointer bits
Points to the corresponding Alarm Value registers when reading ALRMVALH and ALRMVALL registers;
the ALRMPTR[1:0] value decrements on every read or write of ALRMVALH until it reaches ‘00’.
ALRMVAL[15:8]:
00 = ALRMMIN
01 =ALRMWD
10 =ALRMMNTH
11 = Unimplemented
ALRMVAL[7:0]:
00 = ALRMSEC
01 =ALRMHR
10 =ALRMDAY
11 = Unimplemented
bit 7-0 ARPT[7:0]: Alarm Repeat Counter Value bits
11111111 = Alarm will repeat 255 more times
...
00000000 = Alarm will not repeat
The counter decrements on any alarm event. The counter is prevented from rolling over, from 00h to
FFh, unless CHIME = 1.
