3.1 RTC registers
The M41T6x user interface is comprised of 16 memory mapped registers which include
clock, calibration, alarm, watchdog, flags, and square wave control. The eight clock
counters are accessed indirectly via a set of buffer/transfer registers while the other eight
registers are directly accessed. Data in the clock and alarm registers is in BCD format.
Figure 20. Buffer/transfer registers
Updates
During normal operation when the user is not accessing the device, the buffer/transfer
registers are kept updated with a copy of the RTC counters. At the start of an I
2
C read or
write cycle, the updating is halted and the present time is frozen in the buffer/transfer
registers.
Reads of the clock registers
By halting the updates at the start of an I
2
C access, the user is ensured that all the data
transferred out during a read sequence comes from the same instant in time.
