8.8.8 Setting and reading the time
Figure 13
During read/write operations, the time counting circuits (memory locations 03h through
09h) are blocked.
This prevents
After this read/write access is completed, the time circuit is released again and any
pending request to increment the time counters that occurred during the read/write access
is serviced. A maximum of 1 request can be stored; therefore, all accesses must be
completed within 1 second (see
As a consequence of this method, it is very important to make a read or write access in
one go, that is, setting or reading seconds through to years should be made in one single
access. Failing to comply with this method could result in the time becoming corrupted.

Faulty reading of the clock and calendar during a carry condition
Incrementing the time registers during the read cycle
shows the data flow and data dependencies starting from the 1 Hz clock tick.
