USING THE CLOCK ALARM
The alarm settings and control for the DS1553 reside within registers 1FF2h–1FF5h. Register 1FF6h
contains two alarm-enable bits: Alarm Enable (AE) and Alarm in Backup Enable (ABE). The AE and
ABE bits must be set as described below for the
condition.
The alarm can be programmed to activate on a specific day of the month or repeat every day, hour,
minute, or second. It can also be programmed to go off while the DS1553 is in the battery-backed state of
operation to serve as a system wakeup. Alarm mask bits AM1–AM4 control the alarm mode. Table 3
shows the possible settings. Configurations not listed in the table default to the once-per-second mode to
notify the user of an incorrect alarm setting.
Table 3. Alarm Mask Bits
When the RTC register values match Alarm register settings, the Alarm Flag bit (AF) is set to 1. If the
Alarm Flag Enable (AE) is also set to 1, the alarm condition activates the
