CLOCK OPERATIONS
Table 2 and the following paragraphs describe the operation of RTC, alarm, and watchdog functions.
Table 2. Register Map
CLOCK OSCILLATOR CONTROL
The clock oscillator can be stopped at any time. To increase the shelf life of the backup lithium battery
source, the oscillator can be turned off to minimize current drain from the battery. The OSC bit is the
MSB of the Seconds Register (B7 of 1FFF9h). Setting it to a 1 stops the oscillator, setting to a 0 starts the
oscillator. The DS1556 is shipped from Maxim with the clock oscillator turned off, OSC bit set to a 1.
X = Unused, Read/Writable Under Write and Read Bit Control
Y = Unused, Read/Writable Without Write and Read Bit Control
FT = Frequency Test Bit
OSC = Oscillator Start/Stop Bit
W = Write Bit
R = Read Bit
WDS = Watchdog Steering Bit
BMB0 to BMB4 = Watchdog Multiplier Bits
