8.9 Alarm function
As an example, if the time (seconds through to hours) is set in one access and then in a
second access the date is set, it is possible that the time may increment between the two
accesses. A similar problem exists when reading. A roll over may occur between reads
thus giving the minutes from one moment and the hours from the next. Therefore it is
advised to read all time and date registers in one access.
When one or more of the alarm bit fields are loaded with a valid second, minute, hour, day,
or weekday and its corresponding alarm enable bit (AE_x) is logic 0, then that information
is compared with the actual second, minute, hour, day, and weekday (see
The generation of interrupts from the alarm function is described in
