Legend:
R = Readable bit
W = Writable bit
‘1’ = Bit is set
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
-n = Value at POR
bit 15
ALRMEN: Alarm Enable bit
1= Alarm is enabled (cleared automatically after an alarm event whenever ARPT<7:0> = 00h and
CHIME = 0)
0= Alarm is disabled
bit 14
CHIME: Chime Enable bit
1= Chime is enabled; ARPT<7:0> bits are allowed to roll over from 00h to FFh
0= Chime is disabled; ARPT<7:0> bits stop once they reach 00h
bit 13-10
AMASK<3:0>: Alarm Mask Configuration bits
0000= Every half second
0001= Every second
0010= Every 10 seconds
0011= Every minute
0100= Every 10 minutes
0101= Every hour
0110= Once a day
0111= Once a week
1000= Once a month
1001= Once a year (except when configured for February 29th, once every 4 years)
101x= Reserved; do not use
11xx= Reserved; do not use
bit 9-8
ALRMPTR<1:0>: Alarm Value Register Window Pointer bits
Points to the corresponding Alarm Value registers when reading the ALRMVALH and ALRMVALL registers.
The ALRMPTR<1:0> value decrements on every read or write of ALRMVALH until it reaches ‘00’.
ALRMVAL<15:8>:
00= ALRMMIN
01= ALRMWD
10= ALRMMNTH
11= Unimplemented
ALRMVAL<7:0>:
00= ALRMSEC
01= ALRMHR
10= ALRMDAY
11= Unimplemented
bit 7-0
ARPT<7:0>: Alarm Repeat Counter Value bits
11111111= Alarm will repeat 255 more times
.
.
.
00000000= Alarm will not repeat
The counter decrements on any alarm event; it is prevented from rolling over from 00h to FFh unless
CHIME = 1.
