7.6 Alarm registers
All alarm registers are allocated with a constant address offset of 08h to the
corresponding counter registers (see Figure 9).
An alarm signal is generated when the contents of the alarm registers match bit-by-bit the
contents of the involved counter registers. The year and weekday bits are ignored in a
dated alarm. A daily alarm ignores the month and date bits. When a weekday alarm is
selected, the contents of the alarm weekday and month register selects the weekdays on
which an alarm is activated (see Figure 11).
Remark: In the 12 hour mode, bits 6 and 7 of the alarm hours register must be the same
as the hours counter.
