Note: Range for alarm registers does not include mask’m’ bits.
The DS1305 can be run in either 12-hour or 24-hour mode. Bit 6 of the hours register is defined as the
12- or 24-hour mode select bit. When high, the 12-hour mode is selected. In the 12-hour mode, bit 5 is the
AM/PM bit with logic high being PM. In the 24-hour mode, bit 5 is the second 10-hour bit (20 to 23
hours).
The DS1305 contains two time-of-day alarms. Time-of-day Alarm 0 can be set by writing to registers 87h
to 8Ah. Time-of-day Alarm 1 can be set by writing to registers 8Bh to 8Eh. The alarms can be
programmed (by the INTCN bit of the control register) to operate in two different modes; each alarm can
drive its own separate interrupt output or both alarms can drive a common interrupt output. Bit 7 of each
of the time-of-day alarm registers are mask bits (Table 1). When all of the mask bits are logic 0, a time-
of-day alarm only occurs once per week when the values stored in timekeeping registers 00h to 03h
match the values stored in the time-of-day alarm registers. An alarm is generated every day when bit 7 of
the day alarm register is set to a logic 1. An alarm is generated every hour when bit 7 of the day and hour
alarm registers is set to a logic 1. Similarly, an alarm is generated every minute when bit 7 of the day,
hour, and minute alarm registers is set to a logic 1. When bit 7 of the day, hour, minute, and seconds
alarm registers is set to a logic 1, alarm occurs every second.
