SETTING THE CLOCK

The MSB Bit, B7, of the control register is the write bit. Setting the write bit to a 1, like the read bit halts
updates to the DS1647 registers. The user can then load them with the correct day, date and time data in
24-hour BCD format. Resetting the write bit to a 0 then transfers those values to the actual clock counters
and allows normal operation to resume.

STOPPING AND STARTING THE CLOCK OSCILLATOR

The clock oscillator may be stopped at any time. To increase the shelf life, the oscillator can be turned off
to minimize current drain from the battery. The

OSC

bit is the MSB for the second’s registers. Setting it

to a 1 stops the oscillator.

FREQUENCY TEST BIT

Bit 6 of the day byte is the frequency test bit. When the frequency test bit is set to logic 1 and the
oscillator is running, the LSB of the second’s register will toggle at 512 Hz. When the seconds register is
being read, the DQ0 line will toggle at the 512 Hz frequency as long as conditions for access remain valid
(i.e.,

CE

low,

OE

low, and address for seconds register remain valid and stable).
