PCF8523

Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar

8.9 Timer function

The PCF8523 has three timers:

• Timer A can be used as a watchdog timer or a countdown timer (see Section 8.9.2). It

can be configured by using TAC[1:0] in the Tmr_CLKOUT_ctrl register (0Fh)

• Timer B can be used as a countdown timer (see Section 8.9.3). It can be configured

by using TBC in the Tmr_CLKOUT_ctrl register (0Fh)

• Second interrupt timer is used to generate an interrupt once per second (see

Section 8.9.4)

Timer A and timer B both have five selectable source clocks allowing for countdown

periods from less than 1 ms to 255 h. To control the timer functions and timer output, the

registers 01h, 0Fh, 10h, 11h, 12h, and 13h are used.

8.9.1.2

CLKOUT frequency selection

Clock output operation is controlled by the COF[2:0] in the Tmr_CLKOUT_ctrl register.

Frequencies of 32.768 kHz (default) down to 1 Hz can be generated (see Table 35) for

use as a system clock, microcontroller clock, input to a charge pump, or for calibration of

the oscillator.
