Alarms

The MCP7940X features two independent alarms. Each

alarm can be used to either generate an interrupt at a

specific time in the future, or to generate a periodic

interrupt every minute, hour, day, day of week, or month.

There is a separate interrupt flag, ALMxIF, for each

alarm. The interrupt flags are set by hardware when the

chosen alarm mask condition matches (Table 5-5). The

interrupt flags must be cleared in software.

If either alarm module is enabled by setting the

corresponding ALMxEN bit in the CONTROL register,

and if the square wave clock output is disabled

(SQWEN = 0), then the MFP will operate in alarm

interrupt output mode. Refer to Section 5.5 “Output

Configurations”

for details. The alarm interrupt output

is available while operating from the backup power

supply.

Both Alarm0 and Alarm1 offer identical operation. All

time and date values are stored in the registers as

binary-coded decimal (BCD) values.

Note:

Throughout this section, references to the

modules are referred to generically by the

use of ‘x’ in place of the specific module

number. Thus, “ALMxSEC” might refer to

the seconds register for Alarm0 or Alarm1.

Note 1:

The alarm interrupt flags must be cleared

by the user. If a flag is cleared while the

corresponding

alarm

condition

still

matches, the flag will be set again,

generating another interrupt.
