Real time clock and calendar

8.4.7 Register Years

[1]

When the register Years overflows from 99 to 00, the century bit C in the register Months is toggled.

The PCF8564A compensates for leap years by adding a 29th day to February if the year

counter contains a value which is divisible by 4, including the year 00.

8.5 Setting and reading the time

Figure 5 shows the data flow and data dependencies starting from the 1 Hz clock tick.

During read/write operations, the time counting circuits (memory locations 02h through

08h) are blocked.

This prevents

• Faulty writing or reading of the clock and calendar during a carry condition

• Incrementing the time registers, during the read cycle

After this read/write access is completed, the time circuit is released again and any

pending request to increment the time counters, that occurred during the read access, is

serviced. A maximum of 1 request can be stored; therefore, all accesses must be

completed within 1 second (see Figure 6).
