Register C - R – 8 bits - [RTC_Reg: 0Ch]
Field Name Bits Default Description
Update Ended Interrupt Flag(UF) 4 0b This bit is set to one after each upd ate cycle.
Reading Register C clears UF.
Alarm Interrupt Flag (AF) 5 0b This bit is set to one if second, minute and hour time
has matched the second, minute and hour alarm
time. Reading Register C clears AF bit.
Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF) 6 0b This bit is set to one when an edge is detected on
the selected tap (through RS3 to RS0) of the
frequency divider. Reading Register C clears PF bit.
Interrupt Request Flag (IRQF) 7 0b Logically, IRQF =
(PF*PIE)+(AF*AIE)+(UF*UIE)+(WF*WIE) where WF
and WIE are defined in Extended Control Register
4A and 4B. Reading Register C clears IRQF bit.
Any time the IRQF bit is set to one, the #IRQ pin is
driven low.
Register C: Control register

PM_Reg 7Ch Bit4=1.) Binary-Code-Decimal format.
Leap year correction is done through hardware. This
register can be set by software (SET bit of Register B =
1) or can be automatically updated by hardware every
century. When set by software, hardware updating is
disabled.
