5.5.3 RTC Registers
The RTC registers can be accessed (see Section 5.4.2.1
"LDN 00h - Real-Time Clock" on page 104) at any time dur-
ing normal operation mode (i.e.,when VSB is within the rec-
ommended operation range). This access is disabled
during battery-backed operation. The write operation to
these registers is also disabled if bit 7 of the CRD Register
is 0.
Note: Before attempting to perform any start-up proce-
dures, read about bit 7 (VRT) of the CRD Register.
This section describes the RTC Timing and Control Regis-
ters that control basic RTC functionality.
