The M41T00 clock continually monitors the supply voltage (Vcc) for an out of tolerance
condition. If Vcc falls below switch-over voltage (Vso), the M41T00:
• Terminates an access in progress
• Resets the device address counter
• Does not recognize inputs (prevents erroneous data from being written)
At power-up, the M41T00 uses Vcc at Vso and recognizes inputs.

CLOCK OPERATION

Read the seven Clock registers one byte at a time or in a sequential block. Access the Con-
trol register (address location 7) independently. An update to the Clock registers is delayed
for 250 ms to allow the read to be completed before the update occurs. This delay does not
alter the actual clock time. The eight byte clock register sets the clock and reads the date
and time from the clock, as summarized in Table7-1.
