Bits Name Description
0:5 — Reserved
6 set_time A bit used in conjunction with pause_time bit (below) to cause a new time to be programmed
into the RTC. After a proper software sequence, the values in the *_set fields below are
loaded.
The proper software sequence is:
1. Write register with pause_time 1 and set_time 0
2. Write register with pause_time 1 and set_time 1
3. Write register with pause_time 1 and set_time 0
4. Write register with pause_time 0 and set_time 0
At completion of Step 4, RTC is updated with the new time.
The C24Hour_set, Minute_set, and the Second_set fields should remain consistent values
throughout the four steps (i.e., at the desired new time values).
Note: Read-modify-write operations may disrupt this procedure, it is advised that four
simple writes occur. Byte writes to this byte are also acceptable.
7 pau se_time Used with set_time above to perform time update. Must be zero for normal operation.

10 SlctHour This bit determin es the hour output format.
low bit = 24-hour format
high bit = 12-hour format with AM/ PM
Note: This bit does NOT affect time set procedure, it only affects how the Hour Status field
is presented.
11:15 C24Hour_set Hour in 24-hour format written in RTC after successful state machine transition by set_time
and pause_time bits.
Note: This field is always written with 24-Hour format, it is NOT affected by SlctHour bit
above.
