The date is automatically adjusted for months with less than 31 days and corrects for leap
years (valid until 2100). The internal watchdog timer provides programmable alarm
windows.
The nine clock bytes (7FFFFh-7FFF9h and 7FFF1h) are not the actual clock counters, they
are memory locations consisting of BiPORT™ READ/WRITE memory cells within the static
RAM array. Clock circuitry updates the clock bytes with current information once per second.
The information can be accessed by the user in the same manner as any other location in
the static memory array. Byte 7FFF8h is the clock control register. This byte controls user
access to the clock information and also stores the clock calibration setting.
Byte 7FFF7h contains the watchdog timer setting. The watchdog timer can generate either a
reset or an interrupt, depending on the state of the Watchdog Steering Bit (WDS). Bytes
7FFF6h-7FFF2h include bits that, when programmed, provide for clock alarm functionality.
Alarms are activated when the register content matches the month, date, hours, minutes,
and seconds of the clock registers. Byte 7FFF1h contains century information. Byte 7FFF0h
contains additional flag information pertaining to the watchdog timer, the alarm condition,
the battery status and square wave output operation. 4 bits are included within this register
(RS0-RS3) that are used to program the Square Wave Output Frequency (see

Address decoding
The M48T201Y/V accommodates 19 address lines (A0-A18) which allow direct connection
of up to 512K bytes of static RAM. Regardless of SRAM density used, timekeeping,
watchdog, alarm, century, flag, and control registers are located in the upper RAM locations.
