CLOCK OPERATIONS–READING THE CLOCK
While the double-buffered register structure reduces the chance of reading incorrect data, internal updates
to the DS1642 clock registers should be halted before clock data is read to prevent reading of data in
transition. However, halting the internal clock register updating process does not affect clock accuracy.
Updating is halted when a 1 is written into the read bit, the 7th most significant bit in the control register.
As long as a 1 remains in that position, updating is halted. After a halt is issued, the registers reflect the
count, that is day, date, and time that was current at the moment the halt command was issued. However,
the internal clock registers of the double-buffered system continue to update so that the clock accuracy is
not affected by the access of data. All of the DS1642 registers are updated simultaneously after the clock
status is reset. Updating occurs within a second after the read bit is written to 0.
