• Manufacturer Part Number: DS12R885
• Description: The DS12R885 is a functional drop-in replacement for the DS12885 real-time clock (RTC)
• Manufacturer: Maxim

Bit 7: Interrupt Request Flag (IRQF). This bit is set to
1 when any of the following are true:
Any time the IRQF bit is 1, the IRQ pin is driven low.
This bit can be cleared by reading Register C or with a
RESET.
Bit 6: Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF). This bit is read-
only and is set to 1 when an edge is detected on the
selected tap of the divider chain. The RS3 through RS0
bits establish the periodic rate. PF is set to 1 indepen-
dent of the state of the PIE bit. When both PF and PIE
are 1s, the IRQ signal is active and sets the IRQF bit.
This bit can be cleared by reading Register C or with a
RESET.
RTCs with Constant-Voltage Trickle Charger
Bit 7: Valid RAM and Time (VRT). This bit indicates
the condition of the battery connected to the V
pin. This bit is not writeable and should always be 1
when read. If a 0 is ever present, an exhausted internal
lithium energy source is indicated and both the con-
tents of the RTC data and RAM data are questionable.
This bit is unaffected by RESET.

Bit 5: Alarm Interrupt Flag (AF). A 1 in the AF bit indi-
cates that the current time has matched the alarm time.
If the AIE bit is also 1, the IRQ pin goes low and a 1
appears in the IRQF bit. This bit can be cleared by
reading Register C or with a RESET.
Bit 4: Update-Ended Interrupt Flag (UF). This bit is
set after each update cycle. When the UIE bit is set to
1, the 1 in UF causes the IRQF bit to be a 1, which
asserts the IRQ pin. This bit can be cleared by reading
Register C or with a RESET.
Bits 3 to 0: Unused. These bits are unused in Register
C. These bits always read 0 and cannot be written.
Bits 6 to 0: Unused. The remaining bits of Register D
are not usable. They cannot be written and they always
read 0.
