IRQF1 (Interrupt 1 Request Flag) – A logic 1 in the interrupt request flag bit indicates that the current

time has matched the Alarm 1 registers. If the AIE1 bit is also a logic 1, the INT1 pin generates a 62.5ms

active-high pulse. IRQF1 is cleared when the address pointer goes to any of the alarm 1 registers during a

TRICKLE CHARGE REGISTER (READ 11H, WRITE 91H)

This register controls the trickle charge characteristics of the DS1306. The simplified schematic of Figure

3 shows the basic components of the trickle charger. The trickle charge select (TCS) bits (bits 4–7)

control the selection of the trickle charger. In order to prevent accidental enabling, only a pattern of 1010

enables the trickle charger. All other patterns disable the trickle charger. The DS1306 powers up with the

trickle charger disabled. The diode select (DS) bits (bits 2–3) select whether one diode or two diodes are

in Table 2.
