M48T201Y, M48T201V
Clock operation
Note:
If a battery low indication is generated during the 24-hour interval check, this indicates that
the battery is near end of life. However, data is not compromised due to the fact that a
nominal VCC is supplied. In order to insure data integrity during subsequent periods of
battery backup mode, the battery should be replaced. The SNAPHAT® top may be replaced
while VCC is applied to the device.
This will cause the clock to lose time during the interval the battery/crystal is removed.
The M48T201Y/V only monitors the battery when a nominal VCC is applied to the device.
Thus applications which require extensive durations in the battery backup mode should be
powered-up periodically (at least once every few months) in order for this technique to be
beneficial. Additionally, if a battery low is indicated, data integrity should be verified upon
power-up via a checksum or other technique.

Initial power-on defaults
Upon application of power to the device, the following register bits are set to a '0' state:
WDS; BMB0-BMB4; RB0-RB1; AFE; ABE; SQWE; W; R; FT (see Table 9).
