alarm condition activates the IRQ/FT pin. To disable the alarm, write '0' to the Alarm Date
Register and RPT1-4. The Alarm Flag and the IRQ/FT output are cleared by a READ to the
Flags Register as shown in Figure 10 on page 16. A subsequent READ of the Flags
Register is necessary to see that the value of the Alarm Flag has been reset to '0.'
The IRQ/FT pin can also be activated in the battery back-up mode. The IRQ/FT will go low if
an alarm occurs and both the ABE (Alarm in Battery Back-up Mode Enable) and the AFE
are set. The ABE and AFE bits are reset during power-up, therefore an alarm generated
during power-up will only set AF. The user can read the Flag Register at system boot-up to
determine if an alarm was generated while the M48T59/Y/V was in the deselect mode
during power-down. Figure 11 on page 17 illustrates the back-up mode alarm timing.
