Description M41T00AUD

1 Description

The M41T00AUD is a low-power serial real-time clock (RTC) with an integral audio section
with tone generator and 300 mW output amplifier. The RTC is a superset of the M41T00
with enhancements such as a precision reference for switchover, an oscillator fail detect
circuit, and storing of the time at power-down. The audio section includes a summing
amplifier (inverting) at the input. An 8 kHz low-pass filter follows that with a 16-step
programmable gain stage next. A 256 or 512 Hz audio tone can be switched into the filter in
place of the input signal. From the gain stage, the 300 mW amplifier drives the output pins.
The M41T00AUD has a built-in power sense circuit which detects power failures and
automatically switches to the backup input when VCC is removed. Backup power can be
supplied by a capacitor or by a battery such as a lithium coin cell. The device includes a
trickle charge circuit for charging the capacitor.
The RTC includes a built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator controlled by an external crystal. Eight
register bytes are used for the clock/calendar functions and are superset compatible with the
M41T00. Two additional registers control the audio section and the trickle charger. The 10
registers (see Table 2) are accessed over a 400 kHz I2C bus. The address register
increments automatically after each byte READ or WRITE operation thus streamlining
transfers by eliminating the need to send a new address for each byte to be transferred.
Typical data retention times will be in excess of 5 years with a 50 mAh 3 V lithium cell (see
RTC DC characteristics, Table 12 for more information).

Operation M41T00AUD

4 Operation

The M41T00AUD clock operates as a slave device on the serial bus. Access is obtained by
implementing a start condition followed by the correct slave address (D0h). The 10 bytes
contained in the device can then be accessed sequentially in the following order:

Table 2. List of registers

Byte address Contents

00h Seconds register

01h Minutes register
02h Century/hours register
03h Day register
04h Date register
05h Month register
06h Years register
07h Calibration/control register
08h Audio register
09h Control2 register

The M41T00AUD continually monitors VCC for an out of tolerance condition. Should VCC fall
below VPFD, the device terminates an access in progress and resets the device address
counter. Inputs to the device will not be recognized at this time to prevent erroneous data
from being written to the device from an out of tolerance system. When VCC falls below VSO,
www.DataSheet.net/

the device automatically switches over to the backup battery or capacitor and powers down
into an ultra low current mode of operation to conserve battery life. Upon power-up, the
device switches from battery to VCC at VSO and recognizes inputs.

M41T00AUD Operation

4.1 2-wire bus characteristics

This bus is intended for communication between different ICs. It consists of two lines: one
bi-directional for data signals (SDA) and one for clock signals (SCL). Both the SDA and the
SCL lines must be connected to a positive supply voltage via a pull-up resistor.
The following protocol has been defined:
● Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
● During data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is high.
Changes in the data line while the clock line is high will be interpreted as control
signals.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined:
● Bus not busy. Both data and clock lines remain high.
● Start data transfer. A change in the state of the data line, from high to low, while the
clock is high, defines the START condition.
● Stop data transfer. A change in the state of the data line, from low to high, while the
clock is high, defines the STOP condition.
● Data valid. The state of the data line represents valid data when after a start condition,
the data line is stable for the duration of the high period of the clock signal. The data on
the line may be changed during the low period of the clock signal. There is one clock
pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a start condition and terminated with a stop condition.
The number of data bytes transferred between the start and stop conditions is not limited.
The information is transmitted byte-wide and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth bit.
By definition, a device that gives out a message is called "transmitter", the receiving device
that gets the message is called "receiver". The device that controls the message is called
"master". The devices that are controlled by the master are called "slaves".
www.DataSheet.net/

● Acknowledge. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one acknowledge bit. This
acknowledge bit is a low level put on the bus by the receiver, whereas the master
generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse.
A slave receiver which is addressed is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte. Also, a master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock
pulse in such a way that the SDA line is a stable Low during the high period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold times must be taken into
account. A master receiver must signal an end-of-data to the slave transmitter by not
generating an acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this
case, the transmitter must leave the data line high to enable the master to generate the
STOP condition.

4.3 READ mode

In this mode, the master reads the M41T00AUD slave after setting the slave address (see
Figure 8). Following the WRITE mode control bit (R/W = 0) and the acknowledge bit, the
word (register) address An is written to the on-chip address pointer. Next the START
condition and slave address are repeated, followed by the READ mode control bit (R/W = 1).
At this point, the master transmitter becomes the master receiver. The data byte which was
addressed will be transmitted and the master receiver will send an acknowledge bit to the
slave transmitter. The address pointer is only incremented on reception of an acknowledge
bit. The device slave transmitter will now place the data byte at address An+1 on the bus.
The master receiver reads and acknowledges the new byte and the address pointer is
incremented to An+2.
This cycle of reading consecutive addresses will continue until the master receiver sends a
STOP condition to the slave transmitter.
An alternate READ mode may also be implemented, whereby the master reads the
M41T00AUD slave without first writing to the (volatile) address pointer. The first address
that is read is the last one stored in the pointer (see Figure 10).

4.4 WRITE mode

In this mode the master transmitter transmits to the M41T00AUD slave receiver. Bus
protocol is shown in Figure 11. Following the START condition and slave address, a logic '0'
(R/W = 0) is placed on the bus and indicates to the addressed device that word address An
will follow and is to be written to the on-chip address pointer. The data word to be written to
the device is strobed in next and the internal address pointer is incremented to the next
location within the device on the reception of an acknowledge clock. The M41T00AUD slave
receiver will send an acknowledge clock to the master transmitter after it has received the
slave address and again after it has received the word address and each data byte (see

5 M41T00AUD clock operation

5.1 Clock registers

The 10-byte register map (see Table 2) is used to both set the clock and to read the date
and time from the clock, in a binary coded decimal format.
Seconds, minutes, and hours are contained within the first three registers. Bits D6 to D0 or
register 00h (seconds register) contain the seconds count in BCD format with values in the
range 0 to 59. Bit D7 is the ST or stop bit, described below, and is not affected by the
timekeeping operation, but users must avoid inadvertently altering it when writing the
seconds register.
Setting the ST bit to a 1 will cause the oscillator to stop. If the device is expected to spend a
significant amount of time on the shelf, the oscillator may be stopped to reduce current drain
on the backup battery. When reset to a 0 the oscillator restarts within one second.
In order to ensure oscillator start-up after the initial power-up, set the ST bit to a 1 then write
it to 0. This sequence enables the "kick start" circuit which aids the oscillator start-up by
temporarily increasing the oscillator current. This will guarantee oscillator start-up under
worst case conditions of voltage and temperature. This feature can be employed anytime
the oscillator is being started but should not occur on subsequent power-ups when the
oscillator is already running.
Bits D6 to D0 of register 01h (minutes register) contain the minutes count in BCD format
with values in the range 0 to 59. Bit D7 always reads 0. Writing it has no effect.
Bits D5 to D0 of register 02h (century/ hours register) contain the hours in BCD format with
values in the range 0 to 23. Bits D7 and D6 contain the century enable bit (CEB) and the
century bit (CB). CB provides a one-bit indicator for the century. The user can apply his
www.DataSheet.net/

preferred convention for defining the meaning of this bit. For example, 0 can mean the
current century, and 1 the next, or the opposite meanings may be used.
When enabled, CB will toggle every 100 years. Setting CEB to a 1 enables CB to toggle at
the turn of the century, either from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0, depending on its initial state, as
programmed by the user. When CEB is a 0, CB will not toggle.
Bits D2 through D0 of register 03h (day register) contain the day of the week in BCD format
with values in the range 0 to 7. Bits D3 and D7 will always read 0. Writes to them have no
effect. Bits D6, D5 and D4 will power up in an indeterminate state.
Register 04h contains the date (day of month) in BCD format with values in the range 01 to
31. Bits D7 and D6 always read 0. Writes to them have no effect.
Register 05 h is the Month in BCD format with values in the range 1 to 12. Bits D7, D6 and
D5 always read 0. Writes to them have no effect.
Register 06h is the years in BCD format with values in the range 0 to 99. Writing to any of
the registers 00h to 06h, including the control bits therein, will result in updates to the
counters and resetting of the internal clock divider chain including the 256/512 Hz tone
generator. The updates do not occur immediately after the write(s), but occur upon
completion of the current write access. This is described in greater detail in the next section.
Registers 07h and 09h also contain clock control and status information. These registers
can be written at any time without affecting the timekeeping function.

M41T00AUD M41T00AUD clock operation

Register 08 is the calibration register. Calibration is described in detail in the clock

calibration section. Bit D7 is the OUT bit and controls the discrete output pin IRQ/FT/OUT as
described in Table 5.

5.1.1 Halt bit operation

Bit D7 of register 09 h is the HT or halt bit. Whenever the device switches to backup power,
it sets the HT bit to 1 and stores the time of power-down in the transfer buffer registers. This
is known as power-down time stamp. During normal timekeeping, once per second, the
transfer buffer registers are updated with the current time. When HT is 1, that updating is
halted. The clock continues to keep time but the periodic updates do not occur.
Upon power-up, reads of the clock registers will return the time of power-down (assuming
adequate backup power was maintained while VCC was off). After the user clears the HT bit
by writing it to 0, subsequent reads of the clock registers will return the current time.
At power-up, the user can read the time of power-down, and then clear the HT bit to allow
updates. The next read will return the current time. Knowing both the power-up time and the
power-down time allows the user to calculate the duration of power-off.
In addition to the HT bit getting set to 1 automatically at power-down, the user can also write
it to 1 to halt updating of the registers.

5.1.2 Oscillator fail detect operation

Bits D5 and D4 of register 09 h contain the oscillator fail flag (OF) and the oscillator fail
interrupt enable bit (OFIE). If the 32 KHz oscillator drops four or more pulses in a row, as
might occur during an extended outage while backed up on a capacitor, the OF bit will be set
to 1. This provides an indication to the user of the integrity of the timekeeping operation.
Whenever the OF bit is a 1, the system should consider the time to be possibly corrupted
due to operating at too low a voltage. The OF bit will always be 1 at the initial power-up of
www.DataSheet.net/

the device. The OF bit is cleared by writing it to 0. At the initial power-up, users should wait
three seconds for the oscillator to stabilize before clearing the OF bit.
OFIE can be used to enable the device to assert its interrupt output whenever an oscillator
failure is detected. The oscillator fail interrupt will drive the IRQ/FT/OUT pin as described in
Table 5. The interrupt is cleared by writing the OF bit to 0. Setting OFIE enables the
oscillator fail interrupt. Clearing it to 0 disables it, but the OF will continue to function
regardless of OFIE.

5.1.3 Trickle charger

Bits D6 and D3 to D0, of register 09h, control the trickle charge function. It is described in
detail in the trickle charge circuit section.

M41T00AUD clock operation M41T00AUD

5.2 Reading and writing the clock registers

The counters used to implement the timing chain in the real-time clock are not directly
accessed by the serial interface. Instead, as depicted in Figure 12, reads and writes are
buffered through a set of transfer registers. This ensures coherency of the timekeeping
function.
During writes of the timekeeping registers (00h to 06h), the write data is stored in the buffer
transfer registers until all the data is written, then the register contents are simultaneously
transferred to the counters thus updating them. The update is triggered either by a STOP
condition or by a write to one of the non RTC registers, 07h to 09h. If any of the buffer
transfer registers are not written, then the corresponding counters are not updated. Instead,
those counters will retain their previous contents when the update occurs.
Similar to the writes, reads access the buffer transfer registers. The device periodically
updates the registers with the counter contents. But during reads, the updates are
suspended. Timekeeping continues, but the registers are frozen until after a STOP
condition or a non RTC register (07h to 09h) is read. Suspending the updates ensures that
a clock roll-over does not occur during a user read cycle.
The seven clock registers may be read one byte at a time, or in a sequential block. The
calibration, audio and Control2 registers, location 07 h to 09 h, may be accessed
independently.
Provision has been made to ensure that a clock update does not occur while any of the
seven clock addresses are being read. During a clock register read (addresses 00h to 06h),
updates of the clock transfer buffer registers are halted. The clock counters continue to keep
time, but the contents of the transfer buffer registers is frozen at the time that the read
access began.
This prevents a transition of data during the READ. For example, without the halt function, if
the time incremented past midnight in the middle of an access sequence, the user might
www.DataSheet.net/

begin reading at 11:59:59pm and finish at 12:00:00am. The data read might appear as
12:59:59 because the seconds and minutes were read before midnight while the hours were
read after. The device prevents this by halting the updates of the registers until after the read
access has occurred.

5.3 Priority for IRQ/FT/OUT pin

Three functions share pin 5 of the M41T00AUD. The oscillator fail interrupt (IRQ), the
calibration frequency test output (FT) and the discrete logic output (OUT) all use this pin.
In normal operation, when operating from VCC, the interrupt function has priority over the
frequency test function which in turn has priority over the discrete output function.
In the backup mode, when operating from VBACK, the priorities are different. The interrupt
and frequency test functions are disabled, and only the discrete output function can be
used.
When operating from VCC, if the oscillator fail interrupt enable bit is set (OFIE, D4 of register
09h), the pin is an interrupt output which will be asserted anytime the OF bit (D5 of register
09h) goes true. (See Section 5 for more details.)
During calibration, the pin can be used as a frequency test output. When FT is a 1 (and
OFIE a 0), the device will output a 512 Hz test signal on this pin. Users can measure this
with a frequency counter and use that result to determine the appropriate calibration register
value.
Otherwise, when OFIE is a 0 and FT is a 0, it becomes the discrete logic OUT pin and
reflects the value of the OUT bit (D7 of register 07h).
When operating from VBACK, the discrete output function can still be used. The
IRQ/FT/OUT pin will reflect the contents of the out bit.
Note: The IRQ/FT/OUT pin is open drain and requires an external pull-up resistor.

5.4 Switchover thresholds

While the M41T00AUD includes a precision reference for the backup switchover threshold, it
is not a fixed value, but depends on the backup voltage, VBACK. The device will always
switchover at the lesser of the reference voltage (VPFD, approximately 2.8 V) and VBACK.
This ensures that it stays on VCC as long as possible before switching to the backup supply.
As shown in Figure 13, whenever VBACK is greater than VPFD, switchover occurs when VCC
drops below VPFD.
Conversely, when VBACK is less than VPFD, switchover occurs when VCC drops below
VBACK. Table 14 provides the values of these voltages.

5.5 Trickle charge circuit

The M41T00AUD includes a trickle charge circuit to be used with a backup capacitor. It is
illustrated in Figure 14. VBACK is a bi-directional pin. Its primary function is as the backup
supply input. (The input nature is not depicted in the figure.) The trickle charge output
function is a secondary capability, and reduces the need for external components.
To enable trickle charging, two switches must be closed. A diode is present to prevent
current from flowing backwards from VBACK to VCC. A current limiting resistor is also in the
path.
An additional switch allows the diode to be bypassed through a 20 k resistor. This should
charge the capacitor to a higher level thus extending backup life. This switch automatically
opens when the device switches to backup thus preventing capacitor discharge to VCC.
Furthermore, at switchover to backup, the other switches open as well. The application
must close them after power-up to re-enable the trickle charge function.
The use of two switches in the chain is to protect against accidental, unwanted charging as
might be the case when using battery backup. Additionally, one of the two switches requires
four bits to be changed from the default value before it will close. This prevents single bit
errors from closing the switch. The four bits, TCHE3:TCHE0, reside in register 09h at bits
D3 to D0.
The control bit for the second switch, TCH2, resides in register 08h at bit D5. With this bit in
a separate register, two bytes must be written before charging will occur, again protecting
against inadvertent charging due to errors.
The control bit for the bypass switch, TCFE, resides in register 09h at bit D6.
To enable trickle charging, the user must set TCHE3:TCHE0 to 5h, and TCH2 to 1. To
bypass the diode, TCFE must be set to 1. All three fields must be enabled after each power-
up. www.DataSheet.net/

Clock calibration M41T00AUD

6 Clock calibration

The M41T00AUD oscillator is designed for use with a 12.5 pF crystal load capacitance. With
a nominal ±20 ppm crystal, the M41T00AUD will be accurate to ±35 ppm. When the
calibration circuit is properly employed, accuracy improves to better than ±2 ppm at 25 °C.
The M41T00AUD design provides the following method for clock error correction.

6.1 Digital calibration (periodic counter correction)

This method employs the use of periodic counter correction by adjusting the number of
cycles of the internal 512 Hz signal counted in a second. By adding an extra cycle, for 513,
a long second is counted for slowing the clock. By reducing it to 511 cycles, a short second
is counted for speeding up the clock.
Not every second is affected. The calibration value (bits D4-D0 of register 07h) and its sign
bit (D5 of same register) control how often a short or long second is generated.
The basic nature of a 32 KHz crystal is to slow down at temperatures above and below
25 °C. Whether the temperature is above or below 25 °C, the device will tend to run slow.
Therefore, most corrections will need to speed the clock up. Hence, the M41T00AUD
calibration circuit uses a non-symmetric calibration scheme. Positive values, for speeding
the clock up, have more effect than negative values, for slowing it down. A positive value will
speed the clock up by approximately 4 ppm per step. A negative value will slow it by
approximately 2 ppm per step.
In the M41T00AUD's calibration circuit, positive correction is applied every 8th minute
whereas negative correction is applied every 16th minute. Because positive correction is
applied twice as often, it has twice the effect for a given calibration number, N. When the
www.DataSheet.net/

calibration sign bit is positive, N seconds of every 8th minute will be shortened to 511 cycles
of the 512 Hz clock. When the calibration sign bit is negative, N seconds of every 16th
minute will be lengthened to 513 cycles of the 512 Hz clock.
When N is positive, one minute will have N seconds which are 511 cycles and the remaining
seconds will be 512 cycles. The next seven minutes are nominal with all seconds 512
cycles each.

Example 1:
Sign is 1 and N is 2 (00010b)
The 8-minute interval will be:
2 * 511 + (60-2) * 512 + 7 * 60 * 512 = 245758 cycles long out of a possible
512 * 60 * 8 = 245760 cycles of the 512 Hz clock in an 8-minute span.
This gives a net correction of (245760-245758) / 245760 = -8.138 ppm
When N is negative, one minute will have N seconds which are 513 cycles and the
remaining seconds will be 512 cycles. The next 15 minutes are nominal with all seconds
512 cycles each.

24/42 Doc ID 13480 Rev 5

Datasheet pdf - http://www.DataSheet4U.co.kr/

M41T00AUD Clock calibration

Example 2:
Sign is 0 and N is 3 (00010b). The 16-minute interval will be:
3 * 513 + (60-3) * 512 + 15 * 60 * 512 = 491523 cycles long out of a possible
512 * 60 * 16 = 491520 cycles of the 512 Hz clock in an 16-minute span.
This gives a net correction of (491520-491523) / 491520 = +6.104 ppm
Therefore, each calibration step has an effect on clock accuracy of either -4.068 or +2.034
ppm. Assuming that the oscillator is running at exactly 32,768 Hz, each of the 31 steps in
the calibration byte would represent subtracting 10.7 or adding 5.35 seconds per month,
which corresponds to a total range of –5.5 or +2.75 minutes per month.
Note: The modified pulses are not observable on the frequency test (FT) output, nor will the effect
of the calibration be measurable real-time, due to the periodic nature of the error
compensation.

input signals will be summed at unity gain.
An audio switch follows the amplifier. A tone, selectable between 256 and 512 Hz, can be
inserted into the audio stream in lieu of the input amplifier's output.
A low pass filter is next with a cut off of 8 kHz. To get a band pass with a 100 Hz low end,
the user should place an appropriate coupling capacitor at the input pin.

Audio section operation M41T00AUD

7.1 Gain
The programmable gain stage follows the band pass filter. It provides between –33 and
+12 dB of gain, in 3 dB steps (+/-1 dB per step). The gain is selected by the GAIN bits, D3-
D0 of register 08h, as listed in Table 4. A MUTE bit, D4 of the same register, allows the
audio to be cut off altogether.
At the first power-up, GAIN will be initialized to its lowest value, 0, corresponding to a gain of
–33 dB. Furthermore, MUTE will be set thus cutting off all audio.
On subsequent power-ups, GAIN is unaffected, but the MUTE bit is always set to turn off the
audio at power-up.
The final section is the output driver. It has a differential output capable of driving 300mW
into an 8 Ω load.
The overall gain of the M41T00AUD is defined as the ratio of the AC output voltage, AOUT,
and the AC input voltage, SIN, as shown in Figure 16. The 0.1 uF input coupling capacitor
blocks any DC in the input signal.

Equation 1 Overall gain = AOUT / SIN

AOUT is measured between the output pins AOUT+ and AOUT–.

AOUT = AOUT+ - AOUT–
Each of the output levels is determined by the ratio of the feedback and input resistors along
with the GAIN value.
AOUT+ = SIN x AV x R2/R1
www.DataSheet.net/

AOUT– = -SIN x AV x R2/R1

where AV is the scalar gain as shown in Table 7. Substituting these into Equation 1 above
yields:

AOUT = SIN x AV x R2/R1 - (-SIN x AV x R2/R1) = 2 SIN x AV x R2/R1

With R1 = 2*R2, this reduces to AOUT = SIN x AV. Thus, when R1 = 2*R2, the gain levels in
Table 7 reflect overall gain of the circuit (at mid-band frequencies, about 1kHz with the
indicated 0.1 uF capacitor). For GAIN set to B (0 dB, AV = 1), the output voltage will be
equal to the input (±1 dB).

7.1.1 Gain tolerance

Two tolerance parameters apply to the gain levels. As shown in Table 7, upper and lower
limits are listed for four of the GAIN values (4, 5, Bh and Eh). For GAIN=Bh, the tolerance is
±1 dB. This means the end-to-end gain of the part, with R1 = 2*R2, will be 0±1 dB. For
GAIN = 4, 5 and Eh, the tolerance is ±2 dB. At each of these three settings, as shown in
table 7, the gain will be within 2 dB of the listed typical value. For GAIN =E, the end-to-end
gain will be between +7 and +11 dB (9±2 dB).

30/42 Doc ID 13480 Rev 5

Datasheet pdf - http://www.DataSheet4U.co.kr/

M41T00AUD Audio section operation

The other parameter pertains to the gain step size, a relative measurement. It is shown in
Table 16 as 3±1 dB. For any gain setting in Table 7, the next higher (or lower) setting is
guaranteed to be between 2 and 4 dB higher (or lower). For example, even though no upper
and lower limits are shown for GAIN = Ch, it is tested to be at 3±1 dB of the case when
GAIN=Bh, one step below. If GAIN=Bh tests to -0.5 dB, then GAIN=Ch is tested to have an
end-to-end gain of 2.5±1 dB. If GAIN=Bh tests to +0.5 dB, then GAIN=Ch is tested to be
3.5±1 dB.
This applies to all steps except the lowest one (from GAIN=0 to GAIN=1) which is not tested.
In summary, for GAIN=1 to GAIN=Fh, all steps are tested to have a 1dB step size tolerance
of the listed 3 dB step size. The unity gain setting, Bh, will have an end-to-end gain of
0±1dB while the three levels for GAIN=4, 5 and Eh are tested to be within ±2 dB of the
typical gain values listed in Table 7.

7.2 Wake-up time: TWU

When the device powers on, the bypass capacitor CBIAS will not be charged immediately. As
CBIAS is directly linked to the bias of the amplifier, the amplifier will not work properly until
the capacitor is charged. The time to reach this voltage is called the wake-up time or TWU
and is specified in the electrical characteristics, Table 16, for CBIAS = 1 µF.

Initial conditions M41T00AUD

8 Initial conditions

The first time the M41T00AUD is powered up, some of its registers will automatically have
their bits set to pre-determined levels as depicted in the Table 5. Typically, these values are
set to benign levels to ensure predictable operation of the device.
ST, the stop bit, is a 0 at first power-up thus enabling the oscillator to run without need of
user intervention. On subsequent power-ups, it is not altered by the device and remains at
the last value programmed by the user. All other bits listed as unchanged (UC) in the table
behave similarly during power cycles.
The HT or halt bit is always set to 1 thus halting updates of the transfer buffer registers. The
user must write it to 0 to allow updates to resume.
The discrete output function available on the IRQ/FT/OUT pin is set to 1. This is an open
drain output, and thus a 1 represents a high impedance condition.
FT or frequency test is always disabled on power-ups. The OF or oscillator fail bit will
always be 1 on the first power-up since the oscillator is always off prior to the first application
of VCC.
The trickle charger is always turned completely off after any power-up. The bits affecting it
are set to levels which keep all the trickle charge switches open. Both TCH2 and TCFE are
0 which opens their corresponding switches. TCHE3:TCHE0 are set to Ah, which is the
exact opposite of the value (5) required to close the corresponding switch.
On first power-up, the tone selects bits, 256/512 and TONE, are set to select the 512 hertz
tone, but have the function disabled (see Section 7). On subsequent power-ups, the
256/512 select bit remains unchanged, but TONE is always cleared. Furthermore, the
MUTE bit is always set to MUTE on all power-ups, disabling all audio.
www.DataSheet.net/

The four-bit audio gain value is always set to the lowest setting (0) on initial power-up, but
remains unaffected by subsequent power cycles.
The 5-bit calibration register and its associated sign bit are set to 0 on initial power-up thus
resulting in no correction applied to the timekeeping operation. On subsequent power-ups,
the contents are not altered.
