X1227
until the part powers up again. Writes to WEL bit do
not cause a nonvolatile write cycle, so the device is
ready for the next operation immediately after the stop
condition.
RTCF: Real Time Clock Fail Bit—Volatile
This bit is set to a ‘1’ after a total power failure. This is
a read only bit that is set by hardware (X1227 inter-
nally) when the device powers up after having lost all
power to the device. The bit is set regardless of
whether V
CC
or V
BACK
is applied first. The loss of only
one of the supplies does not result in setting the RTCF
bit. The first valid write to the RTC after a complete
power failure (writing one byte is sufficient) resets the
RTCF bit to ‘0’.
Unused Bits:
This device does not use bits 3 or 4 in the SR, but
must have a zero in these bit positions. The Data Byte
output during a SR read will contain zeros in these bit
locations.
CONTROL REGISTERS
The Control Bits and Registers, described under this
section, are nonvolatile.
Block Protect Bits—BP2, BP1, BP0
The Block Protect Bits, BP2, BP1 and BP0, determine
which blocks of the array are write protected. A write to a
protected block of memory is ignored. The block protect
bits will prevent write operations to one of eight segments
of the array. The partitions are described in Table 3 .

ON-CHIP OSCILLATOR COMPENSATION
Digital Trimming Register (DTR) — DTR2, DTR1
and DTR0 (Non-Volatile)
The digital trimming Bits DTR2, DTR1 and DTR0
adjust the number of counts per second and average
the ppm error to achieve better accuracy.
DTR2 is a sign bit. DTR2=0 means frequency
compensation is > 0. DTR2=1 means frequency
compensation is < 0.
DTR1 and DTR0 are scale bits. DTR1 gives 10 ppm
adjustment and DTR0 gives 20 ppm adjustment.
A range from -30ppm to +30ppm can be represented
by using three bits above.
