PCF2129
Accurate RTC with integrated quartz crystal for industrial applications
The R/W bit defines the direction of the following single or multiple byte data transfer (read
is logic 1, write is logic 0).
For the format and the timing of the START condition (S), the STOP condition (P), and the
acknowledge (A) refer to the I
2
C-bus specification Ref. 13 “UM10204” and the
characteristics table (Table 82
). In the write mode, a data transfer is terminated by sending
a STOP condition. A repeated START (Sr) condition is not applicable.
9.3 Bus communication and battery backup operation
To save power during battery backup operation (see Section 8.5.1), the bus interfaces are
inactive. Therefore the communication via I
2
C- or SPI-bus should be terminated before
the supply of the PCF2129 is switched from V
DD
to V
BAT
.
Remark: If the I
2
C-bus communication was terminated uncontrolled, the I
2
C-bus has to
be reinitialized by sending a STOP followed by a START after the device switched back
from battery backup operation to V
DD
supply operation.
