Issue with external RTC mcp9941x alarms

[krishkrishna]

Hi..Guys...

I am trying to make use of both rtc alarms(alarm0 & alarm1) of mcp7941x chip.

But i am seeing one problem if enable both the alarms that is when i get the ALM0IF(alarm1 interrupt flag) flag set at that time ALM1IF(alarm1 interrupt flag) also getting set.without alarm1 match condtion.

Let's say my alarm 0 & alarm1 match condition is based on minutes and my ALM0 is for 2 mins and ALM1 is for 5 mins then when ALM0 match occurs i am seeing both flags getting set.

Can anybody help me out this.

And here the code i am using for alarm config and set alm time.

void config alarm()
{
SetALM0Time();
DelayMs(2);

SetALM1Time();
DelayMs(2);
RTCINTInit();//enabling rtc interrupt
DelayMs(2);
}

void SetALM0Time(void)
{
unsigned int temp;

WriteAddress[0] = RTC_WRITE_ADDR;

temp = ReadOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0CTL);
temp = temp & 0xF0;
DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0CTL, uint2bcd(temp));
DelayMs(2);

RdRTC(&TStatus);
DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0MTH, uint2bcd(TStatus.MONTH));
DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0DAT, uint2bcd(TStatus.DATE));
DelayMs(2);

temp = TStatus.MIN + AL0_TASKDURATION;

if(temp >= 60)
{
temp -= 60;
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0MIN, uint2bcd(temp));
DelayMs(2);

if(TStatus.HOUR == 23)
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0HR, 0);
else
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0HR, uint2bcd(TStatus.HOUR + 1));
}
else
{
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0MIN, uint2bcd(TStatus.MIN + AL0_TASKDURATION));
DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0HR, uint2bcd(TStatus.HOUR));
}
DelayMs(2);

WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0SEC, uint2bcd(TStatus.SEC));
DelayMs(2);

WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM0CTL, ALMx_POL + ALMxC_MIN);

DelayMs(2);
// WriteOnI2C(ADDR_CTRL, ALM_01); //Enable ALM01
// DelayMs(2);
}

void SetALM1Time(void)
{
unsigned int temp1;

WriteAddress[0] = RTC_WRITE_ADDR;

temp1 = ReadOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1CTL);
temp1 = temp1 & 0xF0;
DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1CTL, uint2bcd(temp1));
DelayMs(2);

RdRTC(&TStatus);
DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1MTH, uint2bcd(TStatus.MONTH));
DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1DAT, uint2bcd(TStatus.DATE));
DelayMs(2);

temp1 = TStatus.MIN + AL1_TASKDURATION;

if(temp1 >= 60)
{
temp1 -= 60;

WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1MIN, uint2bcd(temp1));
DelayMs(2);

if(TStatus.HOUR == 23)
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1HR, 0);
else
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1HR, uint2bcd(TStatus.HOUR + 1));
}
else
{
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1MIN, uint2bcd(TStatus.MIN + AL1_TASKDURATION));
DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1HR, uint2bcd(TStatus.HOUR));
}

DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1SEC, uint2bcd(TStatus.SEC));
DelayMs(2);

WriteOnI2C(ADDR_ALM1CTL, ALMx_POL + ALMxC_MIN);

DelayMs(2);
WriteOnI2C(ADDR_CTRL, ALM_01);
DelayMs(2);
}

i would be very Grateful to you if anyone help me............

Can you wrap this as code rather then text?

Some more information:
1.) Circuit setup
2.) Interrupt setup (I see that is called but I don't see where you do this at)
3.) Address definitions

 

[milan.rajik]

Post complete code and circuit.

And Regarding circuit set up..
2.2k pull ups is been connected to my SCL and SDA lines.
and 10k Pullup is connected to my external interrupt pin...
And my RTC clock is 100 KHz.

Re: Issue with external RTC mcp7941x alarms

Kindly Let me know guys. If is there any mistake in my code..or my interrupt set up.
