is clocked at 32.768 kHz.
The first increment of the time circuits is between 0.507813 s and 0.507935 s after STOP
bit is released. The uncertainty is caused by the prescaler bits F
0
and F
1
not being reset
(see Table 26
) and the unknown state of the 32 kHz clock.
8.11 Reset
The PCF8563 includes an internal reset circuit which is active whenever the oscillator is
stopped. In the reset state the I
2
C-bus logic is initialized including the address pointer and
all registers are set according to Table 27
. I
2
C-bus communication is not possible during
reset.

[1] Registers marked x are undefined at power-up and unchanged by subsequent resets.
8.11.1 Power-On Reset (POR) override
The POR duration is directly related to the crystal oscillator start-up time. Due to the long
start-up times experienced by these types of circuits, a mechanism has been built in to
disable the POR and hence speed up on-board test of the device. The setting of this
mode requires that the I
2
C-bus pins, SDA and SCL, are toggled in a specific order as
shown in Figure 12
. All timings are required minimums.
Once the override mode has been entered, the device immediately stops, being reset,
and normal operation may commence i.e. entry into the EXT_CLK test mode via I
2
C-bus
access. The override mode may be cleared by writing logic 0 to TESTC. TESTC must be
set to logic 1 before re-entry into the override mode is possible. Setting TESTC to logic 0
during normal operation has no effect except to prevent entry into the POR override
mode.

9. Characteristics of the I
2
C-bus
The I
2
C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.
The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer may be initiated only
when the bus is not busy.
9.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time
will be interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 13
).
9.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy.
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START
condition - S.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition - P (see Figure 14
).
9.3 System configuration
A device generating a message is a transmitter; a device receiving a message is a
receiver. The device that controls the message is the master; and the devices which are
controlled by the master are the slaves (see Figure 15
).
