Pcf 8583

[srspinho]

Hi Friends,

I´m trying to use the Phillips PCF 8583 in my project.

But, after some tests, I discovered a strange problem.

After 59 minutes and 59 seconds, instead of going to 01:00:00 the RTC goes to 81:00:00

And, when I decode the data to calculate the elapsed time in seconds, I got a completely wrong result.

I have never noticed that problem before because I had never used this RTC as a chronometer as I´m doing now.

I´m sending a small code I wrote to test the RTC.

The pin A0 of 8583 is grounded.

Have ever you seen this problem ?

Thank you

===================== Test Code ================
Define LCD_DREG PORTA
Define LCD_DBIT 0
Define LCD_RSREG PORTB
Define LCD_RSBIT 4
Define LCD_EREG PORTB
Define LCD_EBIT 5


SDA var PORTB.1 ' I2C data pin
SCL var PORTB.2 ' I2C clock pin
H var byte
M var Byte
S var Byte

Pause 500
I2CWrite SDA,SCL, %10100001,2,[0,0,0]
pause 100

LOOP:

I2CRead SDA, SCL, %10100001,2,[S,M,H]
pause 100
lcdout $FE, 2, Hex2(h),":",Hex2(M),":",Hex2(S)

goto LOOP

END

Hi Sérgio,

Bit 7 of the hour register indicates if the device is in 12 or 24 hour mode. Also Bit 6 is the am/pm indicator, if in 12hour mode. They should be masked out to display a valid hour reading.

H = H & %00111111 ' Mask out hour mode flags

Of course, that doesn't explain why it changes all of the sudden. It should power up in the 24 hour mode, bit7=0. Here's a couple things to think about.

The CONTROL byte of the I2CREAD command should always have a 0 in the lowest bit. Yours is set to 1. So, instead of %10100001, it should be 10100000. PBP automaticaly sets that bit depending on whether it's a read or a write, but in the manual, it states that this bit "should be kept clear"

The PCF8583 is a 100khz device. If your OSC speed is greater than 8mhz you may need to use DEFINE I2C_SLOW 1

HTH,

I use this routine and work
S var byte
M var byte
H var byte

symbol SCL = portc.3
symbol SDA = portd.0

DecimaleSec var byte
DecimaleMin var byte
DecimaleOra var byte
S1 var byte
S2 var byte
M1 var byte
M2 var byte
H1 var byte
H2 var byte

I2CREAD SDA,SCL,%10100001,2,[S]

I2CREAD SDA,SCL,%10100001,3,[M]

I2CREAD SDA,SCL,%10100001,4,[H]

You must convert BCD format

DecimaleSec = ((S >> 4) * 10) + (S & $0f)
S1 = DecimaleSec dig 1
S2 = DecimaleSec dig 0

DecimaleMin = ((M >> 4) * 10) + (M & $0f)
M1 = DecimaleMin dig 1
M2 = DecimaleMin dig 0

DecimaleOra = ((H >> 4) * 10) + (H & $0f)
H1 = DecimaleOra dig 1
H2 = DecimaleOra dig 0


LCDOUT dec(H1),dec(H2),":",dec(M1),dec(M2),":",Dec(S1),de c(S2)

Hi friends,

After the changes suggested by Darrel, the RTC is working fine.
It´s strange the fact of the RTC start working in 12 hour mode.

I have already used this RTC before and I had never had problem before.
But now it´s fixed !

Thanks Darrel e Gzorzi for your answers !

Please.... i'm new and i'd like to know how to set time in pcf8583 which command i need to use ?

busin %10100001,0,2,[hour,min,sec] 'for read ecc
but for change time and rewrite in 8583 ?
