My question relates to the M41T81 Real Time Clock. Wasn't sure which topic to post in so picked this one since the RTC interfaces to an 8 bit micro. My problem is that the RTC doesn't always recover from power-down correctly.
The data sheet for this part says that after power loss the HT bit is set, and any reads of the clock will return the time of the last read. Then after the HT bit is cleared one should be able to read the current time since the clock is battery backe...
