CLEAR INSTRUCTION

(1) Indicates normal duration of INT pulse (bit TI_TP = 1).
Fig 18. Example of shortening the INT pulse by clearing the TF flag
The timing shown for clearing bit TF in Figure 18 is also valid for the non-pulsed interrupt
mode, i.e., when bit TI_TP = 0; INT may be shortened by setting bit TIE to logic 0.
8.7.3 Alarm interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the alarm function is controlled via bit AIE (see Table 8).
If bit AIE is enabled, the INT pin follows the condition of bit AF. Clearing bit AF will
immediately clear INT. No pulse generation is possible for alarm interrupts (see
Figure 19).

8.7.3.1 Correction pulse interrupts
Interrupt pulses generated by correction events can be shortened by writing logic 1 to bit
CIE in register Control_1.
