8.6 Oscillator stop detection function
The PCF2129T has an on-chip oscillator detection circuit which monitors the status of the
oscillation: whenever the oscillation stops, a reset occurs and the oscillator stop flag OSF
(in register Seconds) is set logic 1.
• Power-on:
a. The oscillator is not running, the chip is in reset (OSF is logic 1).
b. When the oscillator starts running and is stable after power-on, the chip exits from
reset.
c. The flag OSF is still logic 1 and can be cleared (OSF set logic 0) by command.
• Power supply failure:
a. When the power supply of the chip (VBBS, see Section 8.5.2) drops below a certain
value (Vlow), typically 1.2 V, the oscillator stops running and a reset occurs.
b. When the power supply returns to normal operation, the oscillator starts running
again, the chip exits from reset.
c. The flag OSF is still logic 1 and can be cleared (OSF set logic 0) by command.

(1) Theoretical state of the signals since there is no power.
(2) The oscillator stop flag (OSF), set logic 1, indicates that the oscillation has stopped and a reset has
occurred since the flag was last cleared (OSF set logic 0). In this case, the integrity of the clock
information is not guaranteed. The OSF flag is cleared by command.
