RTC – To write some initial value to the clock and read

back

Connections : Port 0 Upper is connected to SCL and SDA, Pins 1 and 0

respectively. Connectors K 21 and K 3 are to be connected

(Zone – F and Zone – G)

Output : A value is written into location 0x02 of the RTC and is read back and

displayed on the BCD decoder based display. Since 00 is written into

the Control Register (0x00), the RTC is on. Therefore the value read

back and the value written in will differ by a small margin, as the clock

is running.
