PCF2127 clock IC RAM write/read |

I am trying to write & read to the RAM in the PCF2127 clock IC
using SPI.
The data sheet only shows the IIC sequence.
I can wr/rd the clock date & time and the configuration regs OK, so my hardware is good.
Has anyone done this? |

It's shown in Figure 38b on page 64 of the pcf2127 data sheet.
www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/PCF2127.pdf
The diagrams on the lower 2/3rd's of the page show how to do it.
Compare the code below to the diagrams.
Code: |
void write_pcf2127_ram(int16 addr, int8 data)
{
output_low(PCF2127_CS);
spi_xfer(0x3a);
spi_xfer(addr > 8); // addr msb
spi_xfer(addr); // addr lsb
output_high(PCF2127_CS);
output_low(PCF2127_CS);
spi_xfer(0x3c);
spi_xfer(data);
output_high(PCF2127_CS);
}

The code above is for writing one byte only. The diagrams show how
to write multiple bytes. In that case you would supply a pointer to an
array. The function above would have to be re-written somewhat.
The reading of RAM is shown on page 65. You can write that one. |

thanks for quick reply!
my 'write byte' is in the same sequence as you show.
Can you show me the 'read a byte' code?
The datsheet IIC routine is confusing: it shows to setup the read adress,
then a write to reg 1D ? then data read.... |

your datasheet is newer than mine.. which does not have the SPI examples
I am doing write & read as per your datasheet, but still can only get 00's back from the RAM... |

Found my problem ! my write routine was using the wrong port for /CS pin..
ram now working...
Thanks for the newer version of datasheet.. |
