Issue: This document summarizes all silicon errata issues from all revisions of silicon, previous as well as current. Only the issues indicated by the shaded column in the following tables apply to the current silicon revision. 1. Issue: AM/PM Bit If the oscillator is stopped for longer than a period of TOSF, then the OSCRUN bit (RTCWKDAY<5>) will be cleared. This may cause the AM/PM/HRTEN1 bit (RTCHOUR<5>) to toggle. This can occur in both 12-hour and 24hour modes. The oscillator can stop for any of the following reasons: • The oscillator stops in the application. • When using an external crystal, the ST bit (RTCSEC<7>) is cleared by the user. • When using an external clock source, the EXTOSC bit (CONTROL<3>) is cleared by the user. Work around If the OSCRUN bit is cleared, then the oscillator has stopped and the time and date values may no longer be valid. Therefore, before restarting the oscillator, the application should fetch and load the current time and date. Affected date codes ≤1109 ≤1352 >1352 X 2. Issue: Date Increment When operating in 12-hour mode (RTCHOUR<6> is set) if the application loads an hour value before 12:00 PM while the oscillator is running then the date and day of week may increment at 12:00 PM. When this occurs, the month and year will also increment according to the normal rollover rules. The date will increment again at 12:00 AM. Work around Disable the oscillator by ensuring both the ST and EXTOSC bits are cleared and wait for the OSCRUN bit to clear before loading the new hour value. Affected date codes ≤1109 ≤1352 >1352 X X X 4. Issue: Spurious Minute-Match Alarm Interrupts When using an alarm to match on minutes (ALMxMSK<2:0> = 001) and digital trimming is being used to slow down the time (TRIMVAL<6:0> > 0 and SIGN = 0), spurious alarm interrupts may occur at incorrect minutes. Work around When an alarm interrupt occurs, read the RTCMIN register and confirm the minute matches the desired value for the alarm. Affected date codes ≤1109 ≤1352 >1352 X X X Operating Current When operating from VCC, operating current may slowly increase and can exceed the data sheet limits. The time necessary for the current to increase and stabilize can range from a few seconds to a few minutes. Operation from VBAT is not affected. Work around The reception of an EEPROM control byte will briefly reset the VCC current to below the data sheet limits. A sequence consisting of a Start condition, EEPROM write control byte, and Stop condition can be repeated periodically to reduce current.

MCP7941X Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices: • Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet. • Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions. • There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property. • Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code. • Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.” Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
