I would appreciate a bit of help with the following: I am trying to use a Phillips PCF 8593 which is a clock calendar circuit with i2c-interface. I can write and read registers in the circuit, this works and is confirmed by writes and read backs to check. The oscillator seems to work as the 1 Hz test signal output is working. The control/status register is loaded with 00. Re-set has been tried before or after writing the control/status register and both too. I cannot find any time readings - all shows 00 - does anybody know if the circuit has to be activated in some way?
