Hi When I found my mistake yesterday I was shocked...... My configuration was Ok Sometimes one try to look to deep into a problem!!!! I thought that my timing writing to the RTC was out and that is why I did not get any responce from the RTC So pin. Someone told me to check the voltage on Vccif!!!! And to my dissapointment found that I neglect to connect it. Lesson one: Read the data tables carefully!!!
