Description
The X1243 is a Real Time Clock with clock/calendar circuits
and two alarms. The dual port clock and alarm registers
allow the clock to operate, without loss of accuracy, even
during read and write operations.
The clock/calendar provides functionality that is con-trollable
and readable through a set of registers. The clock, using a
low cost 32.768kHz crystal input, accu-rately tracks the time
in seconds, minutes, hours, date, day, month and years. It
has leap year correction and automatic adjustment for
months with less than 31 days.
An alarm match of the RTC sets an interrupt ag and
activates an interrupt pin. An alternative alarm function
provides a pulsed interrupt for long time constant time-
bases.
The device offers a backup power input pin. This VBACK pin
allows the device to be backed up by a non-rechargeable
battery. The RTC is fully operational from 1.8 to 5.5 volts.
The X1243 provides a 2Kbyte EEPROM array, giving a safe,
secure memory for critical user and conguration data. This
memory is unaffected by complete failure of the main and
backup supplies.

Pin Configuration
Pin Descriptions
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock all data into and out of the
device. The input buffer on this pin is always active (not
gated).
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out
of the device. It has an open drain output and may be wire
ORed with other open drain or open collector outputs.The
input buffer is always active (not gated).
An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up resistor.
The output circuitry controls the fall time of the output signal
with the use of a slope controlled pull-down. The circuit is
designed for 400kHz 2-wire inter-face speeds.
VBACK
This input provides a backup supply voltage to the device.
VBACK supplies power to the device in the event the VCC
supply fails.
Interrupt Output—IRQ
This is an interrupt signal output. This signal noties a host
processor that alarm has occurred and requests action. It is
an open drain active LOW output.
X1, X2
The X1 and X2 pins are the input and output, respectively, of
an inverting amplier that can be con-gured for use as an on-
chip oscillator. A 32.768kHz quartz crystal is used.
Recommended crystal is a Citizen CFS-206. The crystal
supplies a timebase for a clock/ oscillator. The internal clock
can be driven by an external signal on X1, with X2 left
unconnected.
Power Control Operation
The Power control circuit accepts a VCC and a VBACK input.
The power control circuit will switch to VBACK when VCC <
VBACK – 0.2V. It will switch back to VCC when VCC exceeds
VBACK.
Real Time Clock Operation
The Real Time Clock (RTC) uses an external, 32.768kHz
quartz crystal to maintain an accurate internal repre-
sentation of the year, month, day, date, hour, minute, and
seconds. The RTC has leap-year correction and a century
byte. The clock will also correct for months hav-ing fewer
than 31 days and will have a bit that controls 24-hour or
AM/PM format. When the X1243 powers up after the loss of
both VCC and VBACK, the clock will not increment until at
least one byte is written to the clock register.
Reading the Real Time Clock
The RTC is read by initiating a Read command and
specifying the address corresponding to the register of the
Real Time Clock. The RTC Registers can then be read in a
Sequential Read Mode. Since the clock runs continuously
and a read takes a nite amount of time, there is the
possibility that the clock could change dur-ing the course of
a read operation. In this device, the time is latched by the
read command (falling edge of the clock on the ACK bit prior
to RTC data output) into a separate latch to avoid time
changes during the read operation. The clock continues to
run. Alarms occurring during a read are unaffected by the
read operation.

Writing to the Real Time Clock
The time and date may be set by writing to the RTC
registers. To avoid changing the current time by an
uncompleted write operation, the current time value is
loaded into a separate buffer at the falling edge of the clock
on the ACK bit before the RTC data input bytes, the clock
continues to run. The new serial input data replaces the
values in the buffer. This new RTC value is loaded back into
the RTC Register by a stop bit at the end of a valid write
sequence. An invalid write operation aborts the time update
procedure and the contents of the buffer are discarded. After
a valid write operation the RTC will reect the newly loaded
data beginning with the rst “one second” clock cycle after the
stop bit. The RTC continues to update the time while an RTC
register write is in progress and the RTC continues to run
during any nonvolatile write sequences. A single byte may
be written to the RTC without affect-ing the other bytes.
Clock/Control Registers (CCR)
The Control/Clock Registers are located in an area log-ically
separated from the array and are only accessible following a
slave byte of “1101111x” and reads or writes to addresses
[0000h:003Fh].
CCR Access
The contents of the CCR can be modied by performing a
byte or a page write operation directly to any address in the
CCR. Prior to writing to the CCR (except the status register),
however, the WEL and RWEL bits must be set using a two
step process (See section “Writing to the Clock/Control
Registers.”)
The CCR is divided into 5 sections.These are:
1. Alarm 0 (8 bytes)
2. Alarm 1 (8 bytes)
3. Control (2 bytes)
4. Real Time Clock (8 bytes)
5. Status (1 byte)
Sections 1) through 3) are nonvolatile and Sections 4) and 5)
are volatile. Each register is read and written through
buffers. The nonvolatile portion (or the counter portion of the
RTC) is updated only if RWEL is set and only after a valid
write operation and stop bit. A sequential read or page write
operation provides access to the contents of only one
section of the CCR per operation. Access to another section
requires a new operation. Continued reads or writes, once
reaching the end of a section, will wrap around to the start of
the section. A read or page write can begin at any address in
the CCR.
Section 5) is a volatile register. It is not necessary to set the
RWEL bit prior to writing the status register. Section 5)
supports a single byte read or write only. Continued reads or
writes from this section terminates the operation.
The state of the CCR can be read by performing a ran-dom
read at any address in the CCR at any time. This returns the
contents of that register location. Additional registers are
read by performing a sequential read. The read instruction
latches all Clock registers into a buffer, so an update of the
clock does not change the time being read. A sequential
read of the CCR will not result in the output of data from the
memory array. At the end of a read, the master supplies a
stop condition to end the operation and free the bus. After a
read of the CCR, the address remains at the previous
address +1 so the user can execute a current address read
of the CCR and continue reading the next Register.
Alarm Registers
There are two alarm registers whose contents mimic the
contents of the RTC register, but add enable bits and
exclude the 24-hour time selection bit. The enable bits
specify which registers to use in the comparison between the
Alarm and Real Time Registers. For example:
- The user can set the X1242 to alarm every Wednes-day
at 8:00AM by setting the EDWn, the EHRn and EMNn
enable bits to ‘0’ and setting the DWAn, HRAn and
MNAn Alarm registers to 8:00AM Wednesday.
- A daily alarm for 9:30PM results when the EHRn and
EMNn enable bits are set to ‘0’ and the HRAn and
MNAn registers set 9:30PM.
- Setting the EMOn bit in combination with other enable
bits and a specic alarm time, the user can establish an
alarm that triggers at the same time once a year.
When there is a match, an alarm ag is set. The occur-rence
of an alarm can be determined by polling the AL0 and AL1
bits, or by setting the AL0E and AL1E bits to ‘1’ and
monitoring the IRQ output. The AL0E and AL1E bits enable
the circuit that triggers the output IRQ pin when an alarm
occurs. Writing a ‘0’ to one of the bits disables the output
IRQ for that alarm condition, The alarm enable bits are
located in the MSB of the but the alarm condition can still be
checked by polling particular register. When all enable bits
are set to ‘0’, the alarm ag. there are no alarms.

Real Time Clock Registers
Year 2000 (Y2K)
The X1243 has a century byte that “rolls over” from 19 to 20
when the years byte changes from 99 to 00. The Y2K byte
can contain only the values of 19 or 20.
Day of the Week Register (DW)
This register provides a Day of the Week status and uses
three bits DY2 to DY0 to represent the seven days of the
week. The counter advances in the cycle 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0-1-
2-... The assignment of a numerical value to a specic day of
the week is arbitrary and may be decided by the system
software designer. The Clock Default values dene 0 =
Sunday.
Clock/Calendar Registers (YR, MO, DT, HR, MN, SC)
These registers depict BCD representations of the time. As
such, SC (Seconds) and MN (Minutes) range from 00 to 59,
HR (Hour) is 1 to 12 with an AM or PM indicator (H21 bit) or
0 to 23 (with T24 = 1), DT (Date) is 1 to 31, MO (Month) is 1
to 12, YR (year) is 0 to 99.

24-Hour Time
If the T24 bit of the HR register is 1, the RTC will use a 24-
hour format. If the T24 bit is 0, the RTC will use 12-hour
format and bit H21 will function as an AM/PM indicator with a
‘1’ representing PM. The clock defaults to Standard Time
with H21 = 0.
Leap Years
Leap years add the day February 29 and are dened as those
years that are divisible by 4.Years divisible by 100 are not
leap years, unless they are also divisible by 400. This means
that the year 2000 is a leap year, the year 2100 is not. The
X1243 does not correct for the leap year in the year 2100.
Status Register (SR)
The Status Register is located in the RTC area at address
003FH. This is a volatile register only and is used to control
the WEL and RWEL write enable latches, read an optional
Low Voltage Sense bit, and read the two alarm bits. This
register is logically sepa-rated from both the array and the
Clock/Control Regis-ters (CCR).
BAT: Battery Supply—Volatile
This bit set to “1” indicates that the device is operating from
VBACK, not VCC. It is a read only bit and is set/ reset by
hardware.
AL1, AL0: Alarm Bits (Volatile)
These bits announce if either alarm 1 or alarm 2 match the
real time clock. If there is a match, the respective bit is set to
‘1’. The falling edge of the last data bit in a SR Read
operation resets the ags.
NOTE: Only the AL bits that are set when an SR read starts will be
reset. An alarm bit that is set by an alarm occurring during an SR read
operation will remain set after the read operation is complete.
RWEL: Register Write Enable Latch (Volatile)
This bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the LOW
(disabled) state. The RWEL bit must be set to “1” prior to any
writes to the Clock/Control Registers. Writes to RWEL bit do
not cause a nonvolatile write cycle, so the device is ready for
the next operation immediately after the stop condition. A
write to the CCR requires both the RWEL and WEL bits to be
set in a specic sequence.
WEL: Write Enable Latch (Volatile)
The WEL bit controls the access to the CCR and mem-ory
array during a write operation. This bit is a volatile latch that
powers up in the LOW (disabled) state. While the WEL bit is
LOW, writes to the CCR or any array address will be ignored
(no acknowledge will be issued after the Data Byte). The
WEL bit is set by writing a “1” to the WEL bit and zeroes to
the other bits of the Sta-tus Register. Once set, WEL
remains set until either reset to 0 (by writing a “0” to the WEL
bit and zeroes to the other bits of the Status Register) or until
the part powers up again. Writes to WEL bit do not cause a
nonvolatile write cycle, so the device is ready for the next
operation immediately after the stop condition.
RTCF: Real Time Clock Fail Bit (Volatile)
This bit is set to a ‘1’ after a total power failure. This is a read
only bit that is set by hardware when the device powers up
after having lost all power to the device. The bit is set
regardless of whether VCC or VBACK is applied rst. The loss
of one or the other supplies does not result in setting the
RTCF bit. The rst valid write to the RTC (writing one byte is
sufcient) resets the RTCF bit to ‘0’.
Unused Bits
These devices do not use bits 3 or 4, but must have a zero in
these bit positions. The Data Byte output during a SR read
will contain zeros in these bit locations.
Control Registers
Block Protect Bits—BP2, BP1, BP0 (Nonvolatile)
The Block Protect Bits, BP2, BP1 and BP0, determine which
blocks of the array are write protected. A write to a protected
block of memory is ignored. The block pro-tect bits will
prevent write operations to one of eight segments of the
array. The partitions are described in Table 3.
Interrupt Control Bits (AL1E, AL0E)
There are two Interrupt Control bits, Alarm 1 Interrupt Enable
(AL1E) and Alarm 0 Interrupt Enable (AL0E) to specically
enable or disable the alarm interrupt signal output. The
interrupt output is enabled when either bit is set to ‘1’. Two
volatile bits (AL1 and AL0), associated with these alarms,
indicate if an alarm has happened. These bits are set on an
alarm condition regardless of whether the alarm interrupts are
enabled. The AL1 and AL0 bits are reset by the falling edge of
the 8th clock of a read of the register containing the bits.

6FN8249.0
April 28, 2005
In an alternative mode (called pulsed interrupt mode),
controlled by an interrupt mode (IM) bit, the alarm 0 setting
provides an output pulse on IRQ each time the alarm
matches the RTC. In this case the AL0 bit is not used. Alarm
1 works as before (i.e. the AL1 bit is set when an alarm
occurs), but it is necessary to poll the sta-tus register to
determine whether a match has occurred. This read
operation is necessary to reset the AL1 ag.
Normal Mode (IM Bit = 0)
A match of the RTC and the contents of the alarm 0 registers
automatically sets the AL0 bit. If the AL0E bit is also set, the
output IRQ signal goes active (LOW). If the AL0E bit is not
set, the AL0 bit is set, but the IRQ signal remains
unchanged.
A match of the RTC and the contents of the alarm 1 registers
automatically sets the AL1 bit. If the AL1E bit is also set, the
output IRQ signal goes active (LOW). If the AL1E bit is not
set, the AL1 bit is set, but the IRQ signal remains
unchanged.
Reading the status register, containing the AL0 and AL1 bits,
resets the bits. The bits do not reset until the falling edge of
the 8th output clock of the status register containing the
Alarm bits. When the bits reset, the output IRQ signal returns
to the inactive state.
Pulsed Interrupt Mode (IM Bit = 1)
In this mode, the alarm interrupt enable bits (AL0E and
AL1E) are not used. Alarm 1 operates as before, so a match
of the RTC and Alarm 1 sets the AL1 bit. Since the interrupt
enable bits have no function, it is neces-sary for the host
processor to poll the AL1 bit to deter-mine if an alarm has
occurred.
Alarm 0 provides an output response. In this case, when the
RTC matches the Alarm 0 registers, the output IRQ pulses
one time. This pulse can be used to control some outside
circuit or event, without the need for a local processor. The
duration of the pulse is 1024 cycles of the 32.748kHz
oscillator. All alarm 0 enable options are available, so this
becomes a very exible long term repeat trigger.
Writing To The Clock/Control Registers
Changing any of the nonvolatile bits of the clock/control
register requires the following steps:
- Write a 02H to the Status Register to set the Write
Enable Latch (WEL). This is a volatile operation, so
there is no delay after the write. (Operation pre-ceeded
by a start and ended with a stop).
- Write a 06H to the Status Register to set both the
Register Write Enable Latch (RWEL) and the WEL bit.
This is also a volatile cycle. The zeros in the data byte
are required. (Operation preceeded by a start and
ended with a stop).
- Write one to 8 bytes to the Clock/Control Registers with
the desired clock, alarm, or control data. This sequence
starts with a start bit, requires a slave byte of “11011110”
and an address within the CCR and is terminated by a
stop bit. A write to the CCR changes EEPROM values
so these initiate a nonvolatile write cycle and will take up
to 10ms to complete. Writes to undened areas have no
effect. The RWEL bit is reset by the completion of a
nonvolatile write write cycle, so the sequence must be
repeated to again initiate another change to the CCR
contents. If the sequence is not completed for any
reason (by send-ing an incorrect number of bits or
sending a start instead of a stop, for example) the
RWEL bit is not reset and the device remains in an
active mode.
- Writing all zeros to the status register resets both the
WEL and RWEL bits.
- A read operation occurring between any of the previ-ous
operations will not interrupt the register write operation.
- The RWEL and WEL bits can be reset by writing a 0 to
the Status Register.
Serial Communication
Interface Conventions
The device supports a bidirectional bus oriented proto-col.
The protocol denes any device that sends data onto the bus
as a transmitter, and the receiving device as the receiver.
The device controlling the transfer is called the master and
the device being controlled is called the slave. The master
always initiates data transfers, and provides the clock for
both transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the devices
in this family operate as slaves in all applications.

Clock and Data
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL
LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are reserved for
indicating start and stop conditions. See Figure 3.
Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the start condition, which is a
HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The
device continuously monitors the SDA and
SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to any
command until this condition has been met. See Figure 4.
Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop con-dition,
which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The stop condition is also used to place the device
into the Standby power mode after a read sequence. A stop
condition can only be issued after the transmitting device
has released the bus Refer to Figure 4.
Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfer. The transmitting device, either
master or slave, will release the bus after transmitting eight
bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the receiver will pull the
SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received the eight bits
of data. Refer to Figure 5.
The device will respond with an acknowledge after rec-
ognition of a start condition and if the correct Device Identier
and Select bits are contained in the Slave Address Byte. If a
write operation is selected, the device will respond with an
acknowledge after the receipt of each subsequent eight bit
word. The device will acknowledge all incoming data and
address bytes, except for:
- The Slave Address Byte when the Device Identier
and/or Select bits are incorrect
- All Data Bytes of a write when the WEL in the Write
Protect Register is LOW
- The 2nd Data Byte of a Register Write Operation (when
only 1 data byte is allowed)
In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of data,
release the SDA line, then monitor the line for an
acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no stop
condition is generated by the master, the device will continue
to transmit data. The device will terminate further data
transmissions if an acknowledge is not detected. The master
must then issue a stop condition to return the device to
Standby mode and place the device into a known state.
Write Operations
Byte Write
For a byte write operation (Refer to Figure 13), the device
requires the Slave Address Byte and the Word Address
Bytes. This gives the master access to any one of the words
in the array or CCR. (Note: Prior to writing to the CCR, the
master must write a 02h, then 06h to the status register in
preceding operations to enable the write operation. See
“Writing to the Clock/ Control Registers” on page 6.) Upon
receipt of each address byte, the X1243 responds with an
acknowl-edge. After receiving both address bytes the X1243
awaits the eight bits of data. After receiving the 8 data bits,
the X1243 again responds with an acknowledge. The master
then terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition.
The X1243 then begins an internal write cycle of the data to
the nonvolatile memory. Dur-ing the internal write cycle, the
device inputs are dis-abled, so the device will not respond to
any requests from the master. The SDA output is at high
impedance. See Figure 6.
A write to a protected block of memory is ignored, but will still
receive an acknowledge. At the end of the write command,
the X1243 will not initiate an internal write cycle, and will
continue to ACK commands.

X1243

April 28, 2005
Page Write
The X1243 has a page write operation. It is initiated in the
same manner as the byte write operation; but instead of
terminating the write cycle after the rst data byte is
transferred, the master can transmit up to 63 more bytes to
the memory array and up to 7 more bytes to the clock/control
registers.
(Note: Prior to writing to the CCR, the master must write a
02h, then 06h to the status register in two pre-ceding
operations to enable the write operation. See “Writing to the
Clock/Control Registers” on page 6.)
After the receipt of each byte, the X1243 responds with an
acknowledge, and the address is internally incre-mented by
one. When the counter reaches the end of the page, it “rolls
over” and goes back to the rst address on the same page.
This means that the mas-ter can write 64-bytes to a memory
array page or 8-bytes to a CCR section starting at any
location on that page. If the master begins writing at location
40 of the memory and loads 30 bytes, then the rst 23-bytes
are written to addresses 40 through 63, and the last 7-bytes
are written to columns 0 through 6. Afterwards, the address
counter would point to location 7 on the page that was just
written. If the master supplies more than the maximum bytes
in a page, then the previously loaded data is over written by
the new data, one byte at a time.
The master terminates the Data Byte loading by issu-ing a
stop condition, which causes the device to begin the
nonvolatile write cycle. As with the byte write oper-ation, all
inputs are disabled until completion of the internal write
cycle. Refer to Figure 8 for the address, acknowledge, and
data transfer sequence.
Stops and Write Modes
Stop conditions that terminate write operations must be sent
by the master after sending at least 1 full data byte and it’s
associated ACK signal. If a stop is issued in the middle of a
data byte, or before 1 full data byte + ACK is sent, then the
device will reset itself without performing the write. The
contents of the array will not be affected.
Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs during nonvolatile write cycles
can be used to take advantage of the typical 5ms write cycle
time. Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of
the master’s byte load operation, the device initiates the
internal nonvolatile write cycle. Acknowledge polling can be
initiated immediately. To do this, the master issues a start
condition followed by the Slave Address Byte for a write or
read operation. If the device is still busy with the nonvolatile
write cycle then no ACK will be returned. If the device has
com-pleted the write operation, an ACK will be returned and
the host can then proceed with the read or write opera-tion.
Refer to the ow chart in Table 9.
Read Operations
There are three basic read operations: Current Address
Read, Random Read, and Sequential Read.
Current Address Read
Internally the device contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word read incre-mented by
one. Therefore, if the last read was to address n, the next
read operation would access data from address n + 1. On
power up, the sixteen bit address is initialized to 0h. In this
way, a current address read can be initiated immediately
after the power on reset to download the contents of memory
starting at the rst location.
Upon receipt of the Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit set
to one, the device issues an acknowledge and then
transmits the eight bits of the Data Byte. The mas-ter
terminates the read operation when it does not respond with
an acknowledge during the ninth clock and then issues a
stop condition. Refer to Figure 10 for the address,
acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.

It should be noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read
operation is not a “don’t care.” To terminate a read operation,
the master must either issue a stop condi-tion during the
ninth cycle or hold SDA HIGH during the ninth clock cycle
and then issue a stop condition.
Random Read
Random read operation allows the master to access any
memory location in the array. Prior to issuing the Slave
Address Byte with the R/W bit set to one, the master must rst
perform a “dummy” write operation.
The master issues the start condition and the Slave Address
Byte, receives an acknowledge, then issues the Word
Address Bytes. After acknowledging receipts of the Word
Address Bytes, the master immediately issues another start
condition and the Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit set to
one. This is followed by an acknowledge from the device and
then by the eight bit word. The master terminates the read
operation by not responding with an acknowledge and then
issuing a stop condition. Refer to Figure 11 for the address,
acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.
In a similar operation, called “Set Current Address,” the
device sets the address if a stop is issued instead of the
second start shown in Figure 11. The X1243 then goes into
standby mode after the stop and all bus activity will be
ignored until a start is detected. This operation loads the new
address into the address counter. The next Cur-rent Address
Read operation will read from the newly loaded address.
This operation could be useful if the master knows the next
address it needs to read, but is not ready for the data.
Sequential Read
Sequential reads can be initiated as either a current address
read or random address read. The rst Data Byte is
transmitted as with the other modes; however, the master
now responds with an acknowledge, indicat-ing it requires
additional data. The device continues to output data for each
acknowledge received. The master terminates the read
operation by not responding with an acknowledge and then
issuing a stop condition.
The data output is sequential, with the data from address n
followed by the data from address n + 1. The address
counter for read operations increments through all page and
column addresses, allowing the entire memory contents to
be serially read during one operation. At the end of the
address space the counter “rolls over” to the start of the
address space and the device continues to output data for
each acknowledge received. Refer to Figure 12 for the
acknowledge and data transfer sequence.

Device Addressing
Following a start condition, the master must output a Slave
Address Byte. The rst four bits of the Slave Address Byte
specify access to the EEPROM array or to the CCR. Slave
bits ‘1010’ access the EEPROM array. Slave bits ‘1101’
access the CCR.
Bit 3 through Bit 1 of the slave byte specify the device select
bits.These are set to ‘111’.
The last bit of the Slave Address Byte denes the oper-ation
to be performed. When this R/W bit is a one, then a read
operation is selected. A zero selects a write operation. Refer
to Figure 12.
After loading the entire Slave Address Byte from the SDA
bus, the device compares the device identier and device
select bits with ‘1010111’ or ‘1101111’. Upon a correct
compare, the device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA
line.
Following the Slave Byte is a two byte word address. The
word address is either supplied by the master device or
obtained from an internal counter. On power up the internal
address counter is set to address 0h, so a current address
read of the EEPROM array starts at address 0. When
required, as part of a random read, the master device must
supply the 2 Word Address Bytes.
In a random read operation, the slave byte in the “dummy
write” portion must match the slave byte in the “read”
section. That is if the random read is from the array the slave
byte must be ‘1010111x’ in both instances. Similarly, for a
random read of the Clock/ Control Registers, the slave byte
must be ‘1101111x’ in both places.
