DESCRIPTION

The DS1557 is a full-function, year-2000-compliant (Y2KC), real-time clock/calendar (RTC) with an

RTC alarm, watchdog timer, power-on reset, battery monitor, and 512k x 8 nonvolatile static RAM. User

access to all registers within the DS1557 is accomplished with a byte-wide interface as shown in Figure

1. The RTC registers contain century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, and seconds data in 24-hour

BCD format. Corrections for day of month and leap year are made automatically.

The RTC registers are double-buffered into an internal and external set. The user has direct access to the

external set. Clock/calendar updates to the external set of registers can be disabled and enabled to allow

the user to access static data. Assuming the internal oscillator is turned on, the internal set of registers is

continuously updated; this occurs regardless of external registers settings to guarantee that accurate RTC

information is always maintained.

The DS1557 has interrupt (IRQ/FT) and reset (RST) outputs which can be used to control CPU activity.

The IRQ/FT interrupt output can be used to generate an external interrupt when the RTC register values

match user programmed alarm values. The interrupt is always available while the device is powered from

the system supply and can be programmed to occur when in the battery-backed state to serve as a system

wakeup. Either the IRQ/FT or RST outputs can also be used as a CPU watchdog timer, CPU activity is

monitored and an interrupt or reset output will be activated if the correct activity is not detected within

programmed limits. The DS1557 power-on reset can be used to detect a system power down or failure

and hold the CPU in a safe reset state until normal power returns and stabilizes; the RST output is used

for this function.

The DS1557 also contains its own power-fail circuitry, which automatically deselects the device when the

VCC supply enters an out-of-tolerance condition. This feature provides a high degree of data security

during unpredictable system operation brought on by low VCC levels.

DATA READ MODE

The DS1557 is in the read mode whenever CE (chip enable) is low and WE (write enable) is high. The

device architecture allows ripple-through access to any valid address location. Valid data will be available

at the DQ pins within tAA after the last address input is stable, providing that CE and OE access times are

satisfied. If CE or OE access times are not met, valid data will be available at the latter of chip enable

access (tCEA) or at output enable access time (tOEA). The state of the data input/output pins (DQ) is

controlled by CE and OE . If the outputs are activated before tAA, the data lines are driven to an

intermediate state until tAA. If the address inputs are changed while CE and OE remain valid, output data

will remain valid for output data hold time (tOH) but will then go indeterminate until the next address

access.

DATA WRITE MODE

The DS1557 is in the write mode whenever WE and CE are in their active state. The start of a write is

referenced to the latter occurring transition of WE or CE. The addresses must be held valid throughout

the cycle. CE and WE must return inactive for a minimum of tWR prior to the initiation of a subsequent

read or write cycle. Data in must be valid tDS prior to the end of the write and remain valid for tDH

afterward. In a typical application, the OE signal will be high during a write cycle. However, OE can be

active provided that care is taken with the data bus to avoid bus contention. If OE is low prior to WE

transitioning low, the data bus can become active with read data defined by the address inputs. A low

transition on WE will then disable the outputs tWEZ after WE goes active.

DATA RETENTION MODE

The 5V device is fully accessible and data can be written and read only when VCC is greater than VPF.

However, when VCC is below the power-fail point VPF (point at which write protection occurs) the

internal clock registers and SRAM are blocked from any access. When VCC falls below the battery switch

point VSO (battery supply level), device power is switched from the VCC pin to the internal backup lithium

battery. RTC operation and SRAM data are maintained from the battery until VCC is returned to nominal

levels.

The 3.3V device is fully accessible and data can be written and read only when VCC is greater than VPF.

When VCC falls below VPF, access to the device is inhibited. If VPF is less than VSO, the device power is

switched from VCC to the internal backup lithium battery when VCC drops below VPF. If VPF is greater

than VSO, the device power is switched from VCC to the internal backup lithium battery when VCC drops

below VSO. RTC operation and SRAM data are maintained from the battery until VCC is returned to

nominal levels.

All control, data, and address signals must be powered down when VCC is powered down.

BATTERY LONGEVITY

The DS1557 has a lithium power source that is designed to provide energy for the clock activity, and

clock and RAM data retention when the VCC supply is not present. The capability of this internal power

supply is sufficient to power the DS1557 continuously for the life of the equipment in which it is

installed. For specification purposes, the life expectancy is 10 years at 25C with the internal clock

oscillator running in the absence of VCC.

INTERNAL BATTERY MONITOR

The DS1557 constantly monitors the battery voltage of the internal battery. The Battery Low Flag (BLF)

bit of the Flags Register (B4 of 7FFF0h) is not writable and should always be a 0 when read. If a 1 is ever

present, an exhausted lithium energy source is indicated and both the contents of the RTC and RAM are

questionable.

POWER-ON RESET

A temperature compensated comparator circuit monitors the level of VCC. When VCC falls to the power

fail trip point, the RST signal (open drain) is pulled low. When VCC returns to nominal levels, the RST

signal continues to be pulled low for a period of 40 ms to 200 ms. The power-on reset function is

independent of the RTC oscillator and thus is operational whether or not the oscillator is enabled.

CLOCK OSCILLATOR CONTROL

The clock oscillator may be stopped at any time. To increase the shelf life of the backup lithium battery

source, the oscillator can be turned off to minimize current drain from the battery. The OSC bit is the

MSB of the Seconds Register (B7 of 7FFF9h). Setting it to a 1 stops the oscillator, setting to a 0 starts the

oscillator. The DS1557 is shipped from Maxim with the clock oscillator turned off, OSC bit set to a 1.

READING THE CLOCK

When reading the RTC data, it is recommended to halt updates to the external set of double-buffered

RTC Registers. This puts the external registers into a static state allowing data to be read without register

values changing during the read process. Normal updates to the internal registers continue while in this

state. External updates are halted when a 1 is written into the read bit, B6 of the Control Register

(7FFF8h). As long as a 1 remains in the Control Register read bit, updating is halted. After a halt is

issued, the registers reflect the RTC count (day, date, and time) that was current at the moment the halt

command was issued. Normal updates to the external set of registers will resume within 1 second after

the read bit is set to a 0 for a minimum of 500 s. The rea d b it mus t be a zer o for a mi ni mu m o f 5 0 0 s to

ensure the external registers will be updated.

SETTING THE CLOCK

The MSB bit, B7, of the Control Register is the write bit. Setting the write bit to a 1, like the read bit,

halts updates to the DS1557 (7FFF8h-7FFFFh) registers. After setting the write bit to a 1, RTC registers

can be loaded with the desired RTC count (day, date, and time) in 24-hour BCD format. Setting the write

bit to a 0 then transfers the values written to the internal RTC registers and allows normal operation to

resume.

CLOCK ACCURACY

The DS1557 and DS9034PCX are each individually tested for accuracy. Once mounted together, the

module will typically keep time accuracy to within 1.53 minutes per month (35 ppm) at 25°C and does

not require additional calibration. For this reason, methods of field clock calibration are not available and

not necessary. The electrical environment also affects clock accuracy and caution should be taken to

place the RTC in the lowest-level EMI section of the PC board layout. For additional information, refer

to Application Note 58.

FREQUENCY TEST MODE

The DS1557 frequency test mode uses the open drain IRQ/FT output. With the oscillator running, the

IRQ/FT output will toggle at 512 Hz when the FT bit is a 1, the Alarm Flag Enable bit (AE) is a 0, and

the Watchdog Steering bit (WDS) is a 1 or the Watchdog Register is reset (Register 7FFF7h = 00h). The

IRQ/FT output and the frequency test mode can be used as a measure of the actual frequency of the

32.768kHz RTC oscillator. The IRQ/FT pin is an open-drain output that requires a pullup resistor for

proper operation. The FT bit is cleared to a 0 on power-up.

USING THE CLOCK ALARM

The alarm settings and control for the DS1557 reside within Registers 7FFF2h-7FFF5h. Register 7FFF6h

contains two alarm enable bits: Alarm Enable (AE) and Alarm in Backup Enable (ABE). The AE and

ABE bits must be set as described below for the IRQ/FT output to be activated for a matched alarm

condition.

The alarm can be programmed to activate on a specific day of the month or repeat every day, hour,

minute, or second. It can also be programmed to go off while the DS1557 is in the battery-backed state of

operation to serve as a system wakeup. Alarm mask bits AM1 to AM4 control the alarm mode. Table 3

shows the possible settings. Configurations not listed in the table default to the once per second mode to

notify the user of an incorrect alarm setting.

Table 3. Alarm Mask Bits

AM4 AM3 AM2 AM1 ALARM RATE

1 1 1 1 Once per second

1 1 1 0 When seconds match

1 1 0 0 When minutes and seconds match

1 0 0 0 When hours, minutes, and seconds match

0 0 0 0 When date, hours, minutes, and seconds match

When the RTC Register values match Alarm Register settings, the Alarm Flag bit (AF) is set to a 1. If

Alarm Flag Enable (AE) is also set to a 1, the alarm condition activates the IRQ/FT pin. The IRQ/FT

signal is cleared by a read or write to the Flags Register (Address 7FFF0h) as shown in Figure 2 and 3.

When CE is active, the IRQ/FT signal may be cleared by having the address stable for as short as 15 ns

and either OE or WE active, but is not guaranteed to be cleared unless tRC is fulfilled. The alarm flag is

also cleared by a read or write to the Flags Register but the flag will not change states until the end of the

read/write cycle and the IRQ/FT signal has been cleared.

Figure 3. Clearing IRQ Waveforms

The IRQ/FT pin can also be activated in the battery-backed mode. The IRQ/FT will go low if an alarm

occurs and both ABE and AE are set. The ABE and AE bits are cleared during the power-up transition,

however an alarm generated during power-up will set AF. Therefore, the AF bit can be read after system

power-up to determine if an alarm was generated during the power-up sequence. Figure 4 illustrates

alarm timing during the battery-backup mode and power-up states.

USING THE WATCHDOG TIMER

The watchdog timer can be used to detect an out-of-control processor. The user programs the watchdog

timer by setting the desired amount of timeout into the 8-bit Watchdog Register (Address 7FFF7h). The

five Watchdog Register bits BMB4 to BMB0 store a binary multiplier and the two lower order bits RB1

to RB0 select the resolution, where 00=1/16 second, 01=1/4 second, 10=1 second, and 11=4 seconds. The

watchdog time-out value is then determined by the multiplication of the 5-bit multiplier value with the 2-

bit resolution value. (For example: writing 00001110 in the Watchdog Register = 3 X 1 second or

3 seconds.) If the processor does not reset the timer within the specified period, the Watchdog Flag (WF)

is set and a processor interrupt is generated and stays active until either the Watchdog Flag (WF) is read

or the Watchdog Register (7FFF7h) is read or written.

The most significant bit of the Watchdog Register is the Watchdog Steering Bit (WDS). When set to a 0,

the watchdog will activate the IRQ /FT output when the watchdog times out.

When WDS is set to a 1, the watchdog will output a negative pulse on the RST output for a duration of

40 ms to 200 ms. The Watchdog Register (7FFF7h) and the FT bit will reset to a 0 at the end of a

watchdog timeout when the WDS bit is set to a 1.

The watchdog timer resets when the processor performs a read or write of the Watchdog Register. The

timeout period then starts over. Writing a value of 00h to the Watchdog Register disables the watchdog

timer. The watchdog function is automatically disabled upon power-up and the Watchdog Register is

cleared. If the watchdog function is set to output to the IRQ/FT output and the frequency test function is

activated, the watchdog function prevails and the frequency test function is denied.

POWER-ON DEFAULT STATES

Upon application of power to the device, the following register bits are set to a 0:

WDS = 0, BMB0 to BMB4 = 0, RB0 to RB1 = 0, AE = 0, ABE = 0.
