Description
The M41T00 is a low power serial real time clock
with a built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator (external
crystal controlled). Eight bytes of the RAM are
used for the clock/calendar function and are
configured in binary coded decimal (BCD) format.
Addresses and data are transferred serially via a
two-line bidirectional bus. The built-in address
register is incremented automatically after each
WRITE or READ data byte.
The M41T00 clock has a built-in power sense
circuit which detects power failures and
automatically switches to the battery supply
during power failures. The energy needed to
sustain the RAM and clock operations can be
supplied from a small lithium coin cell.
Typical data retention time is in excess of 5 years
with a 50 mA/h 3 V lithium cell (see Section 2.10:
Data retention mode for AC/DC characteristics).
The M41T00 is supplied in 8-lead plastic small
outline package.

M41T00 Device operation

2 Device operation
The M41T00 clock operates as a slave device on the serial bus. Access is obtained by
implementing a start condition followed by the correct slave address (D0h). The 8 bytes
contained in the device can then be accessed sequentially in the following order:
1st byte: seconds register
2nd byte: minutes register
3rd byte: century/hours register
4th byte: day register
5th byte: date register
6th byte: month register
7th byte: years register
8th byte: control register
The M41T00 clock continually monitors VCC for an out of tolerance condition. Should VCC
fall below VSO, the device terminates an access in progress and resets the device address
counter. Inputs to the device will not be recognized at this time to prevent erroneous data
from being written to the device from an out of tolerance system. When VCC falls below VSO,
the device automatically switches over to the battery and powers down into an ultra low
current mode of operation to conserve battery life. Upon power-up, the device switches from
battery to VCC at VSO and recognizes inputs.
2.1 Wire bus characteristics
This bus is intended for communication between different ICs. It consists of two lines: one
bi-directional for data signals (SDA) and one for clock signals (SCL). Both the SDA and the
SCL lines must be connected to a positive supply voltage via a pull-up resistor.
The following protocol has been defined:
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
During data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is High.
Changes in the data line while the clock line is High will be interpreted as control
signals.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined:
2.2 Bus not busy
Both data and clock lines remain high.
2.3 Start data transfer
A change in the state of the data line, from high to low, while the clock is high, defines the
START condition.
Device operation M41T00
8/25
2.4 Stop data transfer
A change in the state of the data line, from low to high, while the clock is high, defines the
STOP condition.
2.5 Data valid
The state of the data line represents valid data when after a start condition, the data line is
stable for the duration of the high period of the clock signal. The data on the line may be
changed during the low period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a start condition and terminated with a stop condition.
The number of data bytes transferred between the start and stop conditions is not limited.
The information is transmitted byte-wide and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth bit.
By definition, a device that gives out a message is called “transmitter”, the receiving device
that gets the message is called “receiver”. The device that controls the message is called
“master”. The devices that are controlled by the master are called “slaves”.
2.6 Acknowledge
Each byte of eight bits is followed by one acknowledge bit. This acknowledge bit is a low
level put on the bus by the receiver, whereas the master generates an extra acknowledge
related clock pulse.
A slave receiver which is addressed is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte. Also, a master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock
pulse in such a way that the SDA line is a stable low during the high period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold times must be taken into
account. A master receiver must signal an end-of-data to the slave transmitter by not
generating an acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this
case, the transmitter must leave the data line high to enable the master to generate the
STOP condition.

2.7 Characteristics
2.8 READ mode
In this mode, the master reads the M41T00 slave after setting the slave address (see
Figure 7). Following the WRITE mode control bit (R/W = 0) and the acknowledge bit, the
word address An is written to the on-chip address pointer. Next the START condition and
slave address are repeated, followed by the READ mode control bit (R/W = 1). At this point,
the master transmitter becomes the master receiver. The data byte which was addressed
will be transmitted and the master receiver will send an acknowledge bit to the slave
transmitter. The address pointer is only incremented on reception of an acknowledge bit.
The M41T00 slave transmitter will now place the data byte at address An+1 on the bus. The
master receiver reads and acknowledges the new byte and the address pointer is
incremented to An+2.
This cycle of reading consecutive addresses will continue until the master receiver sends a
STOP condition to the slave transmitter.
An alternate READ mode may also be implemented, whereby the master reads the M41T00
slave without first writing to the (volatile) address pointer. The first address that is read is the
last one stored in the pointer.

2.9 WRITE mode
In this mode the master transmitter transmits to the M41T00 slave receiver. Bus protocol is
shown in Figure 10. Following the START condition and slave address, a logic '0' (R/W = 0)
is placed on the bus and indicates to the addressed device that word address An will follow
and is to be written to the on-chip address pointer. The data word to be written to the
memory is strobed in next and the internal address pointer is incremented to the next
memory location within the RAM on the reception of an acknowledge clock. The M41T00
slave receiver will send an acknowledge clock to the master transmitter after it has received
the slave address and again after it has received the word address and each data byte (see
Figure 7).
Figure 10. WRITE mode sequences
2.10 Data retention mode
With valid VCC applied, the M41T00 can be accessed as described above with READ or
WRITE cycles. Should the supply voltage decay, the M41T00 will automatically deselect,
WRITE protecting itself when VCC falls (see Figure 11).

3 M41T00 clock operation
The eight byte clock register (see Ta b l e 5 ) is used to both set the clock and to read the date
and time from the clock, in a binary coded decimal format. Seconds, minutes, and hours are
contained within the first three registers. Bits D6 and D7 of clock register 2 (century/hours
register) contain the century enable bit (CEB) and the century bit (CB). Setting CEB to a '1'
will cause CB to toggle, either from '0' to '1' or from '1' to '0' at the turn of the century
(depending upon its initial state). If CEB is set to a '0', CB will not toggle. Bits D0 through D2
of register 3 contain the day (day of week). Registers 4, 5 and 6 contain the date (day of
month), month and years. The final register is the control register (this is described in the
clock calibration section). Bit D7 of register 0 contains the STOP bit (ST). Setting this bit to a
'1' will cause the oscillator to stop. If the device is expected to spend a significant amount of
time on the shelf, the oscillator may be stopped to reduce current drain. When reset to a '0'
the oscillator restarts within one second.
Note: In order to guarantee oscillator start-up after the initial power-up, set the ST bit to a '1,' then
reset this bit to a '0.' This sequence enables a “kick start” circuit which aids the oscillator
start-up during worst case conditions of voltage and temperature.
The seven clock registers may be read one byte at a time, or in a sequential block. The
control register (address location 7) may be accessed independently. Provision has been
made to ensure that a clock update does not occur while any of the seven clock addresses
are being read. If a clock address is being read, an update of the clock registers will be
delayed by 250 ms to allow the read to be completed before the update occurs. This will
prevent a transition of data during the read.
Note: Note: This 250 ms delay affects only the clock register update and does not alter the actual
clock time.

3.1 Clock calibration
The M41T00 is driven by a quartz controlled oscillator with a nominal frequency of
32768 Hz. The devices are tested not to exceed 35 ppm (parts per million) oscillator
frequency error at 25°C, which equates to about ±1.53 minutes per month. With the
calibration bits properly set, the accuracy of each M41T00 improves to better than ±2 ppm
at 25 °C.
The oscillation rate of any crystal changes with temperature (see Figure 12). Most clock
chips compensate for crystal frequency and temperature shift error with cumbersome trim
capacitors. The M41T00 design, however, employs periodic counter correction. The
calibration circuit adds or subtracts counts from the oscillator divider circuit at the divide by
256 stage, as shown in Figure 13. The number of times pulses are blanked (subtracted,
negative calibration) or split (added, positive calibration) depends upon the value loaded into
the five-bit calibration byte found in the control register. Adding counts speeds the clock up,
subtracting counts slows the clock down.
The calibration byte occupies the five lower order bits (D4-D0) in the control register (addr
7). This byte can be set to represent any value between 0 and 31 in binary form. Bit D5 is a
sign bit; '1' indicates positive calibration, '0' indicates negative calibration. Calibration occurs
within a 64minute cycle. The first 62 minutes in the cycle may, once per minute, have one
second either shortened by 128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a binary '1' is
loaded into the register, only the first 2 minutes in the 64 minute cycle will be modified; if a
binary 6 is loaded, the first 12 will be affected, and so on.

Therefore, each calibration step has the effect of adding 512 or subtracting 256 oscillator
cycles for every 125,829,120 actual oscillator cycles, that is +4.068 or –2.034 ppm of
adjustment per calibration step in the calibration register. Assuming that the oscillator is in
fact running at exactly 32768 Hz, each of the 31 increments in the calibration byte would
represent +10.7 or –5.35 seconds per month which corresponds to a total range of +5.5 or
–2.75 minutes per month.
Two methods are available for ascertaining how much calibration a given M41T00 may
require. The first involves simply setting the clock, letting it run for a month and comparing it
to a known accurate reference (like WWV broadcasts). While that may seem crude, it allows
the designer to give the end user the ability to calibrate his clock as his environment may
require, even after the final product is packaged in a non-user serviceable enclosure. All the
designer has to do is provide a simple utility that accessed the calibration byte.
The second approach is better suited to a manufacturing environment, and involves the use
of some test equipment. When the frequency test (FT) bit, the seventh-most significant bit in
the control register, is set to a '1', and the oscillator is running at 32768 Hz, the FT/OUT pin
of the device will toggle at 512 Hz. Any deviation from 512 Hz indicates the degree and
direction of oscillator frequency shift at the test temperature.
For example, a reading of 512.01024 Hz would indicate a +20 ppm oscillator frequency
error, requiring a –10(XX00 1010b) to be loaded into the calibration byte for correction. Note
that setting or changing the calibration byte does not affect the frequency test output
frequency.

3.2 Output driver pin
When the FT bit is not set, the FT/OUT pin becomes an output driver that reflects the
contents of D7 of the control register. In other words, when D6 of address 7 is a zero and D7
of address 7 is a zero and then the FT/OUT pin will be driven low.
Note: The FT/OUT pin is open drain which requires an external pull-up resistor.
3.3 Initial power-on defaults
Upon initial application of power to the device, the FT bit will be set to a '0' and the OUT bit
will be set to a '1'. All other register bits will initially power on in a random state.
