SUMMARY D ESCRIPTION
The M41T81 Serial Access TIMEKEEPER®
SRAM is a low power Serial RTC with a built-in
32.768kHz oscillator (external crystal controlled).
Eight bytes of the SRAM (see Table 2., page 13)
are used for the clock/calendar function and are
config ured in bi nar y c ode d d ec ima l (B CD) fo rm at.
An additional 12 bytes of SRAM provide status/
control of Alarm, Watchdog and Square Wave
functions. Addresses and da ta ar e tra nsfer r ed se -
rially via a two line, bi-directional I2C interface. The
built-in address register is incremented automati-
cally after each WRITE or READ data byte.
The M41T81 has a built-in power sense circuit
which detects power failures and automatically
switches to the battery supply when a power fa il-
ure occurs. The energy needed to sustain the
SRAM and c loc k operati ons c an be suppl ied by a
small lithium button supply when a power failure
occurs.
Functio ns availab le to the user include a non-vol-
atile, time -o f-day cl oc k/cal en dar , Al ar m inter r upt s,
Watchdog Timer and programmable Square
Wave output. The eight clock address locations
contain t he ce ntury , yea r, month, date, day, hour,
minute, second and tenths/hundredths of a sec-
ond in 24 hour BCD format. Corrections for 28, 29
(leap year - valid until year 2100), 30 a nd 31 day
months are made automatically.
The M41T81 is supplied in either an 8-pin SOIC or
an 18-pin (MY) or 28-pin (MX), 300mil SOIC pack-
age which includes an embedded 32kHz crystal.
The 18-pin and 28-pin, embedded crystal SOIC re-
quires only a user-supplied battery to provide non-
volatile operation.

OPERATION
The M41T81 c lock opera tes as a slave dev ice on
the serial bus. Access is obtained by implementing
a start con dition fo llowed by the corr ect slave ad -
dress (D0h). The 20 bytes contained in the device
can then be accessed sequentially in the following
order:
1. Tenths/Hundredths of a Second Register
2. Seconds Register
3. Minutes Register
4. Century/Hours Register
5. Day Register
6. Date Register
7. Month Register
8. Year Register
9. Control Register
10. Watchdog Register
11 - 16. Alarm Registers
17 - 19. Reserved
20. Square Wave Register
The M41T81 clock continually monitors VCC for an
out-of-tolerance condition. Should VCC fall below
VSO, the dev ice ter mi nat es an ac ce ss i n p ro gr es s
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 a an out-of-tolerance system. The de-
vice also automatically switches over to the battery
and powers down into an ultra low current mode of
operation to conserve battery life. As system pow-
er returns and VCC rise s a bov e VSO, the battery is
disconnected, and the power supply is switched to
external VCC.
For more information on Battery Storage Life refer
to Application Note AN1012.
2-Wire Bus Characteristics
The bus is intended for communication between
different ICs. It consists of two lines: a bi-direction-
al data signal (SDA) and a clock signal (SCL).
Both the SDA and 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:
Bus not busy. Both data and clock lines remain
High.
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.
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.
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 -wi de and eac h rec eiv er ac kn owl -
edges with a ninth bit.
By defin iti on a dev ice that gi ves ou t a me ss ag e i s
called “ transmitter,” the receiv ing device th at gets
the message is called “receiver.” The device that
controls the message is called “master.” The de-
vices that are controlled by the master are called
“slaves.”
Acknowledge. Each byte of eight bits is followed
by one A ckn owledge Bit. Thi s Ack nowledg e Bit i s
a low level put on the bus by the receiver whereas
the master generates an extra acknowledge relat-
ed clock pulse. A slave receiver which is ad-
dressed is obliged to 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 l ine durin g the ackn owledge clock pulse
in such a way that the SDA line is a stable Low dur-
ing the High period of the acknowledge related
clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold times must
be taken into account. A master receiver must sig-
nal an end of data to the slave transm itter 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.

READ Mode
In this mode the master reads the M41T81 slave
after setting the slave address (see Figure
11., page 10). F ollo wi ng t he W RIT E Mo de Co ntro l
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 ad-
dress are repeated followed by the READ Mode
Control Bit (R/W=1). At this point the master trans-
mitter 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
Clock. The M41T81 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
condit io n to the slave tran sm itte r .
The system-to-user transfer of clock data will be
halted whenever the address being read is a clock
address (00h to 07h). The update will resume due
to a Stop Condition or when the pointer increments
to any non-clock address (08h-13h).
Note: This is true both in READ Mode and WRITE
Mode.
An alternate READ Mode may also be implement-
ed whereby the master reads the M41T81 slave
without fir st writing to the (vol atile) address po int-
er. The first address that is read is the last one
stored in t he pointer (see F igure 12., page 10).

WRITE Mode
In this mode the master transmitter transmits to
the M41T81 slave receiver. Bus protocol is shown
in Figure 13., page 11. Following the START con-
dition and slave address, a logic '0' (R/W=0) is
placed on the bus and i ndica tes to the a ddres sed
device that word addres s “An” will fol low 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 interna l add ress poi nter is inc remen ted to
the next address location on the reception of an
acknowledge clock. The M41T81 slave receiver
will send an acknowledge clock to the master
transmitter after it has rece ived the s lave ad dress
see Figure 10., page 9 and again after it has re-
ceived the word address and each data byte.
Data Retention Mode
With valid VCC applied, the M41T81 can be ac-
cessed as des c ribed ab ov e wi th READ or WRIT E
Cycles. Should the supply voltage decay, the pow-
er input will be switched from the VCC pin to the
battery when V CC falls bel ow the B attery Ba ck-u p
Switchover Voltage (VSO). At this time the clock
registers will be maintained by the attached bat-
tery supp ly. On power -up, when VCC returns to a
nominal value, write protection continues for trec.

culations, please see Application Note AN1012.

CLOCK OPERATION
The 20-byte Register Map (see Table 2., page 13)
is used to both set th e clock a nd to rea d the date
and time from the clock, in a binary coded decimal
format. Tenth s/Hundr edths of S econds, S econd s,
Minutes, and Hours are contained within the first
four registers.
Note: The Tenths/Hund redth s of Seco nds cannot
be written t o any value other than “00.
Bits D6 and D7 of Clock Register 03h (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 (de-
pending upon its initial state). If CEB is set to a '0,'
CB will not toggle . Bits D0 throug h D2 of Registe r
04h contain the Day (day of week). Registers 05h,
06h, and 07h contain the Date (day of month),
Month and Years. The ninth clock register is the
Control Register (this is described in the Clock
Calibration section). Bit D7 of Register 01h con-
tains the STOP Bit (ST). Setting this bit to a '1' will
cause the oscillator to stop. If the device is expect-
ed to spend a significant amount of time on the
shelf, the oscillator may be stopped to reduce cur-
rent drain. When reset to a '0' the oscillator restarts
within one seco nd.
The eight Clock Registers may be read one byte at
a time, or in a sequential block. Provision has been
made to assure that a clock update does not occur
while any of the eight clock addresses are being
read. If a clock address is being read, an update of
the clock r eg ister s will b e hal ted . T h is wi ll pr ev ent
a transition of data during the READ.
Power-down Time -Stamp
When a power fai lu re oc cu rs, th e HT Bit wi ll auto -
matically be set to a '1.' This will prevent the clock
from updating the TIMEKEEPER® registers, and
will allow the user to read the exact time of the
power-down event. Resetting the HT Bit to a '0' will
allow the clock to update the TIMEKEEPER regis-
ters with the current time. For more information,
see Applic ation Note AN1572.
TIMEKEEPER® Registers
The M41T81 offers 20 internal registers which
contain Clock, Alarm, Watchdog, Flag, Square
Wave and Control data. These registers are mem-
ory locations which contain external (user accessi-
ble) and internal copies of the data (usually
referred to as BiPORT TIMEKE EPER cells ). The
external copies are independent of internal func-
tions e xcept that the y are updated pe riodically by
the simultaneous transfer of the incremented inter-
nal copy. The internal divider (or clock) chain will
be reset upon the completion of a WRITE to any
clock address.
The system-to-user transfer of clock data will be
halted whenever the address being read is a clock
address (00h to 07h). The update w ill resume ei-
ther due to a Stop Condition or when the pointer
increments to any non-clock address (08h-13h).
TIMEKEEPER and Alarm Registers store data in
BCD. Con trol, Watchdo g and Squar e Wave Reg -
isters store data in Binary Format.

Calibrating the Clock
The M41T81 is driven by a quartz controlled oscil-
lator with a nominal frequency of 32,768Hz. The
devices are tested not exceed –25 to +45 ppm
(parts per million) oscillator frequency error at
25oC, which equates to about +1.9 to –1.1 minutes
per month (see Figure 14., page 15). When the
Calibratio n circuit is properly employed, acc uracy
improves to better than ±2 ppm at 25°C.
The oscillation rate of crystals changes with tem-
perature. The M41T81 design employs periodic
counter correction. The calibration circuit adds o r
subtracts counts from the oscillator divider circuit
at the divide by 256 stage, as shown in Figure
15., page 15. The number of times pulses which
are blanked (subtracted, negative calibration) or
split (added, positive calibration) depends upon
the value loaded into the five Calibration Bits found
in the Control Register. Adding counts speeds the
clock up, subtracting counts slows the clock down.
The Calibration Bits occupy the five lower order
bits (D4-D0) in the Control Register 08h. These
bits ca n be set to represent a ny value betw een 0
and 31 in bina ry for m. Bit D5 is a Si gn B it; '1' in di -
cates positive calibration, '0' indicates negative
calibration. Calibration occurs within a 64 minute
cycle. Th e firs t 62 min ute s in the cycle m ay, onc e
per minut e, have one second e ither shorten ed by
128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a bi-
nary '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 oscilla tor cycles, that is
+4.068 or –2.034 ppm of adjustment per calibra-
tion step in the calibration register (see Figure
15., page 15). Assuming that the oscillator is run-
ning at exactly 32,768Hz, each of the 31 incre-
ments in the Calibration byte would represent
+10.7 or –5.35 seconds per month which corre-
sponds to a total range of +5.5 or –2.75 minutes
per month.
Two methods are available for ascertaining how
much calibration a given M41T81 may require.
The first involves setting the clock, letting it run for
a month and comparing it to a known accurate ref-
erence and recording deviation over a fixed period
of time. Calibration values, including the number of
seconds lost or gained in a given period, can be
found in Application Note AN934, “TIMEKEEP-
ER® CALIBRATION.” This allows the designer to
give the en d user the abili ty to calibrat e the clock
as the environment requires, even if the final prod-
uct is packaged in a non-user serviceable enclo-
sure. The designer could provide a simple utility
that accesses the Calibration byte.
The second approach is better suited to a manu-
facturing environment, and involves the use of the
IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW pin. The pin will toggle at
512Hz, when the Stop Bit (ST, D7 of 01h) is '0,' the
Frequency Test Bit (FT, D6 of 08h) is '1,' the Alarm
Flag Enable Bit (AFE, D7 of 0Ah) is '0,' and the
Square Wave Enable Bit (SQWE, D6 of 0Ah) is '0'
and the Watchdog Register (09h = 0) is reset.
Any deviation from 512Hz indicates the degree
and direction of oscillator frequency shift at the test
temperature. For example, a reading of
512.010124Hz would indicate a +20 ppm oscillator
frequency error, requiring a –10 (XX001010) to be
loaded into the Calibration Byte for correction.
Note that setting or changi ng the Cali bration Byte
does not affect the Frequency Test output fre-
quency.
The IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW pin is an open drain output
which requ ires a pull - up res is tor to V CC for pr ope r
operation. A 500-10k resistor is recommended in
order to control the rise time. The FT Bit is cleared
on power-down.

Setting Alarm Clock Registers
Address loc ati on s 0A h- 0E h contai n the al ar m set -
tings. The alarm can be configured to go off at a
prescribed time on a specific month, date, hour,
minute, or second or repeat every year, month,
day, hour, minute, or second. It can also be pro-
grammed to go off while the M41T81 is in the bat-
tery back- up mo de to s erve as a sy stem wak e-up
call.
Bits RPT5-RPT1 put the alarm in the repeat mode
of operation. Table 3., page 17 shows the possible
configurations. Codes not listed in the table default
to the once per second mode to quickly alert the
user of an incorrect alarm setting.
When the clock information matches the alarm
clock s ett ing s based on the m atc h cr iter ia de fin ed
by RPT5-RPT1, the AF (Alarm Flag) is set. If AFE
(Al arm Fla g Enab le) is also set (and S QWE is ' 0.') ,
the alarm condition activates the IRQ/FT/OUT/
SQW pin.
Note: If the address pointer is allowed to incre-
ment to the Fl ag Register add ress, an alarm con-
dition will not cause the Interrupt/Flag to occur until
the address pointer is moved to a different ad-
dress. It should also be noted that if the last ad-
dress writ ten is th e “Alarm Seco nds,” the addres s
pointer will increment to the Flag address, causing
this situation to occur.
The IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW output is cleared by a
READ to the Flags Register as shown in Figure
16. A subsequent READ of the Flags Register is
necessa ry to s ee th at the valu e of the Ala rm Fl ag
has been reset to '0.'
The IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW pin can also be activated
in the battery back-up mode. The IRQ/FT/OUT/
SQW wil l go low if an al ar m o ccur s and both AB E
(Alarm in Battery Back-up Mode Enable) and AFE
are set. Figure 17 illustrates the back-up mode
alarm timing.

Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer can be used to detect an out-
of-control microprocessor. The user programs the
watchdog timer by setting the desired amount of
time-out into the Watchdog Register, address 09h.
Bits BMB4-BMB0 store a binary multiplier and the
two lower order bits RB1-RB0 select the resolu-
tion, where 00 = 1/16 second, 01 = 1/4 second,
10 = 1 second, and 11 = 4 seconds. The amount
of time-out is then determined to be the multiplica-
tion of the fiv e-bit multipl ier value with the r esolu-
tion. (For example: writing 00001110 in the
Watchdog Register = 3*1, or 3 seconds). If the
processor does not reset the timer within the spec-
ified period, the M41T81 sets the WDF (Watchdog
Flag) and generates a watchdog interrupt.
The watchdog timer can be reset by having the mi-
croprocessor perform a WRITE of the Watchdog
Register . The time- out per io d then sta rt s over.
Should the watchdog timer time-out, a value of
00h needs to be writ ten to the Wa tchdo g Regi ste r
in order to clear the IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW pin. This
will also disable the watchdog function until it is
again programmed correctly. A READ of the Flags
Register will reset the Watchdog Flag (Bit D7;
Register 0Fh).
The watchdog function is automatically disabled
upon power-up and the Watchdog Register is
cleared. If the watchdog function is set, the fre-
quency test function is activated, and the SQWE
Bit is '0,' the watchdog function prevails and the
frequency test function is denied.

Square Wave Output
The M41T81 offers the user a programmable
square wave function which is output on the SQW
pin. RS3-RS0 bits located in 13h establish the
square wave output frequency. These frequencies
are listed in Table 4. Once the selection of the
SQW frequency has been completed, the IRQ/FT/
OUT/SQW pin can be turned on and off under soft-
ware control with the Square Wave Enable Bit
(SQWE) located in Register 0Ah.

Century Bit
Bits D7 and D6 of Cloc k Register 03h co ntain the
CENTURY ENABLE Bit (CEB) and the CENTURY
Bit (CB). Setting CEB to a '1' will cause CB to tog-
gle, either from a '0' to '1' or from '1' to '0' at the turn
of the century (de pending upon its initi al state). If
CEB is set to a '0,' CB will not toggle.
Output Driver Pin
When the FT Bit, AFE Bit, SQWE Bit, and Watch-
dog Register are not set, the IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW
pin becomes an output driver that reflects the con-
tents of D7 of the Control Register. In other words,
when D7 (OUT B it) an d D6 ( F T Bi t) of add ress lo -
cation 08h are a '0,' then the IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW
pin will be driven low.
Note: The IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW pin is an open drain
which requires an external pull-up resistor.
Preferred Initial Power-on Default
Upon initial application of power to the device, the
following register bits are set to a '0' state: Watch-
dog Register; AFE; ABE; SQWE; and FT. The fol-
lowing bits are set to a '1' state: ST; OUT; and HT
(see Table 5., page 19).
