S UM MARY DESCR IPTION

The M41T81S 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 12)

are used for the clock/calendar function and are

configured in bina ry cod ed dec imal (BCD) form at.

An additional 12 bytes of SRAM provide status/

control of Alarm, Watchdog and Square Wave

functions. Addresse s and data are transferred se-

rially via a two line, bi-directional I2C i nte rf ace. The

built-in address register is incremented automati-

cally after each WRITE or READ data byte.

The M41T81S has a built-in power sense circuit

which detects power failures and automatically

switches to the battery supply when a power fail-

ure occurs. The energy needed to sustain the

clock operations can be supplied by a small lithium

button supply when a power failure occurs. Func-

tions available to the user include a non-volatile,

time-of-day clock/calendar, Alarm interrupts,

Watchdog Timer and programmable Square

Wave output. The eight clock address locations

contain the century, year, month, date, day, hou r,

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 and 31 day

months are made automat ically.

The M 41T8 1S is supplied in either an 8-pin SOIC

or an 18-pin (MY), 300mil SOIC package whi ch in-

cludes an embedded 32k Hz crysta l.

The 18-pin, embed ded cryst al SOIC requires only

a user-supplied battery to provide non -volatile op-

eration.

OPERATION

The M41T81S clock operates as a slave device on

the serial bus . Access is obtained by implementing

a start condition f ollowed by the correc t slave ad-

dress (D0h). The 20 bytes contained in the device

can then be accessed sequentially in t he foll owing

order:

1. Tenths/ Hundredths of a Second Register

2. Seconds Register

3. Min utes Register

4. Century/Hours Register

6. D ate Register

9. C alibration Register

10. W atchd og Register

11 - 15. Alarm Registers

16. Flags Register

17 - 19. Reserved

20. Square Wave Regi st er

The M41T81S clock continually monitors VCC for

an out-of-toleranc e condition. S hould VCC f all be-

low VPFD, 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 prev ent erroneous data fr om bei ng wri tten

to the device from a an out-of-tolerance system.

Once VCC falls below the switchover voltage

(VSO), the device automatically switches over to

the battery and powers down i nto an ultra-low cur-

rent mode of operation to preserve battery life. If

VBAT is less than VPFD, the device power is

switched from VCC to V BAT when V CC drops bel ow

VBAT. If VBAT is greater than VPFD, the device

power is switched from VCC to VBAT when VCC

drops below VPFD. Upon power-up, the device

switches from battery to VCC at VSO. When VCC

rises a bov e VPFD, it will recogniz e th e i n puts.

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 mus t be connected to

a positive supply voltage via a pull-up resist or.

The following protocol has been defined:

– Data transfer may be initiated only when the

bus is not bus y.

– During data transfer, the dat a line must remain

stable whenever the clock line is High.

– Changes in the data line, while the clock line is

H igh, 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 condi tion.

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 Va lid. T he state of the data line rep re se nts

valid data when after a start condition, the dat a 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 condi tion

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 rec eiver ack nowl-

edges with a nin th bit.

By definition a dev ice t hat gives o ut a m essag e is

called “transmitter,” the receiving dev ice that gets

the messa ge is called “receiver.” The device that

controls the message is called “master.” The de-

vices that are controlled by the ma ster are called

“slaves.”

Acknowledge. E ac h byte of eight bits is f oll owed

by one Acknowledge B it. This Acknowled ge Bit is

a low level put on t he bus by the receiver whereas

the master generates an extra acknowled ge 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 line during the acknowledge 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 mus t

be taken int o account. A master recei ver must sig-

nal 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 l eave the data l ine High to enable

the mast er to generate the S TOP condition.

READ Mode

In this mode the master reads t he M41T81S sl ave

after setting the slave address (see Figure

9., page 9). 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 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 M41T81S 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 ad dress pointer is incremented

to “An+2.”

This cycle of reading consecutive addresses will

continue until the master receiver se nds a STOP

condition to the slave transmitter.

The system-to-user transfer of clock data will be

halted whenever the address bei ng read is a clock

address (00h to 07h). The update will resu me due

to a Stop Condition or when the pointer increments

to any non-clock address (08h-13h).

Note: This is true bot h in READ Mode and WRITE

Mode.

An alternate READ Mode may also be implement -

ed whereby the m as ter reads the M 41T8 1S s lave

without first w riting to t he (volatile) a ddress point-

er. The first address that is read is the last one

stored in the pointer (see Figure 10., page 9).

WRITE Mod e

In this mode the master transmitter transmits to

the M41T81S slave receiver. Bus protocol is

shown in Figure 11., page 10. Following the

START condition and slave address, a logic '0' (R/

W=0) is placed on the bus and indi cates to the ad-

dressed device that word address “An” will follow

and is to be written to t he on-chip address pointer.

The data word to be written to the memory is

strobed in next and t he internal addres s pointer is

incremented to the next address location on the

reception of an acknowledge cl ock. T he M 41T81S

slave receiver will send an acknowledge clock to

the master transmitter after it has received the

slave address see F igure 8., page 8 and again af-

ter it has received the word address and each data

byte.

Data Reten tion Mode

With valid VCC applied, the M41T81S can be ac-

cessed as des cribed ab ov e with REA D or WRI TE

Cycles. Should the supply voltage decay, the pow-

er input will be switched from the VCC pin to the

battery when V CC falls below the Battery Back-up

Switchover Voltage (VSO). At this time the clock

registers will be maintained by the attached bat-

tery supply. On power-up , when VCC returns to a

nominal val ue, write protection conti nues for tREC.

culations, please see Appl ication Not e AN1012.

Minutes, and Hours are contained within the first

four registers.

Note: Tenths/Hundredths of Seconds cannot be

written to 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 fr om '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. B its D0 through D2 of Register

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

Calibration Register (this is described in the Clock

Calibration section). Bit D7 of Register 01h con-

ta ins the STOP Bit (ST). Settin g th is bit to a ' 1 ' wil l

cause the oscillator to stop. If the device i s expect -

ed to spend a significant amount of time on the

shelf, the oscillator may be stopped to reduce cur-

rent drain. When reset t o a '0' the oscillator restarts

within one second.

The eight Clock Registers may be read one byte at

a time, or in a sequent ial 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 registers will be halted. T his will prevent

a transition of data duri ng the RE AD.

Power-dow n Tim estamp

When a power failure occurs, the HALT (HT) Bit

will automatical ly be set to a '1.' This will prevent

the clock from updating the TIMEKEEPER® regis-

ters, and will allow the user to read the exac t time

of the power-down event. Resetting the HT Bit to

a '0' will allow the clock to update the TIMEKEEP-

ER registers with the current time.

TIMEKEEPER® Registers

The M41T81S offers 20 internal registers which

contain Clock, Alarm, Watchdog, Flags, Square

Wave and Calibration data. These registers are

memory locations which cont ain external (user ac-

cessible) and internal copies of the data (usually

referred to as BiPORT™ TI MEKEEPER cells) . Th e

external copies are independent of internal func-

tions except that they are updated p eriodically by

the simultaneous transf er of the incremented int er-

nal copy. The internal divider (or clock) chain will

be reset upon the completion of a WRITE to any

clock addr ess.

The system-to-user transfer of clock data will be

halted whenever the address bei ng read is a clock

address (00h to 07h). The update will 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. Calibration, Watchdog and Square Wave

Registers store data in Binary Format.

M41T81S

Ca libr a ting t h e C lock

The M4 1T81S is driven by a qu artz controlled os-

cillator with a nominal frequency of 32,768Hz. The

devices are t ested not exceed ±35 ppm (parts per

million) oscillator frequency error at 25oC, which

equates t o about + 1.9 to –1.1 m inutes per month

(see Figure 12., page 14). When the Calibration

circuit i s properly employed, accuracy improves to

better than ±2 ppm at 25°C.

The oscillation rate of crystals changes with tem-

perature. The M41T81S design employs periodic

counter correction. The calibration circuit adds or

subtracts counts from the o scillator divider circuit

at the divide by 256 stage, as shown in Figure

13., page 14. 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 B its found

in the Calibration Re giste r. Adding c ounts speeds

the clock up, subtracting counts slows the clock

down.

The Calibration Bits occupy the five lower order

bits (D4-D0) in the Calibration Register 08h. These

bits can be set to represent any value between 0

and 31 in binary form. Bit D5 is a Sign Bit; '1' indi-

cates positive calibration, '0' indicates negative

calibration. Calibration occurs within a 64 minute

cycle. The first 62 minutes i n t he cycle may , onc e

per minute, h ave one second either shortened by

128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a bi-

nary '1' is loaded into the register, only the first 2

minute s 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 osc illator cycles for

every 125,829,120 actual oscillator cycles, that is

+4.068 or –2.034 ppm of adjustment per calibra-

tion step in the calibration register (see Figure

13., page 14). Assuming t hat 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 cal ibration a giv en M41T81S may require.

The first involves setting the clock, lett i ng it run for

a month and comparing it to a known accurate r ef-

erence and r ecordi ng dev iation over a fi xed 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 end user the ability to calibrate the clock

as the environment r equi res, even i f 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 changing the Calibration Byte

does not affect the Frequency Test output fre-

quency.

The IRQ/FT/OUT/ SQW pin is an open drain output

which requires a pull-up resistor to VCC for proper

operation. A 500-10k resistor is recommended in

order to c ontrol the rise time. The FT Bit i s cleared

on power-down.

M41T81S

Setting Alarm Clock Registers

Address locations 0Ah-0E h cont ain the alarm se t-

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 M41T81S is in the

battery back-up mode to serve as a system wake-

up call.

Bits RPT5-RPT1 put the alarm in the repeat mode

of operation. Table 3., page 16 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 al arm setting.

When the clock information matches the alarm

clock settings based on the match criteria defined

by RPT5-RPT1, the AF (Alarm Flag) is set . If AFE

(Alarm Flag Enable) is also set (and SQWE is '0.'),

the alarm condition activates the IRQ/FT/OUT/

SQW pin.

Note: If the address pointer is allowed to incre-

ment to t he F l ags Register address, an al arm 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 written is the “Alarm Seconds,” the address

pointer will increment to t he F lag address, c ausing

this situation to occur.

The IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW output is cleared by a

READ to the Flags Register as shown in Figure

14. A subsequent READ of the Flags Register is

necessary to see that the value of the Alarm Flag

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 will go low if an alarm occ urs and both A BE

(Alarm in Battery Back-up Mode Enable) and AF E

are set. Figure 15 illustrates the back-up mode

alarm timing.

Table 3. Alarm Repeat Modes

Watchdog Timer

The watchdog timer can be used to detect an out-

of-control microprocessor. The us er program s the

watchdog timer by setting the desired amount of

time-out into the Watchdog Register, address 09h.

Bits BMB4-BMB0 store a binary mul tiplier 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 five-b it multiplier value with the resolu-

tion. (For example: writing 00001110 in the

Watchdog Register = 3*1, or 3 seconds). If the

processor does not reset t he timer within the spec-

ified period, the M41T81S sets the WDF (Watch-

dog Flag) and generates a watchdog interrupt.

The watc hdog timer can be reset by having the mi-

croprocessor perform a WRITE of the Watchdog

Should the watchdog timer time-out, a value of

00h needs to be written to the Watchdog Regi ster

in order to clear the IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW pin. This

will also disable the watchdog function until it is

again programm ed corr ectly. A RE AD of the Fl ags

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 M41T81S 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 f requency. These frequencies

are listed in Table 4. Once the selection of the

SQW f requency has been completed, the IRQ/FT/

OUT/SQW pin can be turned on and of f under soft-

ware control with the Square Wave Enable Bit

(SQWE) located in Register 0Ah.

Century Bit

Bits D7 and D6 of Clock Register 03h contain the

CENTURY ENABLE Bi t (CEB) and the CENTURY

Bit ( CB). Setting CEB to a '1' will cause CB to tog-

gle, either from a '0' to '1' or fr om '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.

Batt ery Lo w W arn in g

The M41T81S automatically performs battery volt-

age monit oring upon power-up and at fact ory-pro-

grammed time intervals of approximately 24

hours. The Battery Low (BL) Bit, Bit D4 of Flags

is found to be less than approximately 2.5V. The

BL Bit will r emain asserted unt i l completion of bat-

tery replacement and subsequent battery low

monitoring tests, either during the next power-up

sequence or the next scheduled 24-hour interval.

If a battery low is generated during a power-up se-

quence, this indicates that the battery i s below ap-

proximately 2.5 volts and may not be able to

maintain data in tegrity. Clock dat a should be con-

sidered suspect and verified as correct. A fresh

battery should be installed.

If a battery low indication is generated during the

24-hour interval check, this indicates that the bat-

tery is n ear end of life. Howe ver, dat a i s not com-

promised due to the fact that a nominal VCC is

supplied. In order to insure data integrity during

subsequent pe riods of bat tery back-up m ode, the

battery should be replaced.

The M41T81S only monitors the battery when a

nominal VCC is applied to the device. Thus appli-

cations which require extensive durations in the

battery back- up mode should be powered-up peri-

odically (at least once every few mont hs) in order

for this technique to be beneficial. Addit ionally , i f a

battery low is indicated, data integrity should be

verified upon power-up via a checksum or other

technique.

Osc illator Fail Detec tion

If the Oscil lator Fail Bit (OF) is internall y set to '1,'

this indicates that the oscillator has either stopped,

or was stopped for some period of time and can be

used to judge the validity of t he cl ock and date da-

ta.

In the event the OF Bit is found to be set to '1' at

any time other than the initial power-up, the STOP

Bit (ST) should be written to a '1,' then immediately

reset to '0.' Th is w ill re s tart the os c ill a tor .

The following conditions can cause the OF Bit to

be set:

– The first time power is applied (defaults to a '1'

on powe r-up).

– The volt age present on VCC is i n su fficie n t to

suppor t os c illation .

– The ST Bit is set to '1.'

– External interferenc e of the crystal.

The OF Bit will remain set to '1' until written to logic

'0.' The oscillator must start and have run for at

least 4 seconds before attempt ing to reset the OF

Bi t to '0. '

Osc illator Fail Inte r rup t Enable

If the Oscillator Fail Interrupt Bit (OFIE) is set to a

'1,' the IRQ pin will also be activat ed. The IRQ out-

put is cleared by resetting the OFIE or OF Bit to '0'

(not be reading the Flags Register).

Output Driver Pin

When the F T Bit, AFE Bit , SQ WE Bi t, and Wa tch-

dog Register are not set, the IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW

pin becomes an output driver that reflects t he con-

tents of D7 of the Calibration Register. In other

words, when D7 (O UT Bit) and D6 (FT Bit) of ad-

dress location 08h are a '0,' then the IRQ/FT/OUT/

SQW pi n will be dri ven low.

Note: The I RQ/ FT/OUT/ SQW pin is an open drain

which requires an external pull-up resistor.

Upon initial application of power to the device, the

following register bits are set to a '0' state: Wat ch-
