Description:
The MCP7940N series of low-power Real-Time Clocks
(RTC) uses digital timing compensation for an accurate
clock/calendar, a programmable output control for
versatility, a power sense circuit that automatically
switches to the backup supply. Using a low-cost 32.768
kHz crystal, it tracks time using several internal
registers. For communication, the MCP7940N uses the
I2C™ bus.
The clock/calendar automatically adjusts for months
with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for
leap years. The clock operates in either the 24-hour
or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator and
settable alarm(s) to the second, minute, hour, day of
the week, date or month. Using the programmable
CLKOUT, frequencies of 32.768, 8.192 and 4.096
kHz and 1 Hz can be generated from the external
crystal.
The device is fully accessible through the serial
interface while VCC is between 1.8V and 5.5V, but can
operate down to 1.3V for timekeeping and SRAM
retention only.
The RTC series of devices are available in the standard
8-lead SOIC, TSSOP, MSOP and 2x3 TDFN packages.

3.0 PIN DESCRIPTIONS
The descriptions of the pins are listed in Tab le 3 -1 .
TABLE 3-1: PIN DESCRIPTIONS
FIGURE 3-1: DEVICE PINOUTS
3.1 Serial Data (SDA)
This is a bidirectional pin used to transfer addresses
and data into and out of the device. It is an open-drain
terminal, therefore, the SDA bus requires a pull-up
resistor to VCC (typically 10 k for 100 kHz, 2 k for
400 kHz). For normal data transfer, SDA is allowed to
change only during SCL low. Changes during SCL high
are reserved for indicating the Start and Stop
conditions.
3.2 Serial Clock (SCL)
This input is used to synchronize the data transfer from
and to the device.
3.3 X1, X2
External Crystal Pins.
3.4 MFP

4.0 I2C BUS CHARACTERISTICS
4.1 I2C Interface
The MCP7940N supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus
and data transmission protocol. A device that sends
data onto the bus is defined as transmitter, and a
device receiving data as receiver. The bus has to be
controlled by a master device which generates the Start
and Stop conditions, while the MCP7940N works as
slave. Both master and slave can operate as
transmitter or receiver but the master device
determines which mode is activated.
4.1.1 BUS CHARACTERISTICS
The following bus 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 a Start or Stop condition.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined (Figure 4-1).
4.1.1.1 Bus not Busy (A)
Both data and clock lines remain high.
4.1.1.2 Start Data Transfer (B)
A high-to-low transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Start condition. All
commands must be preceded by a Start condition.
4.1.1.3 Stop Data Transfer (C)
A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the clock
(SCL) is high determines a Stop condition. All
operations must end with a Stop condition.
4.1.1.4 Data Valid (D)
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 must be changed during the low
period of the clock signal. There is one bit of data per
clock pulse.
Each data transfer is initiated with a Start condition and
terminated with a Stop condition. The number of the
data bytes transferred between the Start and Stop
conditions is determined by the master device.
4.1.1.5 Acknowledge
Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to
generate an Acknowledge signal after the reception of
each byte. The master device must generate an extra
clock pulse which is associated with this Acknowledge
bit.
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA
line during the Acknowledge clock pulse in such a way
that the SDA line is stable-low during the high period of
the Acknowledge-related clock pulse. Of course, setup
and hold times must be taken into account. During
reads, a master must signal an end of data to the slave
by NOT generating an Acknowledge bit on the last byte
that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the
slave (MCP7940N) will leave the data line high to
enable the master to generate the Stop condition.

FIGURE 4-2: ACKNOWLEDGE TIMING
4.1.2 DEVICE ADDRESSING AND OPERATION
A control byte is the first byte received following the
Start condition from the master device (Figure 4-2).
The control byte for accessing the SRAM and RTCC
registers are set to 1101111’. The RTCC registers and
the SRAM share the same address space.
The last bit of the control byte defines the operation to
be performed. When set to a1’ a read operation is
selected, and when set to a ‘0a write operation is
selected. The next byte received defines the address of
the data byte (Figure 4-3). The upper address bits are
transferred first, followed by the Least Significant bits
(LSb).
Following the Start condition, the MCP7940N monitors
the SDA bus, checking the device type identifier being
transmitted. Upon receiving an ‘1101111’ code, the
slave device outputs an Acknowledge signal on the
SDA line. Depending on the state of the R/W bit, the
MCP7940N will select a read or write operation.
FIGURE 4-3: ADDRESS SEQUENCE BIT ASSIGNMENTS

5.0 RTCC FUNCTIONALITY
The MCP7940N family is a highly integrated RTCC.
On-board time and date counters are driven from a low-
power oscillator to maintain the time and date. An
integrated VCC switch enables the device to maintain
the time and date and also the contents of the SRAM
during a VCC power failure.
5.1 RTCC MEMORY MAP
The RTCC registers are contained in addresses
0x00h-0x1fh. 64 bytes of user-accessable SRAM are
located in the address range 0x20-0x5f. The SRAM
memory is a separate block from the RTCC control
and Configuration registers. All SRAM locations are
battery-backed-up during a VCC power fail. Unused
locations are not accessible, MCP7940N will noACK
after the address byte if the address is out of range, as
shown in the shaded region of the memory map in
Figure 5-1. The shaded areas are not implemented
and read as ‘0’. No error checking is provided when
loading time and date registers.
Addresses 0x00h-0x06h are the RTCC Time and
Date registers. These are read/write registers.
Care must be taken when accessing these
registers while the oscillator is running.
Incorrect data can appear in the Time and Date
registers if a write is attempted during the time
frame where these internal registers are being
incremented. The user can minimize the likeli-
hood of data corruption by ensuring that any
writes to the Time and Date registers occur before
the contents of the second register reach a value
of 0x59H.
Addresses 0x07h-0x09h are the device Configu-
ration and Calibration.
Addresses 0x0Ah-0x10h are the Alarm 0
registers. These are used to set up the Alarm 0,
the Interrupt polarity and the Alarm 0 compare.
Addresses 0x11h-0x17h are the same as 0x0Bh-
0x11h but are used for Alarm 1.
Addresses 0x18h-0x1Fh are used for the time-
stamp feature.
The detailed memory map is shown in Ta b l e 5 - 1 .

5.1.1 RTCC REGISTER ADDRESSES
0x00h – Contains the BCD seconds and 10 seconds.
The range is 00 to 59. Bit 7 in this register is used to
start or stop the on-board crystal oscillator. Setting this
bit to a1’ starts the oscillator and clearing this bit to a
0’ stops the on-board oscillator.
0x01h – Contains the BCD minutes and 10 minutes.
The range is 00 to 59.
0x02h – Contains the BCD hour in bits 3:0. Bits 5:4
contain either the 10 hour in BCD for 24-hour format or
the AM/PM indicator and the 10-hour bit for 12-hour
format. Bit 5 determines the hour format. Setting this
bit to ‘0enables 24-hour format, setting this bit to ‘1
enables 12-hour format.
0x03h – Contains the BCD day. The range is 1-7.
Additional bits are also used for configuration and
status.
Bit 3 is the VBATEN bit. If this bit is set, the
internal circuitry is connected to the VBAT pin
when VCC fails. If this bit is ‘0’ then the VBAT pin is
disconnected and the only current drain on the
external battery is the VBAT pin leakage.
Bit 4 is the VBAT bit. This bit is set by hardware
when the VCC fails and the VBAT is used to power
the Oscillator and the RTCC registers. This bit is
cleared by software. Clearing this bit will also
clear all the time-stamp registers.
Bit 5 is the OSCON bit. This is set and cleared by
hardware. If this bit is set, the oscillator is running,
if cleared, the oscillator is not running. This bit
does not indicate that the oscillator is running at
the correct frequency. The RTCC will wait 32
oscillator cycles before the bit is set. The RTCC
will wait roughly 32 clock cycles to clear this bit.
0x04h – Contains the BCD date and 10 date. The
range is 01-31. Bits 5:4 contain the 10’s date and bits
4:0 contain the date.
0x05h – Contains the BCD month. Bit 4 contains the
10 month. Bit 5 is the Leap Year bit, which is set during
a leap year and is read-only.
0x06h – Contains the BCD year and 10 year. The
Range is 00-99.
0x07h – Is the Control register.
Bit 7 is the OUT bit. This sets the logic level on the
MFP when not using this as a square wave output.
Bit 6 is the SQWE bit. Setting this bit enables the
divided output from the crystal oscillator.
Bits 5:4 determine which alarms are active.
-00 – No Alarms are active
-01 – Alarm 0 is active
-10 – Alarm 1 is active
-11 – Both Alarms are active
Bit 3 is the EXTOSC enable bit. Setting this bit will
allow an external 32.768 kHz signal to drive the
RTCC registers eliminating the need for an
external crystal.
Bit 2:0 sets the internal divider for the 32.768 kHz
oscillator to be driven to the MFP. The duty cycle is
50%. The output is responsive to the Calibration
register. The following frequencies are available:
-000 – 1 Hz
-001 – 4.096 kHz
-010 – 8.192 kHz
-011 – 32.768 kHz
- 1xx enables the Cal output function. Cal
output appears on MFP if SQWE is set (64 Hz
Nominal). See Section 5.2.1 “Calibration”
for more details.
0x08h is the Calibration register. This is an 8-bit
register that is used to add or subtract clocks from the
RTCC counter every minute. The MSB is the sign bit
and indicates if the count should be added or
subtracted. The remaining 7 bits, with each bit adding
or subtracting 2 clocks, give the user the ability to add
or subtract up to 254 clocks per minute.
0x0Ah-0x0fh and 0x11-0x16h are the Alarm 0 and
Alarm 1 registers. The bits are the same as the RTCC
bits with the following differences:
Locations 0x10h and 0x17h are reserved and should
not be used to allow for future device compatibility.
0x0Dh/0x14h has additional bits for alarm configu-
ration.
ALMxPOL: This bit specifies the level that the
MFP will drive when the alarm is triggered.
ALM2POL is a copy of ALM1POL. The default
state of the MFP when used for alarms is the
inverse of ALM1POL.
ALMxIF: This is the Alarm Interrupt Fag. This bit is
set in hardware if the alarm was triggered. The bit
is cleared in software.
ALMxC2:0: These Configuration bits determine
the alarm match. The logic will trigger the alarm
based on one of the following match conditions:
Note: The RTCC counters will continue to
increment during the calibration.

MCP7940N
The 12/24-hour bits 0xCh.6 and 0x13h.6 are cop-
ies of the bit in 0x02h.6. The bits are read-only.
0x18h-0x1Bh are used for the timesaver function.
These registers are loaded at the time when VCC fails
and the RTCC operates on the VBAT. The VBAT bit is
also set at this time. These registers are cleared when
the VBAT bit is cleared in software.
0x1Ch-0x1Fh are used for the timesaver function.
These registers are loaded at the time when VCC is
restored and the RTCC switches to VDD. These
registers are cleared when the VBAT bit is cleared in
software.
5.2 FEATURES
5.2.1 CALIBRATION
The MCP7940N utilizes digital calibration to correct for
inaccuracies of the input clock source (either external
or crystal). Calibration is enabled by setting the value
of the Calibration register at address 08H. Calibration
is achieved by adding or subtracting a number of input
clock cycles per minute in order to achieve ppm level
adjustments in the internal timing function of the
MCP7940N.
The MSB of the Calibration register is the sign bit, with
a ‘1’ indicating subtraction and a ‘0’ indicating addition.
The remaining seven bits in the register indicate the
number of input clock cycles (multiplied by two) that
are subtracted or added per minute to the internal
timing function.
The internal timing function can be monitored using
the MFP open-drain output pin by setting bit [6]
(SQWE) and bits [2:0] (RS2, RS1, RS0) of the control
register at address 07H. Note that the MFP output
waveform is disabled when the MCP7940N is running
in VBAT mode. With the SQWE bit set to ‘1’, there are
two methods that can be used to observe the internal
timing function of the MCP7940N:
A. RS2 BIT SET TO ‘0
With the RS2 bit set to ‘0, the RS1 and RS0 bits
enable the following internal timing signals to be
output on the MFP pin:
The frequencies listed in the table presume an input
clock source of exactly 32.768 kHz. In terms of the
equivalent number of input clock cycles, the table
becomes:
With regards to the calibration function, the Calibration
register setting has no impact upon the MFP output
clock signal when bits RS1 and RS0 are set to11’.
The setting of the Calibration register to a non-zero
value (i.e., values other than 00H or 80H) enables the
calibration function which can be observed on the
MFP output pin. The calibration function can be
expressed in terms of the number of input clock cycles
added/subtracted from the internal timing function.
001 Minutes match
010 Hours match (takes into account 12/24
hour)
011 Matches the current day, interrupt at

Note: It is strongly recommended that the
timesaver function only be used when the
oscillator is running. This will ensure
accurate functionality.

DS25010E-page 14 2011-2013 Microchip Technology Inc.
With bits RS1 and RS0 set to00’, the calibration
function can be expressed as:
Since the calibration is done once per minute (i.e.,
when the internal minute counter is incremented), only
one cycle in sixty of the MFP output waveform is
affected by the calibration setting. Also note that the
duty cycle of the MFP output waveform will not
necessarily be at 50% when the calibration setting is
applied.
With bits RS1 and RS0 set to ‘01’ or ‘10’, the
calibration function can not be expressed in terms of
the input clock period. In the case where the MSB of
the Calibration register is set to0’, the waveform
appearing at the MFP output pin will be “delayed”,
once per minute, by twice the number of input clock
cycles defined in the Calibration register. The MFP
waveform will appear as:
FIGURE 5-2: RS1 AND RS0 WITH AND WITHOUT CALIBRATION
In the case where the MSB of the Calibration register
is set to ‘1’, the MFP output waveforms that appear
when bits RS1 and RS0 are set to ‘01’ or ‘10’ are not
as responsive to the setting of the Calibration register.
For example, when outputting the 4.096 kHz
waveform (RS1, RS0 set to ‘01’), the output waveform
is generated using only eight input clock cycles.
Consequently, attempting to subtract more than eight
input clock cycles from this output does not have a
meaningful effect on the resulting waveform. Any
effect on the output will appear as a modification in
both the frequency and duty cycle of the waveform
appearing on the MFP output pin.
B.RS2 BIT SET TO ‘1
With the RS2 bit set to ‘1’, the following internal timing
signal is output on the MFP pin:
The frequency listed in the table presumes an input
clock source of exactly 32.768 kHz. In terms of the
equivalent number of input clock cycles, the table
becomes:
Unlike the method previously described, the
calibration setting is continuously applied and affects
every cycle of the output waveform. This results in the
modulation of the frequency of the output waveform
based upon the setting of the Calibration register.
Using this setting, the calibration function can be
expressed as:
Since the calibration is done every cycle, the frequency
of the output MFP waveform is constant.
Toutput = (32768 +/- (2 * CALREG)) Tinput
where:
Toutput = clock period of MFP output signal
Tinput = clock period of input signal
CALREG = decimal value of Calibration
register setting and the sign is
determined by the MSB of
Calibration register.

MCP7940N
5.2.2 MFP
Pin 7 is a multi-function pin and supports the following
functions:
Use of the OUT bit in the Control register for
single bit I/O
Alarm Outputs – Available in VBAT mode
FOUT mode – driven from a FOSC divider – Not
available in VBAT mode
The internal control logic for the MFP is connected to
the switched internal supply bus, this allows operation
in VBAT mode. The Alarm Output is the only mode that
operates in VBAT mode, other modes are suspended.
5.2.3 VBAT
The MCP7940N features an internal switch that will
power the clock and the SRAM. In the event that the
VCC supply is not available, the voltage applied to the
VBAT pin serves as the backup supply. A low-value
series resistor is recommended between the external
battery and the VBAT pin to limit the current to the
internal switch circuit.
The VBAT trip point is the point at which the internal
switch operates the device from the VBAT supply and
is typically 1.5V (VTRIP specification D12) typical.
When VDD falls below 1.5V the system will continue to
operate the RTCC and SRAM using the VBAT supply.
The following conditions apply:
If the VBAT feature is not being used, the VBAT pin must
be connected to GND. For more information on VBAT
conditions see application note AN1365, “RTCC Best
Practices” (DS01365).

5.2.5 POWER-FAIL TIME-STAMP
The MCP7941X family of RTCC devices feature a
power-fail time-stamp feature. This feature will store
the time at which VCC crosses the VTRIP voltage and is
shown in Figure 5-4. To use this feature, a VBAT
supply must be present and the oscillator must also be
running.
There are two separate sets of registers that are used
to record this information:
The first set, located at 0x18h through 0x1Bh, is
loaded at the time when VCC falls below VTRIP
and the RTCC operates on the VBAT. The VBAT
(register 0x03h bit 4) bit is also set at this time.
The second set of registers, located at 0x1Ch
through 0x1Fh, is loaded at the time when VCC is
restored and the RTCC switches to VCC.
The power-fail time-stamp registers are cleared when
the VBAT bit is cleared in software.

MCP7940N
6.2 RTCC/SRAM
6.2.1 SRAM BYTE WRITE
Following the Start condition from the master, the
control code and the R/W bit (which is a logic low) are
clocked onto the bus by the master transmitter. This
indicates to the addressed slave receiver that a byte
with a word address will follow after it has generated an
Acknowledge bit during the ninth clock cycle.
Therefore, the next byte transmitted by the master is
the word address and will be written into the Address
Pointer of the MCP7940N. After receiving another
Acknowledge signal from the MCP7940N, the master
device transmits the data word to be written into the
addressed memory location. The MCP7940N
acknowledges again and the master generates a Stop
condition. After a Byte Write command, the internal
address counter will point to the address location
following the one that was just written.
FIGURE 6-3: SRAM BYTE WRITE
6.2.2 READ OPERATION
Read operations are initiated in the same way as write
operations with the exception that the R/W bit of the
control byte is set to one. There are three basic types
of read operations: current address read, random read,
and sequential read.
6.2.2.1 Current Address Read
The MCP7940N contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word accessed,
internally incremented by one. Therefore, if the
previous read access was to address n (n is any legal
address), the next current address read operation
would access data from address n + 1.
Upon receipt of the control byte with R/W bit set to one,
the MCP7940N issues an Acknowledge and transmits
the 8-bit data word. The master will not acknowledge
the transfer but does generate a Stop condition and the
MCP7940N discontinues transmission (Figure 6-4).
FIGURE 6-4: CURRENT ADDRESS
READ
6.2.2.2 Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access
any memory location in a random manner. To perform
this type of read operation, first the word address must
be set. This is done by sending the word address to the
MCP7940N as part of a write operation (R/W bit set to
0’). After the word address is sent, the master
generates a Start condition following the Acknowledge.
This terminates the write operation, but not before the
internal Address Pointer is set. Then, the master issues
the control byte again but with the R/W bit set to a one.
The MCP7940N will then issue an Acknowledge and
transmit the 8-bit data word. The master will not
acknowledge the transfer but it does generate a Stop
condition which causes the MCP7940N to discontinue
transmission (Figure 6-5). After a Random Read
command, the internal address counter will point to the
address location following the one that was just read.
Note: Addressing undefined SRAM locations will
result in the MCP7940N not
acknowledging the address.

6.2.2.3 Sequential Read
Sequential reads are initiated in the same way as a
random read except that after the MCP7940N
transmits the first data byte, the master issues an
Acknowledge as opposed to the Stop condition used in
a random read. This Acknowledge directs the
MCP7940N to transmit the next sequentially
addressed 8-bit word (Figure 6-6). Following the final
byte transmitted to the master, the master will NOT
generate an Acknowledge but will generate a Stop
condition. To provide sequential reads, the MCP7940N
contains an internal Address Pointer which is
incremented by one at the completion of each
operation. This Address Pointer allows the entire
memory contents to be serially read during one
operation. The internal Address Pointer will automat-
ically roll over to the start of the Block.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Microchip received ISO/TS-16949:2009 certification for its worldwide
headquarters, design and wafer fabrication facilities in Chandler and
Tempe, Arizona; Gresham, Oregon and design centers in California
and India. The Company’s quality system processes and procedures
are for its PIC® MCUs and dsPIC® DSCs, KEELOQ® code hopping
devices, Serial EEPROMs, microperipherals, nonvolatile memory and
analog products. In addition, Microchip’s quality system for the design
and manufacture of development systems is ISO 9001:2000 certified.
