DP8570A Timer Clock Peripheral (TCP)
May 1993
DP8570A Timer Clock Peripheral (TCP)
General Description
The DP8570A is intended for use in microprocessor based systems where information is required for multi-tasking, data logging or general time of day/date information. This device is implemented in low voltage silicon gate microCMOS tech­nology to provide low standby power in battery back-up en­vironments. The circuit’s architecture is such that it looks like a contiguous block of memory or I/O ports. The address space is organized as 2 software selectable pages of 32 bytes. This includes the Control Registers, the Clock Coun­ters, the Alarm Compare RAM, the Timers and their data RAM, and the Time Save RAM. Any of the RAM locations that are not being used for their intended purpose may be used as general purpose CMOS RAM.
Time and date are maintained from 1/100 of a second to year and leap year in a BCD format, 12 or 24 hour modes. Day of week, day of month and day of year counters are provided. Time is controlled by an on-chip crystal oscillator requiring only the addition of the crystal and two capacitors. The choice of crystal frequency is program selectable.
Two independent multifunction 10 MHz 16-bit timers are provided. These timers operate in four modes. Each has its own prescaler and can select any of 8 possible clock inputs. Thus, by programming the input clocks and the timer coun­ter values a very wide range of timing durations can be achieved. The range is from about 400 ns (4.915 MHz oscil­lator) to 65,535 seconds (18 hrs., 12 min.).
Power failure logic and control functions have been integrat­ed on chip. This logic is used by the TCP to issue a power fail
interrupt, and lock out the mp interface. The time power fails may be logged into RAM automatically when V

Additionally, two supply pins are provided. When V

General Description (Continued)
The DP8570A’s interrupt structure provides four basic types of interrupts: Periodic, Alarm/Compare, Timer, and Power Fail. Interrupt mask and status registers enable the masking and easy determination of each interrupt.
One dedicated general purpose interrupt output is provided. A second interrupt output is available on the Multiple Func­tion Output (MFO) pin. Each of these may be selected to generate an interrupt from any source. Additionally, the MFO pin may be programmed to be either as oscillator out­put or Timer 0’s output.
Pin Description
CS,RD,WR(Inputs): These pins interface to mP control
lines. The CS
pin is an active low enable for the read and write operations. Read and Write pins are also active low and enable reading or writing to the TCP. All three pins are disabled when power failure is detected. However, if a read or write is in progress at this time, it will be allowed to com­plete its cycle.
A0–A4 (Inputs): These 5 pins are for register selection. They individually control which location is to be accessed. These inputs are disabled when power failure is detected.
OSC IN (Input): OSC OUT (Output): These two pins are used to connect the crystal to the internal parallel resonant oscillator. The oscillator is always running when power is applied to V
BB
and VCC, and the correct crystal select bits in
the Real Time Mode Register have been set.
MFO (Output): The multi-function output can be used as a second interrupt output for interrupting the mP. This pin can also provide an output for the oscillator or the internal Timer
0. The MFO output can be programmed active high or low, open drain or push-pull. If in battery backed mode and a pull-up resistor is attached, it should be connected to a volt­age no greater than V
BB
. This pin is configured open drain
during battery operation (V
BB
l
VCC).
INTR (Output): The interrupt output is used to interrupt the processor when a timing event or power fail has occurred and the respective interrupt has been enabled. The INTR output can be programmed active high or low, push-pull or open drain. If in battery backed mode and a pull-up resistor is attached, it should be connected to a voltage no greater than V
BB
. This pin is configured open drain during battery
operation (V
BB
l
VCC). The output is a DC voltage level. To clear the INTR, writea1totheappropriate bit(s) in the Main Status Register.
D0–D7 (Input/Output): These 8 bidirectional pins connect to the host mP’s data bus and are used to read from and write to the TCP. When the PFAIL
pin goes low and a write
is not in progress, these pins are at TRI-STATE.
PFAIL
(Input): In battery backed mode, this pin can have a
digital signal applied to it via some external power detection logic. When PFAIL
e
logic 0 the TCP goes into a lockout mode, in a minimum of 30 ms or a maximum of 63 ms unless lockout delay is programmed. In the single power supply mode, this pin is not useable as an input and should be tied to V
CC
. Refer to section on Power Fail Functional Descrip-
tion.
V
BB
(Battery Power Pin): This pin is connected to a back-
CC
becomes lower than VBB. Utiliz­ing this pin eliminates the need for external logic to switch in and out the back-up power supply. If this feature is not to be
used then this pin must be tied to ground, the TCP pro­grammed for single power supply only, and power applied to the V
CC
pin.
TCK, G1, G0, (Inputs), T1 (Output): TCK is the clock input to both timers when they have an external clock selected. In modes 0, 1, and 2, G0 and G1 are active low enable inputs for timers 0 and 1 respectively. In mode 3, G0 and G1 are positive edge triggers to the timers. T1 is dedicated to the timer 1 output. The T1 output can be programmed active high or low, push-pull or open drain. Timer 0 output is avail­able through MFO pin if desired. If in battery backed mode and a pull-up resistor is attached to T1, it should be con­nected to a voltage no greater than V
BB
. The T1 pin is con-
figured open drain during battery operation (V
BB
l
VCC).
VCC: This is the main system power pin.
GND: This is the common ground power pin for both V
BB
and VCC.

The memory map of the TCP is shown in the memory ad­dressing table. The memory map consists of two 31 byte pages with a main status register that is common to both pages. A control bit in the Main Status Register is used to select either page.
Figure 2
shows the basic concept. Page 0 contains all the clock timer functions, while page 1 has scratch pad RAM. The control registers are split into two separate blocks to allow page 1 to be used entirely as scratch pad RAM. Again a control bit in the Main Status Register is used to select either control register block.

INITIAL POWER-ON of BOTH V
BB
and V
CC
VBBand VCCmay be applied in any sequence. In order for the power fail circuitry to function correctly, whenever power is off, the V
CC
pin must see a path to ground through a maximum of 1 MX. The user should be aware that the con­trol registers will contain random data. The first task to be carried out in an initialization routine is to start the oscillator by writing to the crystal select bits in the Real Time Mode Register. If the DP8570A is configured for single supply mode, an extra 50 mA may be consumed until the crystal select bits are programmed. The user should also ensure that the TCP is not in test mode (see register descriptions).
REAL TIME CLOCK FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
As shown in
Figure 2
, the clock has 10 bytes of counters, which count from 1/100 of a second to years. Each counter counts in BCD and is synchronously clocked. The count se­quence of the individual byte counters within the clock is shown later in Table VII. Note that the day of week, day of month, day of year, and month counters all roll over to 1. The hours counter in 12 hour mode rolls over to 1 and the AM/PM bit toggles when the hours rolls over to 12 (AM
e
0, PMe1). The AM/PM bit is bit D7 in the hours
counter.
All other counters roll over to 0. Also note that the day of year counter is 12 bits long and occupies two addresses. Upon initial application of power the counters will contain random information.
READING THE CLOCK: VALIDATED READ
1. Initialize program for reading clock.
2. Dummy read of periodic status bit to clear it.
3. Read counter bytes and store.
4. Read rollover bit, and test it.
5. If rollover occured go to 3.
6. If no rollover, done.
To detect the rollover, individual periodic status bits can be polled. The periodic bit chosen should be equal to the high­est frequency counter register to be read. That is if only SECONDS through HOURS counters are read, then the SECONDS periodic bit should be used.
READING THE CLOCK: INTERRUPT DRIVEN
Enabling the periodic interrupt mask bits cause interrupts just as the clock rolls over. Enabling the desired update rate and providing an interrupt service routine that executes in less than 10 ms enables clock reading without checking for a rollover.
READING THE CLOCK: LATCHED READ
Another method to read the clock that does not require checking the rollover bit is to write a one into the Time
INITIALIZING AND WRITING TO THE CALENDAR-CLOCK
Upon initial application of power to the TCP or when making time corrections, the time must be written into the clock. To correctly write the time to the counters, the clock would normally be stopped by writing the Start/Stop
bit in the Real Time Mode Register to a zero. This stops the clock from counting and disables the carry circuitry. When initializing the clock’s Real Time Mode Register, it is recommended that first the various mode bits be written while maintaining the Start/Stop
bit reset, and then writing to the register a
second time with the Start/Stop
bit set.
PRESCALER/OSCILLATOR FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Feeding the counter chain is a programmable prescaler which divides the crystal oscillator frequency to 32 kHz and further to 100 Hz for the counter chain (see
Figure 3
). The crystal frequency that can be selected are: 32 kHz, 32.768 kHz, 4.9152 MHz, and 4.194304 MHz.
Once 32 kHz is generated it feeds both timers and the clock. The clock and timer prescalers can be independently enabled by controlling the timer or clock Start/Stop
bits.
TL/F/8638– 2
FIGURE 3. Programmable Clock Prescaler Block

Page 8
Functional Description (Continued)
The oscillator is programmed via the Real Time Mode Reg­ister to operate at various frequencies. The crystal oscillator is designed to offer optimum performance at each frequen­cy. Thus, at 32.768 kHz the oscillator is configured as a low frequency and low power oscillator. At the higher frequen­cies the oscillator inverter is reconfigured. In addition to the inverter, the oscillator feedback bias resistor is included on chip, as shown in
Figure 4
. The oscillator input may be driv­en from an external source if desired. Refer to test mode application note for details. The oscillator stability is en­hanced through the use of an on chip regulated power sup­ply.
The typical range of trimmer capacitor (as shown in Oscilla­tor Circuit Diagram
Figure 4
, and in the typical application) at the oscillator input pin is suggested only to allow accurate tuning of the oscillator. This range is based on a typical printed circuit board layout and may have to be changed depending on the parasitic capacitance of the printed circuit board or fixture being used. In all cases, the load capaci- tance specified by the crystal manufacturer (nominal value 11 pF for the 32.768 crystal) is what determines proper os­cillation. This load capcitance is the series combination of capacitance on each side of the crystal (with respect to ground).

INTERRUPT LOGIC FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Figure 5
and Table I.)
The interrupts are enabled by writing a one to the appropri­ate bits in Interrupt Control Register 0 and/or 1. Any of the interrupts can be routed to either the INTR pin or the MFO pin, depending on how the Interrupt Routing register is pro­grammed. This, for example, enables the user to dedicate the MFO as a non-maskable interrupt pin to the CPU for power failure detection and enable all other interrupts to appear on the INTR pin. The polarity for the active interrupt can be programmed in the Output Mode Register for either active high or low, and open drain or push pull outputs.

Register
The Interrupt Status Flag D0, in the Main Status Register, indicates the state of INTR and MFO outputs. It is set when either output becomes active and is cleared when all TCP interrupts have been cleared and no further interrupts are pending (i.e., both INTR and MFO are returned to their inac­tive state). This flag enables the TCP to be rapidly polled by the mP to determine the source of an interrupt in a wiredÐ OR interrupt system.
Status for the interrupts are provided by the Main Status Register and the Periodic Flag Register. Bits D1 – D5 of the Main Status Register are the main interrupt bits.
These register bits will be set when their associated timing events occur. Enabled Alarm or Timer interrupts that occur will set its Main Status Register bit to a one. However, an external interrupt will only be generated if the appropriate Alarm or Timer interrupt enable bits are set (see
Figure 5
).
Disabling the periodic bits will mask the Main Status Regis­ter periodic bit, but not the Periodic Flag Register bits. The Power Fail Interrupt bit is set when the interrupt is enabled and a power fail event has occurred, and is not reset until the power is restored. If all interrupt enable bits are 0 no interrupt will be asserted. However, status still can be read from the Main Status Register in a polled fashion (see
Fig-
ure 5
).
To clear a flag in bits D2 –D5 of the Main Status Register a 1 must be written back into the bit location that is to be cleared. For the Periodic Flag Register reading the status will reset all the periodic flags.

Functional Description (Continued)
Interrupts Fall Into Four Categories:
1. The Timer Interrupts: For description see Timer Section.
2. The Alarm Compare Interrupt: Issued when the value in the time compared RAM equals the counter.
4. The Power Fail Interrupt: Issued upon recognition of a power fail condition by the internal sensing logic. The power failed condition is determined by the signal on the PFAIL
pin. The internal power fail signal is gated with the chip select signal to ensure that the power fail interrupt does not lock the chip out during a read or write.
ALARM COMPARE INTERRUPT DESCRIPTON
The alarm/time comparison interrupt is a special interrupt similar to an alarm clock wake up buzzer. This interrupt is generated when the clock time is equal to a value pro­grammed into the alarm compare registers. Up to six bytes can be enabled to perform alarm time comparisons on the counter chain. These six bytes, or some subset thereof, would be loaded with the future time at which the interrupt will occur. Next, the appropriate bits in the Interrupt Control Register 1 are enabled or disabled (refer to detailed descrip­tion of Interrupt Control Register 1). The TCP then com­pares these bytes with the clock time. When all the enabled compare registers equal the clock time an alarm interrupt is issued, but only if the alarm compare interrupt is enabled can the interrupt be generated externally. Each alarm com­pare bit in the Control Register will enable a specific byte for comparison to the clock. Disabling a compare byte is the same as setting its associated counter comparator to an ‘‘always equal’’ state. For example, to generate an interrupt at 3:15 AM of every day, load the hours compare with 0 3 (BCD), the minutes compare with 1 5 (BCD) and the faster counters with 0 0 (BCD), and then disable all other compare registers. So every day when the time rolls over from 3:14:59.99, an interrupt is issued. This bit may be reset by writing a one to bit D3 in the Main Status Register at any time after the alarm has been generated.
If time comparison for an individual byte counter is disabled, that corresponding RAM location can then be used as gen­eral purpose storage.
PERIODIC INTERRUPTS DESCRIPTION
The Periodic Flag Register contains six flags which are set by real-time generated ‘‘ticks’’ at various time intervals, see
Figure 5
. These flags constantly sense the periodic signals and may be used whether or not interrupts are enabled. These flags are cleared by any read or write operation per­formed on this register.
To generate periodic interrupts at the desired rate, the asso­ciated Periodic Interrupt Enable bit in Interrupt Control Reg­ister 0 must be set. Any combination of periodic interrupts may be enabled to operate simultaneously. Enabled period­ic interrupts will now affect the Periodic Interrupt Flag in the Main Status Register. The Periodic Route bit in the Interrupt Routing Register is used to route the periodic interrupt events to either the INTR output or the MFO output.
When a periodic event occurs, the Periodic Interrupt Flag in the Main Status Register is set, causing an interrupt to be generated. The mP clears both flag and interrupt by writing a ‘‘1’’ to the Periodic Interrupt Flag. The individual flags in the periodic Interrupt Flag Register do not require clearing to cancel the interrupt.
If all periodic interrupts are disabled and a periodic interrupt is left pending (i.e., the Periodic Interrupt Flag is still set), the Periodic Interrupt Flag will still be required to be cleared to cancel the pending interrupt.
POWER FAIL INTERRUPTS DESCRIPTION
The Power Fail Status Flag in the Main Status Register monitors the state of the internal power fail signal. This flag may be interrogated by the mP, but it cannot be cleared; it is cleared automatically by the TCP when system power is restored. To generate an interrupt when the power fails, the Power Fail Interrupt Enable bit in Interrupt Control Register 1 is set.
The Power Fail Route bit determines which output the inter­rupt will appear on. Although this interrupt may not be cleared, it may be masked by clearing the Power Fail Inter­rupt Enable bit.
POWER FAILURE CIRCUITRY FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Since the clock must be operated from a battery when the main system supply has been turned off, the DP8570A pro­vides circuitry to simplify design in battery backed systems. This circuitry switches over to the back up supply, and iso­lates the DP8570A from the host system.
Figure 6
shows a simplified block diagram of this circuitry, which consists of three major sections; 1) power loss logic: 2) battery switch over logic: and 3) isolation logic.
Detection of power loss occurs when PFAIL
is low. De­bounce logic provides a 30 ms–63 ms debounce time, which will prevent noise on the PFAIL
pin from being interpreted as a system failure. After 30 ms–63 ms the debounce logic times out and a signal is generated indicating that system power is marginal and is failing. The Power Fail Interrupt will then be generated.

and Lock-Out Circuits (Lower Right)
The user may choose to have this power failed signal lock­out the TCP’s data bus within 30 ms min/63 ms max or to delay the lock-out to enable mP access after power failure is detected. This delay is enabled by setting the delay enable bit in the Routing Register. Also, if the lock-out delay was not enabled the TCP will disconnect itself from the bus with­in 30 ms min
x
63 ms max. If chip select is low when a power failure is detected, a safety circuit will ensure that if a read or write is held active continuously for greater than 30 ms after the power fail signal is asserted, the lock-out will be forced. If a lock-out delay is enabled, the DP8570A will remain active for 480 ms after power fail is detected. This will enable the mP to perform last minute bookkeeping be­fore total system collapse. When the host CPU is finished accessing the TCP it may force the bus lock-out before 480 ms has elapsed by resetting the delay enable bit.
The battery switch over circuitry is completely independent of the PFAIL
pin. A separate circuit compares VCCto the
V
BB
voltage. As the main supply fails, the TCP will continue
to operate from the V
CC
pin until VCCfalls below the V
BB
voltage. At this time, the battery supply is switched in, VCCis disconnected, and the device is now in the standby mode. If indeterminate operation of the battery switch over circuit is to be avoided, then the voltage at the V
CC
pin must not be
allowed to equal the voltage at the V
BB
pin.
After the generation of a lock-out signal, and eventual switch in of the battery supply, the pins of the TCP will be configured as shown in Table II. Outputs that have a pull-up resistor should be connected to a voltage no greater than V
BB

The Timer and Interrupt Power Fail Operation bits in the Real-Time Mode Register determine whether or not the tim­ers and interrupts will continue to function after a power fail event.

. In some cases this may be undesirable, so this circuit can be disabled by masking the power fail interrupt. The power fail input can perform all lock-out functions previously mentioned, except that no ex­ternal interrupt will be issued. Note that the linear power fail circuitry is switched off automatically when using V
BB
in
standby mode.
LOW BATTERY, INITIAL POWER ON DETECT, AND POWER FAIL TIME SAVE
There are three other functions provided on the DP8570A to ease power supply control. These are an initial Power On detect circuit, which also can be used as a time keeping failure detect, a low battery detect circuit, and a time save on power failure.
On initial power up the Oscillator Fail Flag will be set to a one and the real time clock start bit reset to a zero. This indicates that an oscillator fail event has occurred, and time keeping has failed.
The Oscillator Fail flag will not be reset until the real-time clock is started. This allows the system to discriminate be­tween an initial power-up and recovery from a power failure. If the battery backed mode is selected, then bit D6 of the Periodic Flag Register must be written low. This will not af­fect the contents of the Oscillator Fail Flag.
Another status bit is the low battery detect. This bit is set only when the clock is operating under the V
CC
pin, and when the battery voltage is determined to be less than 2.1V (typical). When the power fail interrupt enable bit is low, it disables the power fail circuit and will also shut off the low battery voltage detection circuit as well.
To relieve CPU overhead for saving time upon power failure, the Time Save Enable bit is provided to do this automatical­ly. (See also Reading the Clock: Latched Read.) The Time Save Enable bit, when set, causes the Time Save RAM to follow the contents of the clock. This bit can be reset by software, but if set before a power failure occurs, it will auto­matically be reset when the clock switches to the battery supply (not when a power failure is detected by the PFAIL pin). Thus, writing a one to the Time Save bit enables both a software write or power fail write.
SINGLE POWER SUPPLY APPLICATIONS
BB
pin must be connected to
ground, and the power connected to V
CC
and PFAIL pins. The Oscillator Failed/Single Supply bit in the Periodic Flag Register should be set to a logic 1, which will disable the oscillator battery reference circuit. The power fail interrupt should also be disabled. This will turn off the linear power fail detection circuits, and will eliminate any quiescent power drawn through these circuits. Until the crystal select bits are initialized, the DP8570A may consume about 50 mA due to arbitrary oscillator selection at power on.
(This extra 50 mA is not consumed if the battery backed mode is selected).
TIMER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Figure 7
shows the functional block diagram of one of the timers. The timer consists of a 16-bit counter, two 8-bit input registers, two 8-bit output registers, clock prescaler, mode control logic, and output control logic. The timer and the data registers are organized as two bytes for each timer. Under normal operations a read/write to the timer locations will read or write to the data input register. The timer con­tents can be read by setting the counter Read bit (RD) in the timer control register.
TIMER INITIALIZATION
The timer’s operation is controlled by a set of registers, as listed in Table III. These consist of 2 data input registers and one control register per timer. The data input registers con­tain the timers count down value. The Timer Control Regis­ter is used to set up the mode of operation and the input clock rate. The timer related interrupts can be controlled by programming the Interrupt Routing Register and Interrupt Control Register 0. The timer outputs are configured by the Output Mode Register.

All these registers must be initialized prior to starting the timer(s). The Timer Control Register should first be set to select the timer mode with the timer start/stop
bit reset. Then when the timer is to be started the control register should be rewritten identically but with the start/stop
bit set.
TIMER OPERATION
Each timer is capable of operation in one of four modes. As mentioned, these modes are programmed in each timer’s Control Register which is described later. All four modes operate in a similar manner. They operate on the two 8-bit data words stored into the Data Input Register. At the begin­ning of a counting cycle the 2 bytes are loaded into the timer and the timer commences counting down towards zero. The exact action taken when zero is reached depends on the mode selected, but in general, the timer output will change state, and an interrupt will be generated if the timer inter­rupts are unmasked.

INPUT CLOCK SELECTION
The input frequency to the timers may be selected. Each timer has a prescaler that gives a wide selection of clocking rates. In addition, the DP8570A has a single external clock input pin that can be selected for either of the timers. Table IV shows the range of programmable clocks available and the corresponding setting in the Timer Control Register.
TABLE IV. Programmable Timer Input Clocks
C2 C1 C0 Selected Clock
0 0 0 External 0 0 1 Crystal Oscillator 0 1 0 (Crystal Oscillator)/4 0 1 1 93.5 ms (10.7 kHz) 1 0 0 1 ms (1 kHz) 1 0 1 10 ms (100 Hz) 1 1 0 1/10 Second (10 Hz) 1 1 1 1 Second (1 Hz)
Note that the second and third selections are not fixed fre­quencies, but depend on the crystal oscillator frequency chosen.
Since the input clock frequencies are usually running asyn­chronously to the timer Start/Stop
control bit, a 1 clock cy­cle error may result. This error results when the Start/Stop occurs just after the clock edge (max error). To minimize this error on all clocks an independent prescaler is used for each timer and is designed so that its Start/Stop error is less than 1 clock cycle.
The count hold/gate bit in the Timer Control Register and the external enable pins, G0/G1, can be used to suspend the timer operation in modes 0, 1, and 2 (in mode 3 it is the trigger input). The external pin and the register bit are OR’ed
together, so that when either is high the timers are suspend­ed. Suspending the timer causes the same synchronization error that starting the timer does. The range of errors is specified in Table V.

MODES OF OPERATION
Bits M0 and M1 in the Timer Control Registers are used to specify the modes of operation. The mode selection is de­scribed in Table VI.

M1 M0 Function Modes
0 0 Single Pulse Generator Mode 0 0 1 Rate Generator, Pulse Output Mode 1 1 0 Square Wave Output Mode 2 1 1 Retriggerable One Shot Mode 3
MODE 0: SINGLE PULSE GENERATOR
When the timer is in this mode the output will be initially low if the Timer Start/Stop
bit is low (stopped). When this mode is initiated the timer output will go high on the next falling edge of the prescaler’s input clock, the contents
TL/F/8638– 9
FIGURE 7. DP8570A Timer Block Diagram

Page 14
Functional Description (Continued)
of the input data registers are loaded into the timer. The output will stay high until the counter reaches zero. At zero the output is reset. The result is an output pulse whose du­ration is equal to the input clock period times the count value (N) loaded into the input data register. This is shown in
Figure 8
.
Pulse Width

Clock PeriodcN
An interrupt is generated when the zero count is reached. This can be used for one-time interrupts that are set to oc­cur a certain amount of time in the future. In this mode the Timer Start/Stop
bit (TSS) is automatically reset upon zero detection. This removes the need to reset TSS before start­ing another operation.
The count down operation may be temporarily suspended either under software control by setting the Count Hold/ Gate bit in the timer register high, or in hardware by setting the G0 or G1 pin high.
The above discussion assumes that the timer outputs were programmed to be non-inverting outputs (active high). If the polarity of the output waveform is wrong for the application the polarity can be reversed by configuring the Output Mode Register. The drive configuration can also be programmed to be push pull or open drain.
MODE 1: RATE GENERATOR
When operating in this mode the timer will operate continu­ously. Before the timer is started its output is low. When the timer is started the input data register contents are loaded into the counter on the negative clock edge and the output is set high (again assuming the Output Mode Register is programmed active high). The timer will then count down to zero. Once the zero count is reached the output goes low
for one clock period of the timer clock. Then on the next clock the counter is reloaded automatically and the count­down repeats itself. The output, shown in
Figure 9
,isa waveform whose pulse width and period is determined by N, the input register value, and the input clock period:
Period
e(Na
1) (Clock Period)
Pulse WidtheClock Period
The G0 or G1 pin and the count hold/gate bit can be used to suspend the appropriate timer countdown when either is high. Again, the output polarity is controllable as in mode 0. If enabled, an interrupt is generated whenever the zero count is reached. This can be used to generate a periodic interrupt.
MODE 2: SQUARE WAVE GENERATOR
This mode is also cyclic but in this case a square wave rather than a pulse is generated. The output square wave period is determined by the value loaded into the timer input register. This period and the duty cycle are:
Period
e
2(Na1) (Clock Period) Duty Cyclee0.5
When the timer is stopped the output will be low, and when the Start/Stop
bit is set high the timer’s counter will be load­ed on the next clock falling transition and the output will be set high.
The output will be toggled after the zero count is detected and the counter will then be reloaded, and the cycle will continue. Thus, every N
a
1 counts the output gets toggled,
as shown in
Figure 10
. Like the other modes the timer oper­ation can be suspended either by software setting the count hold/gate bit (CHG) in the Timer Control Register or by us­ing the gate pins. An interrupt will be generated every falling edge of the timer output, if enabled.

MODE 3: RETRIGGERABLE ONE SHOT
bit is set the output stays inactive, and nothing happens until a positive tran­sition is received on the G1 or G0 pins, or the Count Hold/ Gate (CHG) bit is set in the timer control register. When a transition ocurs the one shot output is set active immediate­ly; the counter is loaded with the value in the input register on the next transition of the input clock and the countdown begins. If a retrigger occurs, regardless of the current coun­ter value, the counters will be reloaded with the value in the input register and the counter will be restarted without changing the output state. See
Figure 11
. A trigger count can occur at any time during the count cycle and can be a hardware or software signal (G0, G1 or CHG). In this mode the timer will output a single pulse whose width is deter­mined by the value in the input data register (N) and the input clock period.

The timer will generate an interrupt only when it reaches a count of zero. This timer mode is useful for continuous ‘‘watch dog’’ timing, line frequency power failure detection, etc.
READING THE TIMERS
National has discovered that some users may encounter unacceptable error rates for their applications when reading the timers on the fly asynchronously. When doing asynchro­nous reads of the timers, an error may occur. The error is that a successive read may be larger than the previous
read. Experimental results indicate that the typical error rate Is approximately one per 29,000 under the following condi­tions:
Timer clock frequency of 5 MHz.
Computer: 386/33 MHz PC/AT
Program: Microsoft ‘‘C’’ 6.0, reading and saving timer con-
tents in a continuous loop.
Those users who find the error rate unacceptable may re­duce the problem effectively to zero by employing a hard­ware work-around that synchronizes the writing of the read bit to the timer control register with respect to the decre­menting clock. Refer to
Figure 1
in Appendix A, for a sug-
gested hardware work-around.
A software work-around can reduce the errors but not as substantial as a hardware work-around. Software work­arounds are based on observations that the read following a bad read appeared to be valid.
Normally reading the timer data register addresses, 0FH and 10H for Timer 0 and 11H and 12H for Timer 1 will result in reading the input data register which contains the preset value for the timers.
To read the contents of a timer, the mP first sets the timer read bit in the appropriate Timer Control Register high. This will cause the counters contents to be latched to 2-bit – 8-bit output registers, and will enable these registers to be read if the mP reads the timers input data register addresses. On reading the LSB byte the timer read bit is internally reset and subsequent reads of the timer locations will return the input register values.
DETAILED REGISTER DESCRIPTION
There are 5 external address bits: Thus, the host microproc­essor has access to 32 locations at one time. An internal switching scheme provides a total of 67 locations.
This complete address space is organized into two pages. Page 0 contains two blocks of control registers, timers, real time clock counters, and special purpose RAM, while page 1 contains general purpose RAM. Using two blocks enables the 9 control registers to be mapped into 5 locations. The only register that does not get switched is the Main Status Register. It contains the page select bit and the register select bit as well as status information.
A memory map is shown in
Figure 2
and register addressing in Table VII. They show the name, address and page loca­tions for the DP8570A.

MAIN STATUS REGISTER
TL/F/8638– 14
The Main Status Register is always located at address 0 regardless of the register block or the page selected.
D0: This read only bit is a general interrupt status bit that is taken directly from the interrupt pins. The bit is a one when an interrupt is pending on either the INTR pin or the MFO pin (when configured as an interrupt). This is unlike D3 – D5 which can be set by an internal event but may not cause an interrupt. This bit is reset when the interrupt status bits in the Main Status Register are cleared.

Page 17
Functional Description (Continued)
TIMER 0 AND 1 CONTROL REGISTER
TL/F/8638– 15
These registers control the operation of the timers. Each timer has its own register.
D0: This bit will Start (1) or Stop (0) the timer. When the timer is stopped the timer’s prescaler and counter are reset, and the timer will restart from the beginning when started again. In mode 0 on time out the TSS bit is internally reset.
D1 and D2: These control the count mode of the timers. See Table VI.
D3–D5: These bits control which clock signal is applied to the timer’s counter input. There is one external clock input pin (TCK) and either (or both) timer(s) can be selected to run off this pin: refer to Table IV for details.
D6: This is the read bit. If a one is written into this location it will cause the contents of the timer to be latched into a holding register, which can be read by the mP at any time. Reading the least significant byte of the timer will reset the RD bit. The timer read cycle can be aborted by writing RD to zero.
D7: The CHG bit has two mode dependent functions. In modes 0 through 2 writing a one to this bit will suspend the timer operation (without resetting the timer prescaler). How­ever, in mode 3 this bit is used to trigger or re-trigger the count sequence as with the gate pins. If retriggering is de­sired using the CHG bit, it is not necessary to write a zero to this location prior to the re-trigger. The action of further writ­ing a one to this bit will re-trigger the count.
PERIODIC FLAG REGISTER
TL/F/8638– 16
The Periodic Flag Register has the same bit for bit corre­spondence as Interrupt Control Register 0 except for D6 and D7. For normal operation (i.e., not a single supply appli­cation) this register must be written to on initial power up or after an oscillator fail event. D0–D5 are read only bits, D6 and D7 are read/write.
e
1). The bits are reset when the register is
read and can be used as selective data change flags.
D6: This bit performs a dual function. When this bit is read, a one indicates that an oscillator failure has occurred and the time information may have been lost. Some of the ways an oscillator failure may be caused are: failure of the crystal; shorting OSC IN or OSC OUT to GND or V
CC
; removal of crystal; removal of battery when in the battery backed mode (when a ‘0’ is written to D6); lowering the voltage at the V
BB
pin to a value less than 2.2V when in the battery backed mode. Bit D6 is automatically set to 1 on initial power-up or an oscillator fail event. The oscillator fail flag is reset by writing a one to the clock start/stop
bit in the Real Time
Mode Register, with the crystal oscillating.
When D6 is written to, it defines whether the TCP is being used in battery backed (normal) or in a single supply mode application. When set to a one this bit configures the TCP for single power supply applications. This bit is automatically set on initial power-up or an oscillator fail event. When set, D6 disables the oscillator reference circuit. The result is that the oscillator is referenced to V
CC
. When a zero is written to D6 the oscillator reference is enabled, thus the oscillator is referenced to V
BB
. This allows operation in standard battery
standby applications.
At initial power on, if the DP8570A is going to be pro­grammed for battery backed mode, the V
BB
pin should be
connected to a potential in the range of 2.2V to V
CC
b
0.4V.
For single supply mode operation, the VBBpin should be connected to GND and the PFAIL
pin connected to VCC.
D7: Writing a one to this bit enables the test mode register at location 1F (see Table VII). This bit should be forced to zero during initialization for normal operation. If the test mode has been entered, clear the test mode register before leaving test mode. (See separate test mode application note for further details.)
INTERRUPT ROUTING REGISTER
TL/F/8638– 17
17
Page 18
Functional Description (Continued)
D5: The Delay Enable bit is used when a power fail occurs.
If this bit is set, a 480 ms delay is generated internally before the mP interface is locked out. This will enable the mPto access the registers for up to 480 ms after it receives a power fail interrupt. After a power failure is detected but prior to the 480 ms delay timing out, the host mP may force immediate lock out by resetting the Delay Enable bit. Note if this bit is a 0 when power fails then after a delay of 30 ms min/63 ms max the mP cannot read the chip.
D6: This read only bit is set and reset by the voltage at the V
BB
pin. It can be used by the mP to determine whether the
battery voltage at the V
BB
pin is getting too low. A compara-
tor monitors the battery and when the voltage is lower than
2.1V (typical) this bit is set. The power fail interrupt must be enabled to check for a low battery voltage.
This bit must be set to a one prior to power failing to enable the Time Save feature. When the power fails this bit is auto­matically reset and the time is saved in the Time Save RAM.
REAL TIME MODE REGISTER
TL/F/8638– 18
D0–D1: These are the leap year counter bits. These bits are written to set the number of years from the previous leap year. The leap year counter increments on December 31st and it internally enables the February 29th counter state. This method of setting the leap year allows leap year to occur whenever the user wishes to, thus providing flexibility in implementing Japanese leap year function.

D2: The count mode for the hours counter can be set to either 24 hour mode or 12 hour mode with AM/PM indicator. A one will place the clock in 12 hour mode.
D3: This bit is the master Start/Stop
bit for the clock. When a one is written to this bit the real time counter’s prescaler and counter chain are enabled. When this bit is reset to zero the contents of the real time counter is stopped and the prescaler is cleared. When the TCP is initially powered up this bit will be held at a logic 0 until the oscillator starts functioning correctly after which this bit may be modified. If an oscillator fail event occurs, this bit will be reset to logic 0.
D4: This bit controls the operation of the interrupt output in standby mode. If set to a one it allows Alarm, Periodic, and Power Fail interrupts to be functional in standby mode. Tim­er interrupts will also be functional provided that bit D5 is also set. Note that the MFO and INTR pins are configured as open drain in standby mode.

will have to be re-configured when system (V

D5: This bit controls the operation of the timers in standby mode. If set to a one the timers will continue to function when the TCP is in standby mode. The input pins TCK, G0, G1 are locked out in standby mode, and cannot be used.
Therefore external control of the timers is not possible in standby mode. Note also that MFO and T1 pins are auto­matically reconfigured open drain during standby.
D6 and D7: These two bits select the crystal clock frequen­cy as per the following table:
XT1 XT0
Crystal
Frequency
0 0 32.768 kHz 0 1 4.194304 MHz 1 0 4.9152 MHz 1 1 32.000 kHz
All bits are Read/Write, and any mode written into this regis­ter can be determined by reading the register. On initial power up these bits are random.

If battery backed mode is selected and the DP8570A is in standby (V
BB
l
VCC), then all bits are controlled by D4 of
the Real Time Mode Register.
D0–D5: These bits are used to enable one of the selected periodic interrupts by writing a one into the appropriate bit. These interrupts are issued at the rollover of the clock. For example, the minutes interrupt will be issued whenever the minutes counter increments. In all likelihood the interrupt will be enabled asynchronously with the real time change. Therefore, the very first interrupt will occur in less than the
periodic time chosen, but after the first interrupt all subse­quent interrupts will be spaced correctly. These interrupts are useful when minute, second, real time reading, or task switching is required. When all six bits are written to a 0 this disables periodic interrupts from the Main Status Register and the interrupt pin.
D6 and D7: These are individual timer enable bits. A one written to these bits enable the timers to generate interrupts to the mP.
INTERRUPT CONTROL REGISTER 1
TL/F/8638– 21
D6: In order to generate an external alarm compare inter­rupt to the mP from bit D3 of the Main Status Register, this bit must be written to a logic 1. If battery backed mode is selected and the DP8570A is in standby (V
BB
l
VCC), then
this bit is controlled by D4 of the Real Time Mode Register.
D7: The MSB of this register is the enable bit for the Power Fail Interrupt. When this bit is set to a one an interrupt will be generated to the mP when PFAIL
e
0. If battery backed mode is selected and the DP8570A is in standby (V
BB
l
VCC), then this bit is controlled by D4 of the Real
Time Mode Register.
This bit also enables the low battery detection analog cir­cuitry.
If the user wishes to mask the power fail interrupt, but utilize the analog circuitry, this bit should be enabled, and the Routing Register can be used to route the interrupt to the MFO pin. The MFO pin can then be left open or configured as the Timer 0 or buffered oscillator output.

Application Hints
Suggested Initialization Procedure for DP8570A in bat­tery backed applications that use the V
BB
pin
1. Enter the test mode by writinga1tobitD7inthePeriod­ic Flag Register.
2. Write zero to the RAM/TEST mode Register located in page 0, address HEX 1F.
3. Leave the test mode by writinga0tobitD7inthePeriod­ic Flag Register. Steps 1, 2, 3 guarantee that if the test mode had been entered during power on (due to random pulses from the system), all test mode conditions are cleared. Most important is that the OSC Fail Disable bit is cleared. Refer to AN-589 for more information on test mode operation.
4. After power on (V
CC
and VBBpowered), select the cor­rect crystal frequency bits (D7, D6 in the Real Time Mode Register) as shown in Table I.
TABLE I
Frequency D7 D6
32.768 kHz 0 0
4.194304 MHz 0 1
4.9152 MHz 1 0
32.0 kHz 1 1
5. Enter a software loop that does the following:
Set a 3 second (approx.) software counter. The crystal oscillator may take 1 second to start.
5.1 Writea1tobitD3intheReal Time Mode Register
(try to start the clock). Make sure the crystal select bits remain the same as in step 1. Under normal operation, this bit can be set only if the oscillator is
running. During the software loop, RAM, real time counters, output configuration, interrupt control and timer functions may be initialized.
6. Test bit D6 in the Periodic Flag Register:
IFa1, go to 5.1. If this bit remains a 1 after 3 seconds, then abort and check hardware. The crystal may be de­fective or not installed. There may be a short at OSC IN or OSC OUT to V
CC
or GND, or to some impedance that
is less than 10 MX.
IFa0, then the oscillator is running, go to step 7.
7. Writea0tobitD6inthePeriodic Flag Register. This action puts the clock chip in the battery backed mode. This mode can be entered only if the osc fail flag (bit D6 of the Periodic Flag Register) is a 0. Reminder, Bit D6 is a dual function bit. When read, D6 returns oscillator status. When written, D6 causes either the Battery Backed Mode, or the Single Supply Mode of operation.
The only method to ensure the chip is in the battery backed mode is to measure the waveform at the OSC OUT pin. If the battery backed mode was selected suc­cessfully, then the peak to peak waveform at OSC OUT is referenced to the battery voltage. If not in battery backed mode, the waveform is referenced to V
CC
. The measurement should be made with a high impedance low capacitance probe (10 MX, 10 pF oscilloscope probe or better). Typical peak to peak swings are within
0.6V of V
CC
and ground respectively.
8. Writea1tobitD7ofInterrupt Control Register 1. This action enables the PFAIL
pin and associated circuitry.
9. Writea1tobitD4oftheReal Time Mode Register. This action ensures that bit D7 of Interrupt Control Register 1 remains a 1 when V
BB
l
VCC(Standby Mode).
10. Initialize the rest of the chip as needed.
