Description
The ISL12029 device is a Real Time Clock with clock/calendar,
two polled alarms with integrated 512x8 EEPROM, oscillator
compensation, CPU Supervisor (Power-on Reset, Low Voltage
Sensing and Watchdog Timer) and battery backup switch.
The oscillator uses an external, low-cost 32.768kHz crystal.
All compensation and trim components are integrated on the
chip. This eliminates several external discrete components
and a trim capacitor, saving board area and component cost.
The Real-Time Clock keeps track of time with separate
registers for Hours, Minutes, Seconds. The Calendar has
separate registers for Date, Month, Year and Day-of-week.
The calendar is correct through 2099, with automatic leap
year correction.
The Dual Alarms can be set to any Clock/Calendar value for a
match. For instance, every minute, every Tuesday, or 5:23 AM
on March 21. The alarms can be polled in the Status Register
or can provide a hardware interrupt (IRQ
/F
Pin). There is a
OUT
repeat mode for the alarms allowing a periodic interrupt.
The IRQ
/F
pin may be software selected to provide a
OUT
frequency output of 1Hz, 4096Hz, or 32,768Hz or inactive.
The ISL12029 device integrates CPU Supervisory functions
(POR, WDT) and Battery Switch. There is Power-On-Reset

entire ISL12029 device is fully operational from 2.7 to 5.5V and
the clock/calendar portion of the ISL12029 device remains fully
operational down to 1.8V (Standby Mode).
The ISL12029 device provides 4K bits of EEPROM with 8
modes of BlockLock™ control. The BlockLock allows a safe,
secure memory for critical user and configuration data, while
allowing a large user storage area.

the frequency out control bits of the control/status register.
• Interrupt Mode. The pin provides an interrupt signal
output. This signal notifies a host processor that an alarm
has occurred and requests action. It is an open drain
active low output.
• Frequency Output Mode. The pin outputs a clock signal
which is related to the crystal frequency. The frequency
output is user selectable and enabled via the I

an open drain output.
The IRQ

resistor which was intended to be used for clocking
applications for microcontrollers. Choose the pullup resistor
with care, since low values will cause high currents to flow in
the V
and ground traces around the device which can

contribute to faulty oscillator function. For a 32kHz output,
values up to 10kΩ can be used with some degradation of the
square waveform.

The RESET signal output can be used to notify a host
processor that the watchdog timer has expired or the VDD

an open drain, active LOW output. Recommended value for
the pullup resistor is 10kΩ. If unused it can be tied to ground.
X1, X2
The X1 and X2 pins are the input and output, respectively, of
an inverting amplifier. An external 32.768kHz quartz crystal is
used with the ISL12029 to supply a timebase for the real time
clock. Internal compensation circuitry provides high accuracy
over the operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
This oscillator compensation network can be used to calibrate
the crystal timing accuracy over temperature either during
manufacturing or with an external temperature sensor and
microcontroller for active compensation. X2 is intended to
drive a crystal only, and should not drive any external circuit.

Real Time Clock Operation
The Real Time Clock (RTC) uses an external 32.768kHz
quartz crystal to maintain an accurate internal representation
of the second, minute, hour, day, date, month, and year. The
RTC has leap-year correction. The clock also corrects for
months having fewer than 31 days and has a bit that controls
24 hour or AM/PM format. When the ISL12029 powers up
after the loss of both V
operate until at least one byte is written to the clock register.
Reading the Real Time Clock
The RTC is read by initiating a Read command and
specifying the address corresponding to the register of the
Real Time Clock. The RTC Registers can then be read in a
Sequential Read Mode. Since the clock runs continuously
and read takes a finite amount of time, there is a possibility
that the clock could change during the course of a read
operation. In this device, the time is latched by the read
command (falling edge of the clock on the ACK bit prior to
RTC data output) into a separate latch to avoid time changes
during the read operation. The clock continuoes to run.
Alarms occuring during a read are unaffected by the read
operation.
Writing to the Real Time Clock
The time and date may be set by writing to the RTC
registers. RTC Register should be written ONLY with Page
Write. To avoid changing the current time by an uncompleted
write operation, write to the all 8 bytes in one write
operation. When writing the RTC registers, the new time
value is loaded into a separate buffer at the falling edge of
the clock during the Acknowledge. This new RTC value is
loaded into the RTC Register by a stop bit at the end of a
valid write sequence. An invalid write operation aborts the
time update procedure and the contents of the buffer are
discarded. After a valid write operation the RTC will reflect
the newly loaded data beginning with the next “one second”
clock cycle after the stop bit is written. The RTC continues to
update the time while an RTC register write is in progress
and the RTC continues to run during any nonvolatile write
sequences.

BAT
Accuracy of the Real Time Clock
The accuracy of the Real Time Clock depends on the
accuracy of the quartz crystal that is used as the time base
for the RTC. Since the resonant frequency of a crystal is
temperature dependent, the RTC performance will also be
dependent upon temperature. The frequency deviation of
the crystal is a function of the turnover temperature of the
crystal from the crystal’s nominal frequency. For example, a
>20ppm frequency deviation translates into an accuracy of
>1 minute per month. These parameters are available from
the crystal manufacturer. Intersil’s RTC family provides onchip crystal compensation networks to adjust loadcapacitance to tune oscillator frequency from -34ppm to
+80ppm when using a 12.5pF load crystal. For more detailed
information see the Application section.
Clock/Control Registers (CCR)
The Control/Clock Registers are located in an area separate
from the EEPROM array and are only accessible following a
slave byte of “1101111x” and reads or writes to addresses
[0000h:003Fh]. The clock/control memory map has memory
addresses from 0000h to 003Fh. The defined addresses are
described in Table 2. Writing to and reading from the
undefined addresses are not recommended.
CCR Access
The contents of the CCR can be modified by performing a
byte or a page write operation directly to any address in the
CCR. Prior to writing to the CCR (except the status register),
however, the WEL and RWEL bits must be set using a three
step process (See section “Writing to the Clock/Control
Registers.”)
The CCR is divided into 5 sections. These are:
1. Alarm 0 (8 bytes; non-volatile)
2. Alarm 1 (8 bytes; non-volatile)
3. Control (5 bytes; non-volatile)
4. Real Time Clock (8 bytes; volatile)
5. Status (1 byte; volatile)
Each register is read and written through buffers. The nonvolatile portion (or the counter portion of the RTC) is updated
only if RWEL is set and only after a valid write operation and
stop bit. A sequential read or page write operation provides
access to the contents of only one section of the CCR per
operation. Access to another section requires a new
operation. A read or write can begin at any address in the
CCR.
It is not necessary to set the RWEL bit prior to writing the
status register. Section 5 (status register) supports a single
byte read or write only. Continued reads or writes from this
section terminates the operation.
The state of the CCR can be read by performing a random
read at any address in the CCR at any time. This returns the
contents of that register location. Additional registers are
9

read by performing a sequential read. The read instruction
latches all Clock registers into a buffer, so an update of the
clock does not change the time being read. A sequential
read of the CCR will not result in the output of data from the
memory array. At the end of a read, the master supplies a
stop condition to end the operation and free the bus. After a
read of the CCR, the address remains at the previous
address +1 so the user can execute a current address read
of the CCR and continue reading the next Register.
Real Time Clock Registers (Volatile)
SC, MN, HR, DT, MO, YR: Clock/Calendar Registers
These registers depict BCD representations of the time. As
such, SC (Seconds) and MN (Minutes) range from 00 to 59,
HR (Hour) is 1 to 12 with an AM or PM indicator (H21 bit) or
0 to 23 (with MIL = 1), DT (Date) is 1 to 31, MO (Month) is 1
to 12, YR (Year) is 0 to 99.
DW: Date of the Week Register
This register provides a Day of the Week status and uses
three bits DY2 to DY0 to represent the seven days of the
week. The counter advances in the cycle 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0-12-… The assignment of a numerical value to a specific day
of the week is arbitrary and may be decided by the system
software designer. The default value is defined as ‘0’.
Y2K: Year 2000 Register
Can have value 19 or 20. As of the date of the introduction of
this device, there would be no real use for the value 19 in a
true real time clock, however.
24 Hour Time
If the MIL bit of the HR register is 1, the RTC uses a 24-hour
format. If the MIL bit is 0, the RTC uses a 12-hour format and
H21 bit functions as an AM/PM indicator with a ‘1’,
representing PM. The clock defaults to standard time with
H21 = 0.
Leap Years
Leap years add the day February 29 and are defined as
those years that are divisible by 4.
Status Register (SR) (Volatile)
The Status Register is located in the CCR memory map at
address 003Fh. This is a volatile register only and is used to
control the WEL and RWEL write enable latches, read power
status and two alarm bits. This register is separate from both
the array and the Clock/Control Registers (CCR).

BAT: Battery Supply
This bit set to “1” indicates that the device is operating from
V

BAT
hardware (ISL12029 internally). Once the device begins
operating from V
, the device sets this bit to “0”.
DD
AL1, AL0: Alarm Bits
These bits announce if either alarm 0 or alarm 1 match the
real time clock. If there is a match, the respective bit is set to
‘1’. The falling edge of the last data bit in a SR Read
operation resets the flags. Note: Only the AL bits that are set
when an SR read starts will be reset. An alarm bit that is set
by an alarm occurring during an SR read operation will
remain set after the read operation is complete.
OSCF: Oscillator Fail Indicator
This bit is set to “1” if the oscillator is not operating. The bit is
set to “0” only if the oscillator is functioning. This bit is read
only, and is set /reset by hardware.
RWEL: Register Write Enable Latch
This bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the LOW
(disabled) state. The RWEL bit must be set to “1” prior to any
writes to the Clock/Control Registers. Writes to RWEL bit do
not cause a nonvolatile write cycle, so the device is ready for
the next operation immediately after the stop condition. A
write to the CCR requires both the RWEL and WEL bits to be
set in a specific sequence.
WEL: Write Enable Latch
The WEL bit controls the access to the CCR during a write
operation. This bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the
LOW (disabled) state. While the WEL bit is LOW, writes to
the CCR address will be ignored, although acknowledgment
is still issued. The WEL bit is set by writing a “1” to the WEL
bit and zeroes to the other bits of the Status Register. Once
set, WEL remains set until either reset to 0 (by writing a “0”
to the WEL bit and zeroes to the other bits of the Status
Register) or until the part powers up again. Writes to WEL bit
do not cause a nonvolatile write cycle, so the device is ready
for the next operation immediately after the stop condition.
RTCF: Real Time Clock Fail Bit
This bit is set to a ‘1’ after a total power failure. This is a
read only bit that is set internally when the device powers

The alarm register bytes are set up identical to the RTC
register bytes, except that the MSB of each byte functions as
an enable bit (enable = “1”). These enable bits specify which
alarm registers (seconds, minutes, etc.) are used to make
the comparison. Note that there is no alarm byte for year.
The alarm function works as a comparison between the
alarm registers and the RTC registers. As the RTC
advances, the alarm will be triggered once a match occurs
between the alarm registers and the RTC registers. Any one

Oscillator Compensation Registers
There are two trimming options.
- ATR. Analog Trimming Register

These registers are non-volatile. The combination of analog
and digital trimming can give up to -64 to +110 ppm of total
adjustment.

ATR0: Analog Trimming Register
Six analog trimming bits, ATR0 to ATR5, are provided in
order to adjust the on-chip load capacitance value for
frequency compensation of the RTC. Each bit has a different
weight for capacitance adjustment. For example, using a
Citizen CFS-206 crystal with different ATR bit combinations
provides an estimated ppm adjustment range from -34 to
+80ppm to the nominal frequency compensation.

Device Operation
Writing to the Clock/Control Registers
Changing any of the bits of the clock/control registers
requires the following steps:
1. Write a 02h to the Status Register to set the Write Enable
Latch (WEL). This is a volatile operation, so there is no
delay after the write. (Operation preceded by a start and
ended with a stop).
2. Write a 06h to the Status Register to set both the Register
Write Enable Latch (RWEL) and the WEL bit. This is also
a volatile cycle. The zeros in the data byte are required.
(Operation proceeded by a start and ended with a stop).
Write all eight bytes to the RTC registers, or one byte to the
SR, or one to five bytes to the control registers. This
sequence starts with a start bit, requires a slave byte of
“11011110” and an address within the CCR and is terminated
by a stop bit. A write to the EEPROM registers in the CCR
will initiate a nonvolatile write cycle and will take up to 20ms
to complete. A write to the RTC registers (SRAM) will require
much shorter cycle time (t = t
have no effect. The RWEL bit is reset by the completion of a
write to the CCR, so the sequence must be repeated to
again initiate another change to the CCR contents. If the
sequence is not completed for any reason (by sending an
incorrect number of bits or sending a start instead of a stop,
for example) the RWEL bit is not reset and the device
remains in an active mode. Writing all zeros to the status
register resets both the WEL and RWEL bits. A read
operation occurring between any of the previous operations
will not interrupt the register write operation.
Alarm Operation
Since the alarm works as a comparison between the alarm
registers and the RTC registers, it is ideal for notifying a host
processor of a particular time event and trigger some action
as a result. The host can be notified by either a hardware
interrupt (the IRQ
(SR) Alarm bits. These two volatile bits (AL1 for Alarm 1 and

pin) or by polling the Status Register

AL0 for Alarm 0), indicate if an alarm has happened. The bits
are set on an alarm condition regardless of whether the IRQ
F
interrupt is enabled. The AL1 and AL0 bits in the status
OUT
register are reset by the falling edge of the eighth clock of
status register read.
There are two alarm operation modes: Single Event and
periodic Interrupt Mode:
1. Single Event Mode is enabled by setting the AL0E or
AL1E bit to “1”, the IM bit to “0”, and disabling the
frequency output. This mode permits a one-time match
between the alarm registers and the RTC registers. Once
this match occurs, the AL0 or AL1 bit is set to “1” and the
IRQ/
F
output will be pulled low and will remain low
OUT
until the AL0 or AL1 bit is read, which will automatically
resets it. Both Alarm registers can be set at the same time
F
to trigger alarms. TheIRQ/
output will be set by
OUT
either alarm, and will need to be cleared to enable
triggering by a subsequent alarm. Polling the SR will
reveal which alarm has been set.
2. Interrupt Mode (or “Pulsed Interrupt Mode” or PIM) is
enabled by setting the AL0E or AL1E bit to “1” the IM bit
to “1”, and disabling the frequency output. If both AL0E
and AL1E bits are set to 1, then only the AL0E PIM alarm
F
will function (AL0E overrides AL1E). The IRQ/
OUT
output will now be pulsed each time an alarm occurs. This
means that once the interrupt mode alarm is set, it will
continue to alarm for each occurring match of the alarm
and present time. This mode is convenient for hourly or
daily hardware interrupts in microcontroller applications
such as security cameras or utility meter reading.
Interrupt Mode CANNOT be used for general periodic
alarms, however, since a specific time period cannot be
programmed for interrupt, only matches to a specific time
of day. The interrupt mode is only stopped by disabling
the IM bit or the Alarm Enable bits.
Power Control Operation
The power control circuit accepts a VDD and a V
Many types of batteries can be used with Intersil RTC

Power-on Reset
Application of power to the ISL12029 activates a Power-on
Reset Circuit that pulls the RESET
pin active. This signal
provides several benefits.
- It prevents the system microprocessor from starting to
operate with insufficient voltage.
- It prevents the processor from operating prior to
stabilization of the oscillator.
- It allows time for an FPGA to download its configuration
prior to initialization of the circuit.
- It prevents communication to the EEPROM, greatly
reducing the likelihood of data corruption on power up.
When VDD exceeds the device V

Watchdog Timer Operation
The watchdog timer timeout period is selectable. By writing a
value to WD1 and WD0, the watchdog timer can be set to 3
different time out periods or off. When the Watchdog timer is
set to off, the watchdog circuit is configured for low power
operation (See Table 7).

When the LVR signal is active, unless the part has been

, the completion of an in-
progress nonvolatile write cycle is unaffected, allowing a

terminate any in-progress communications to the device and
prevents new commands from disrupting any current write
operations. See “I

C Communications During Battery backup
and LVR Operation”.
Serial Communication
The device supports the I2C bidirectional serial bus protocol.
CLOCK AND DATA
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL
LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are reserved for
indicating start and stop conditions. See Figure 16.
START CONDITION
All commands are preceded by the start condition, which is a
HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The
device continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the
start condition and will not respond to any command until
this condition has been met. See Figure 17.
STOP CONDITION
All communications must be terminated by a stop condition,
which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The stop condition is also used to place the device
into the Standby power mode after a read sequence. A stop
condition can only be issued after the transmitting device
has released the bus. See Figure 17.
ACKNOWLEDGE
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfer. The transmitting device, either
master or slave, will release the bus after transmitting eight
bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the receiver will pull the
SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received the eight bits of
data. Refer to Figure 18.
The device will respond with an acknowledge after
recognition of a start condition and if the correct Device
Identifier and Select bits are contained in the Slave Address
Byte. If a write operation is selected, the device will respond
with an acknowledge after the receipt of each subsequent
eight bit word. The device will not acknowledge if the slave
address byte is incorrect.
In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of data,
release the SDA line, then monitor the line for an
acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no stop
condition is generated by the master, the device will continue
to transmit data. The device will terminate further data
transmissions if an acknowledge is not detected. The master
must then issue a stop condition to return the device to
Standby mode and place the device into a known state.

Device Addressing
Following a start condition, the master must output a Slave
Address Byte. The first four bits of the Slave Address Byte
specify access to either the EEPROM array or to the CCR.
Slave bits ‘1010’ access the EEPROM array. Slave bits
‘1101’ access the CCR.
When shipped from the factory, EEPROM array is
UNDEFINED, and should be programmed by the customer
to a known state.
Bit 3 through Bit 1 of the slave byte specify the device select
bits. These are set to ‘111’.
The last bit of the Slave Address Byte defines the operation
to be performed. When this R/W
operation is selected. A zero selects a write operation. Refer
to Figure 19.
After loading the entire Slave Address Byte from the SDA
bus, the ISL12029 compares the device identifier and device

select bits with ‘1010111’ or ‘1101111’. Upon a correct
compare, the device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA
line.
Following the Slave Byte is a two byte word address. The
word address is either supplied by the master device or
obtained from an internal counter. On power up the internal
address counter is set to address 0h, so a current address
read of the EEPROM array starts at address 0. When
required, as part of a random read, the master must supply
the 2 Word Address Bytes as shown in Figure 19.
In a random read operation, the slave byte in the “dummy
write” portion must match the slave byte in the “read”
section. That is if the random read is from the array the slave
byte must be 1010111x in both instances. Similarly, for a
random read of the Clock/Control Registers, the slave byte
must be 1101111x in both places.

Write Operations
BYTE WRITE
For a write operation, the device requires the Slave Address
Byte and the Word Address Bytes. This gives the master
access to any one of the words in the array or CCR. (Note:
Prior to writing to the CCR, the master must write a 02h, then
06h to the status register in two preceding operations to
enable the write operation. See “Writing to the Clock/Control
Registers.”) Upon receipt of each address byte, the
ISL12029 responds with an acknowledge. After receiving
both address bytes the ISL12029 awaits the eight bits of
data. After receiving the 8 data bits, the ISL12029 again
responds with an acknowledge. The master then terminates
the transfer by generating a stop condition. The ISL12029
then begins an internal write cycle of the data to the
nonvolatile memory. During the internal write cycle, the
device inputs are disabled, so the device will not respond to
any requests from the master. The SDA output is at high
impedance. See Figure 20.
A write to a protected block of memory is ignored, but will still
receive an acknowledge. At the end of the write command,
the ISL12029 will not initiate an internal write cycle, and will
continue to ACK commands.
PAGE WRITE
The ISL12029 has a page write operation. It is initiated in the
same manner as the byte write operation; but instead of
terminating the write cycle after the first data byte is
transferred, the master can transmit up to 15 more bytes to
the memory array and up to 7 more bytes to the clock/control
registers. The RTC registers require a page write (8 bytes),
individual register writes are not allowed. (Note: Prior to
writing to the CCR, the master must write a 02h, then 06h to
the status register in two preceding operations to enable the
write operation. See “Writing to the Clock/Control
Registers.”)
After the receipt of each byte, the ISL12029 responds with
an acknowledge, and the address is internally incremented
by one. The address pointer remains at the last address byte
written. When the counter reaches the end of the page, it
“rolls over” and goes back to the first address on the same
page. This means that the master can write 16 bytes to a
memory array page or 8 bytes to a CCR section starting at
any location on that page. For example, if the master begins
writing at location 10 of the memory and loads 15 bytes, then
the first 6 bytes are written to addresses 10 through 15, and
the last 6 bytes are written to columns 0 through 5.
Afterwards, the address counter would point to location 6 on
the page that was just written. If the master supplies more
than the maximum bytes in a page, then the previously
loaded data is over-written by the new data, one byte at a
time. Refer to Figure 21.The master terminates the Data
Byte loading by issuing a stop condition, which causes the
ISL12029 to begin the nonvolatile write cycle. As with the
byte write operation, all inputs are disabled until completion
of the internal write cycle. Refer to Figure 22 for the address,
acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.
STOPS AND WRITE MODES
Stop conditions that terminate write operations must be sent
by the master after sending at least 1 full data byte and it’s
associated ACK signal. If a stop is issued in the middle of a
data byte, or before 1 full data byte + ACK is sent, then the
ISL12029 resets itself without performing the write. The
contents of the array are not affected.

ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING
Disabling of the inputs during nonvolatile write cycles can be
used to take advantage of the typical 5ms write cycle time.
Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the
master’s byte load operation, the ISL12029 initiates the
internal nonvolatile write cycle. Acknowledge polling can
begin immediately. To do this, the master issues a start
condition followed by the Memory Array Slave Address Byte
for a write or read operation (AEh or AFh). If the ISL12029 is
still busy with the nonvolatile write cycle then no ACK will be
returned. When the ISL12029 has completed the write
operation, an ACK is returned and the host can proceed with
the read or write operation. Refer to the flow chart in
Figure 24. Note: Do not use the CCR Slave byte (DEh or
DFh) for Acknowledge Polling.

READ OPERATIONS
There are three basic read operations: Current Address
Read, Random Read, and Sequential Read.
Current Address Read
Internally the ISL12029 contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word read incremented by
one. Therefore, if the last read was to address n, the next
read operation would access data from address n+1. On
power up, the sixteen bit address is initialized to 0h. In this
way, a current address read immediately after the power-on
reset can download the entire contents of memory starting at
the first location.Upon receipt of the Slave Address Byte with
the R/W
acknowledge, then transmits eight data bits. The master
terminates the read operation by not responding with an
acknowledge during the ninth clock and issuing a stop
condition. Refer to Figure 23 for the address, acknowledge,
and data transfer sequence.

FIGURE 24. ACKNOWLEDGE POLLING SEQUENCE
Byte with the R/W
bit set to zero, the master must first
perform a “dummy” write operation.
The master issues the start condition and the slave address
byte, receives an acknowledge, then issues the word
address bytes. After acknowledging receipt of each word
address byte, the master immediately issues another start
condition and the slave address byte with the R/W
bit set to
one. This is followed by an acknowledge from the device and
then by the eight bit data word. The master terminates the
read operation by not responding with an acknowledge and
then issuing a stop condition. Refer to Figure 25 for the
address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.
In a similar operation called “Set Current Address,” the
device sets the address if a stop is issued instead of the
second start shown in Figure 25. The ISL12029 then goes
into standby mode after the stop and all bus activity will be
ignored until a start is detected. This operation loads the new
address into the address counter. The next Current Address
Read operation will read from the newly loaded address.
This operation could be useful if the master knows the next
address it needs to read, but is not ready for the data.
SEQUENTIAL READ
Sequential reads can be initiated as either a current address
read or random address read. The first data byte is
transmitted as with the other modes; however, the master
now responds with an acknowledge, indicating it requires
additional data. The device continues to output data for each
acknowledge received. The master terminates the read
operation by not responding with an acknowledge and then
issuing a stop condition.
It should be noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read
operation is not a “don’t care.” To terminate a read operation,
the master must either issue a stop condition during the
ninth cycle or hold SDA HIGH during the ninth clock cycle
and then issue a stop condition.
RANDOM READ
Random read operations allow the master to access any
location in the ISL12029. Prior to issuing the Slave Address

address space the counter “rolls over” to the start of the
address space and the ISL12029 continues to output data
for each acknowledge received. Refer to Figure 26 for the

Crystal Oscillator and Temperature Compensation
Intersil has now integrated the oscillator compensation
circuity on-chip, to eliminate the need for external
components and adjust for crystal drift over temperature and
enable very high accuracy time keeping (<5ppm drift).
The Intersil RTC family uses an oscillator circuit with on-chip
crystal compensation network, including adjustable loadcapacitance. The only external component required is the
crystal. The compensation network is optimized for operation
with certain crystal parameters which are common in many
of the surface mount or tuning-fork crystals available today.
Table 8 summarizes these parameters.
Table 9 contains some crystal manufacturers and part
numbers that meet the requirements for the Intersil RTC
products.
The turnover temperature in Table 8 describes the
temperature where the apex of the of the drift vs.
temperature curve occurs. This curve is parabolic with the
drift increasing as (T-T0)
example, the turnover temperature is typically 25°C, and a
peak drift of >110ppm occurs at the temperature extremes of
2

-40 and +85°C. It is possible to address this variable drift by
adjusting the load capacitance of the crystal, which will result
in predictable change to the crystal frequency. The Intersil
RTC family allows this adjustment over temperature since
the devices include on-chip load capacitor trimming. This
control is handled by the Analog Trimming Register, or ATR,
which has 6 bits of control. The load capacitance range
covered by the ATR circuit is approximately 3.25pF to
18.75pF, in 0.25pF increments. Note that actual capacitance
would also include about 2pF of package related
capacitance. In-circuit tests with commercially available
crystals demonstrate that this range of capacitance allows
frequency control from +116ppm to -37ppm, using a 12.5pF
load crystal.
In addition to the analog compensation afforded by the
adjustable load capacitance, a digital compensation feature
is available for the Intersil RTC family. There are three bits
known as the Digital Trimming Register or DTR, and they
operate by adding or skipping pulses in the clock signal. The
range provided is ±30ppm in increments of 10ppm. The
default setting is 0ppm. The DTR control can be used for
coarse adjustments of frequency drift over temperature or for
crystal initial accuracy correction.

A final application for the ATR control is in-circuit calibration
for high accuracy applications, along with a temperature
sensor chip. Once the RTC circuit is powered up with battery
backup, the IRQ

output is set at 32.768kHz and
OUT
frequency drift is measured. The ATR control is then
adjusted to a setting which minimizes drift. Once adjusted at
a particular temperature, it is possible to adjust at other
discrete temperatures for minimal overall drift, and store the
resulting settings in the EEPROM. Extremely low overall
temperature drift is possible with this method. The Intersil
evaluation board contains the circuitry necessary to
implement this control.
For more detailed operation see Intersil’s application note
AN154 on Intersil’s website at www.intersil.com.
Layout Considerations
The crystal input at X1 has a very high impedance and will
pick up high frequency signals from other circuits on the
board. Since the X2 pin is tied to the other side of the crystal,
it is also a sensitive node. These signals can couple into the
oscillator circuit and produce double clocking or misclocking, seriously affecting the accuracy of the RTC. Care
needs to be taken in layout of the RTC circuit to avoid noise
pickup. Figure 27 shows a suggested layout for the
ISL12029 or ISL12028 devices.
C1
0.1µF
The X1 and X2 connections to the crystal are to be kept as
short as possible. A thick ground trace around the crystal is
advised to minimize noise intrusion, but ground near the X1
and X2 pins should be avoided as it will add to the load
capacitance at those pins. Keep in mind these guidelines for
other PCB layers in the vicinity of the RTC device. A small
decoupling capacitor at the V
pin of the chip is mandatory,
DD
with a solid connection to ground.
For other RTC products, the same rules stated above should
be observed, but adjusted slightly since the packages and
pinouts are slightly different.
Oscillator Measurements
When a proper crystal is selected and the layout guidelines
above are observed, the oscillator should start up in most
circuits in less than one second. Some circuits may take slightly
longer, but startup should definitely occur in less than 5
seconds. When testing RTC circuits, the most common impulse
is to apply a scope probe to the circuit at the X2 pin (oscillator
output) and observe the waveform. DO NOT DO THIS!
Although in some cases you may see a usable waveform, due
to the parasitics (usually 10pF to ground) applied with the
scope probe, there will be no useful information in that
waveform other than the fact that the circuit is oscillating. The
X2 output is sensitive to capacitive impedance so the voltage
levels and the frequency will be affected by the parasitic
elements in the scope probe. Applying a scope probe can
possibly cause a faulty oscillator to start up, hiding other issues
(although in the Intersil RTCs, the internal circuitry assures
startup when using the proper crystal and layout).

The best way to analyze the RTC circuit is to power it up and
read the real time clock as time advances, or if the chip has
the IRQ
/F
output, look at the output of that pin on an
OUT
oscilloscope (after enabling it with the control register, and
using a pull-up resistor for the open-drain output).
Alternatively, the ISL12029 IRQ

checked by setting an alarm for each minute. Using the
pulse interrupt mode setting, the once-per-minute interrupt
functions as an indication of proper oscillation.

Backup Battery Operation
Many types of batteries can be used with the Intersil RTC
products. 3.0V or 3.6V Lithium batteries are appropriate, and
sizes are available that can power a Intersil RTC device for up
to 10 years. Another option is to use a supercapacitor for
applications where V

used, backup time can last from a few days to two weeks (with
>1F). A simple silicon or Schottky barrier diode can be used in
series with V

charge a battery (especially lithium batteries!).
There are two possible modes for battery backup operation,
Standard and Legacy mode. In Standard mode, there are no
operational concerns when switching over to battery backup
since all other devices functions are disabled. Battery drain
is minimal in Standard mode, and return to Normal V

I2C Communications During Battery Backup and
LVR Operation
Operation in Battery Backup mode and LVR is affected by
the BSW and SBIB bits as described earlier. These bits allow
flexible operation of the serial bus and EEPROM in battery
backup mode, but certain operational details need to be
clear before utilizing the different modes. The most
significant detail is that once VDD goes below VRESET, then

C communications cease regardless of whether the device
is programmed for I
Table 10 describes 4 different modes possible with using the
BSW and SBIB bits, and how they are affect LVR and battery
backup operation.
• Mode A - In this mode selection bits indicate a low VDD
switchover combined with I
