RAM is a low power
Serial TIMEKEEPER with a built-in 32.768kHz os cillator (external crystal controlled). Eight bytes of
the RAM are u sed for the clock/calenda r function
and are configured in binary coded decimal (BCD)
format. Addresses and data are transferred serially via a two-line bi-directional bus. The bu ilt-in address register is incremented automatically after
each write or read data byte.

The M41T00 clock has a built-in power sense circuit which detects power failures and automatically switches to the battery supply during power
failures. The energy needed to sustain the RAM
and clock operations can be supplied from a small
lithium co in cell.
Typical data retention time is in excess of 5years
with a 50mA/h 3V lithium cell. The M41T00 is supplied in 8 lead Plastic Small Outline package.
OPERATION
The M41T00 clock operates as a slave device on
the serial bus. Access is obtained by implementing
a start condition followed by the correct slave address (D0h). The 8 bytes contained in the device
can then be accessed sequentially in the following
order:

2-WIRE BUS CHARACTERISTICS
This bus is intended for communication between
different ICs. It consists of two lines: one bi-directional for data signals (SDA) and one for clock signals (SCL). Both the SDA and the SCL lines must
be connected to a positive supply voltage via a
pull-up resistor.
The following protocol has been defined:
– Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
– During data trans fer, the dat a line mus t remain
stable whenever the clock line is High. Changes
in the data line while the clock line is High will be
interpreted as control signals.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have
been defined:
Bus not busy. Both data and clock lines remain
High.
Start data transfer. A change in the state of t he
data line, from High to Low, while the clock is High,
defines the START condition.
Stop data transfer. A change in the state of the
data line, from Low to High, while the clock is High,
defines the STOP condition.

Data valid. The state of the data line represents
valid data when after a start condition, the data line
is stable for the duration of the High period of the
clock signal. The data on the line may be changed
during the Low period of the clock signal. There is
one clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a start condition
and terminated with a stop condition. The number
of data bytes transferred between the start and
stop conditions is not limited. The information is
transmitted byte-wide and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth bit.
By definition, a device that gives out a message is
called "transmitter", the receiving de vice t hat g ets
the message is called "rece iver". The device that
controls the message is called "master". The devices that are controlled by the master are cal led
"sla ve s".

Acknowledge. Each byte of eight bits is followed
by one acknowledge bit. This acknowledge bit is a
low level put on the bus b y the receiver, whereas
the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse.
A slave receiver which is addressed is obliged to
generate an acknowledge after the reception of
each byte. Also, a master receiver must generate
an acknowledge a fter the reception of e ach byte
that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down
the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse
in such a way that the SDA line is a stable Low during the High period of the acknowledge related
clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold times must
be taken into account. A master receiver must signal an end-of-data to the slave transm itter by not
generating an acknowledge on t he last byte that
has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the
transmitter must leave the data line High to enable
the master to generate the STOP condition.

CLOCK OPERATION
The eight byte clock register (see Table 3) is used
to both set the clock and to read the date and time
from the clock, in a binary coded decimal form at.
Seconds, Minutes, and Hours are contained within
the first three registers. Bits D6 and D7 of clock
register 2 (Hours Register) contain the CENTURY
ENABLE Bit (CEB) and the CENTURY Bit (CB).
Setting CEB to a ’1’ will cause CB to toggle, either
from ’0’ to ’1’ or from ’1’ to ’0’ at the turn of the century (depending upon its initial state). If CEB is set
to a ’0’, CB will not toggle. Bits D0 through D2 of
register 3 contain the Day (day of week). Registers
4, 5 and 6 contain the Date (day of month), Month
and Years. The final register is the Control Register (this is described in the Clock Calibration section). Bit D7 of register 0 contains the STOP Bit
(ST). Setting this bit to a ’1’ will cause the oscillator

to stop. If the device is expected to spend a significant amount of time on the shelf, the oscillator
may be stopped to reduce current drain. When reset to a ’0’ the oscillator restarts within one second.
The seven Clock Registers may be read one byte
at a time, or in a sequential block. The Control
Register (Address location 7) may be accessed independently. Provision has been made to assure
that a clock update does not occur while any of the
seven clock addresses are being read. If a clock
address is being read, an update of the clock registers will be delayed by 250ms to allow the read
to be completed before the update occurs. This
will prevent a tran s it ion of dat a d ur ing t he re ad .
Note: This 250ms delay affects only the clock register update and does not alter the actual clock
time.

CLOCK CALIBRATION
The M41T00 is driven by a quartz controlled oscillator with a nominal frequency of 32,768Hz. The
devices are tested not to exceed 35ppm (parts per
million) oscillator frequency error at 25°C , which
equates to about ±1.53 m inutes per month. With
the calibration bits properly set, the accuracy of
each M41T00 im proves to better than +2/–1 ppm
at 25°C.
The oscillation rate of any crystal changes with
temperature (see Figure 14). Most clock chips

tSU:DAT
tHD:DAT
SR

compensate for crystal frequency and temperature shift error with cumbersome trim capacitors.
The M41T00 design, however, employs periodic
counter correction. The calibration c ircuit adds or
subtracts counts from the o scillator divider circuit
at the divide by 256 stage, as shown in Figure 13.
The number of times pulses are blanked (subtracted, negative calibration) or split (added, positive
calibration) depends upon the value loaded into
the five bit Calibration byte found in the Control
Register. Adding counts speeds the clock up, subtracting counts slows the clock down.
The Calibration byte occupies the five lower order
bits (D4-D0) in the Control register (Addr 7). This
byte can be set to represent any value between 0
and 31 in binary form. Bit D5 is a Sign bit; '1' indicates positive calibration, '0' indicates negative
calibration. Calibration occurs within a 64minute
cycle. The first 62 m inutes i n t he c ycle m ay , onc e
per minute, have one second either shortened by
128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a binary '1' is loaded into the register, only the first 2
minutes in the 64 minute cycle will be modified; if
a binary 6 is loaded, t he first 12 will be affected,
and so on.
Therefore, each cal ibration step has the effect of
adding 512 or subtracting 256 oscillator cycles for
every 125,829,120 actual oscillator cycles, that is
+4.068 or –2.034 ppm of adjustment per calibration step in the cal ibration registe r. Ass um ing that
the oscillator is in fact running at exactly 32,768Hz,
each of the 31 in crements in the Calibration b yte
would represent +10.7 or –5.35 seconds per
month which corresponds to a total range of +5.5
or –2.75 minutes per month.

Two methods are available for ascertaining how
much calibration a given M41T00 may require.
The first involves simply setting the clock, letting it
run for a month and comparing it to a known accurate reference (like WWV broadcasts). While that
may seem crude, it allows the designer to give the
end user the ability to calibrate his clock as his environment may require, even after the final product
is packaged in a non-user serviceable enclosure.
All the designer has to do is provide a simple utility
that accessed the Calibration byte.
The second approach is better suit ed to a manufacturing environment, and involves the use of
some test equipment. When the F requency Test
(FT) bit, the seventh-most significant bit in the
Control Register, is set to a '1', and the oscillator is
running at 32,768Hz, the FT/OUT pin of the device
will toggle at 512Hz. Any deviation from 512Hz indicates t he degre e and direc tion of o scillator frequency shift at the test temperature.
For example, a reading of 512.01024Hz woul d indicate a +20ppm oscillator frequency error, requir-
ing a –10(XX001010) to be loaded into the
Calibration Byte for correction. Note that setting or
changing the Calibration Byte does n ot affect the
Frequency test output frequency.
OUTPUT DRIVER PIN
When the FT bit is not set, the FT/OUT pin becomes an output driver that reflects the contents of
D7 of the control register. In other words, when D6
of location 7 is a zero and D7 of location 7 i s a zero
and then the FT/OUT pin will be driven low.
Note: The FT/OUT pin is open drain which requires an external pull-up resistor.
POWER-ON DEFAULTS
Upon initial application of power to the device, the
FT bit will be set to a '0' and the OUT bit will be set
to a '1'. All other Register bits will initially power-on
in a random state.
