DESCRIPTION
The X1205 device is a Real Time Clock with clock/
calendar, two polled alarms, oscillator compensation,
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, and 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.

X1205 – Preliminary Information
DESCRIPTION (continued)
The powerful 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 provide
a hardware interrupt (IRQ Pin). There is a repeat
mode for the alarms allowing a periodic interrupt.
The device offers a backup power input pin. This
V
pin allows the device to be backed up by battery
BACK
or SuperCap. The entire X1205 device is fully
operational from 2.7 to 5.5 volts and the clock/calendar
portion of the X1205 device remains fully operational
down to 1.8 volts (Standby Mode).

Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock all data into and out of
the device. The input buffer on this pin is always active
(not gated).
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and
out of the device. It has an open drain output and may
be wire ORed with other open drain or open collector
outputs. The input buffer is always active (not gated).
An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up
resistor. The output circuitry controls the fall time of the
output signal with the use of a slope controlled pulldown. The circuit is designed for 400kHz 2-wire inter-

Interrupt Output – IRQ
This is 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.

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 X1205 to
supply a timebase for the real time clock. The
recommended crystal is a Citizen CFS206-32.768KDZF.
Internal compensation circuitry is included to form a
complete oscillator circuit. Care should be taken in the
placement of the crystal and the layout of the circuit.
Plenty of ground plane around the device and short
traces to X1 and X2 are highly recommended. See
Application section for more recommendations.

REAL TIME CLOCK OPERATION
The Real Time Clock (RTC) uses an external
32.768kHz quartz crystal to maintain an accurate internal representation of 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 X1205 powers up after the loss of
both V
CC
and V
, the clock will not operate until at
BACK
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 a read takes a finite amount of time,
there is the possibility that the clock could change during
Characteristics subject to change without notice.

Page 3
X1205 – Preliminary Information
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 continues to run. Alarms occurring 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. To avoid changing the current time by an
uncompleted write operation, the current time value is
loaded into a separate buffer at the falling edge of the
clock on the ACK bit before the RTC data input bytes,
the clock continues to run. The new serial input data
replaces the values in the buffer. This new RTC value
is loaded back 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. A single byte may be written to the RTC
without affecting the other bytes.
Accuracy of the Real Time Clock
The accuracy of the Real Time Clock depends on the
frequency 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. Xicor’s RTC family provides onchip crystal compensation networks to adjust loadcapacitance to tune oscillator frequency from +116
ppm to –37 ppm when using a 12.5 pF load crystal.
For more detail information see the Application
section.
CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS (CCR)
The Control/Clock Registers are located in an area
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 the Table 1. Writing to and reading from
the undefined addresses are not recommended.
PRELIMINARY
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 two 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 (4 bytes; non-volatile)
4. Real Time Clock (8 bytes; volatile)
5. Status (1 byte; volatile)
Each register is read and written through buffers. The
non-volatile 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. Continued reads or writes,
once reaching the end of a section, will wrap around to
the start of the section. 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 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 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.
ALARM REGISTERS
There are two alarm registers whose contents mimic the
contents of the RTC register, but add enable bits and
exclude the 24 hour time selection bit. The enable bits
specify which registers to use in the comparison between
the Alarm and Real Time Registers. For example:

nation with other enable bits and a specific alarm
time, the user can establish an alarm that triggers at
the same time once a year.
*n = 0 for Alarm 0: N = 1 for Alarm 1
When there is a match, an alarm flag is set. The occurrence of an alarm can be determined by polling the
AL0 and AL1 bits or by enabling the IRQ output, using
it as hardware flag.
The alarm enable bits are located in the MSB of the
particular register. When all enable bits are set to ‘0’,
there are no alarms.

X1205 – Preliminary Information
REAL TIME CLOCK REGISTERS
Clock/Calendar Registers (SC, MN, HR, DT, MO, YR)
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.
Date of the Week Register (DW)
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
0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0-1-2-… 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’.
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 12hour 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. Years divisible by
100 are not leap years, unless they are also divisible
by 400. This means that the year 2000 is a leap year,
the year 2100 is not. The X1205 does not correct for
the leap year in the year 2100.
STATUS REGISTER (SR)
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 two power status and two alarm
bits. This register is separate from both the array and
the Clock/Control Registers (CCR).

AL1, AL0: Alarm bits—Volatile
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.
RWEL: Register Write Enable Latch—Volatile
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—Volatile
The WEL bit controls the access to the CCR and
memory array 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 or
any array address will be ignored (no acknowledge will
be issued after the Data Byte). 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—Volatile
This bit is set to a ‘1’ after a total power failure. This is
a read only bit that is set by hardware (X1205 internally) when the device powers up after having lost all
power to the device. The bit is set regardless of
whether V
one of the supplies does not result in setting the RTCF
bit. The first valid write to the RTC after a complete
power failure (writing one byte is sufficient) resets the
RTCF bit to ‘0’.
Unused Bits:
This device does not use bits 3 or 4 in the SR, but
must have a zero in these bit positions. The Data Byte
output during a SR read will contain zeros in these bit
locations.

INTERRUPT CONTROL REGISTER (INT)
Interrupt Control and Status Bits (IM, AL1E, AL0E)
There are two Interrupt Control bits, Alarm 1 Interrupt
Enable (AL1E) and Alarm 0 Interrupt Enable (AL0E) to
specifically enable or disable the alarm interrupt signal
output (IRQ). The interrupts are enabled when either the
AL1E and AL0E bits are set to “1”, respectively.
Two volatile bits (AL1 and AL0), associated with the two
alarms respectively, indicate if an alarm has happened.
These bits are set on an alarm condition regardless of
whether the IRQ interrupt is enabled. The AL1 and AL0
bits in the status register are reset by the falling edge of
the eighth clock of a read of the register containing the
bits.
Pulse Interrupt Mode
The pulsed interrupt mode allows for repetitive or
recurring alarm functionality. Hence an repetitive or
recurring alarm can be set for every n
minute, or n
the week. The pulsed interrupt mode can be considered a repetitive interrupt mode, with the repetition
rate set by the time setting fo the alarm.
The Pulse Interrupt Mode is enabled when the IM bit is
set.
IM Bit Interrupt / Alarm Frequency
0 Single Time Event Set By Alarm
1 Repetitive / Recurring Time Event Set By Alarm
The Alarm IRQ output will output a single pulse of
short duration (approximately 10-40ms) once the
alarm condition is met. If the interrupt mode bit (IM bit)
is set, then this pulse will be periodic.
ON-CHIP OSCILLATOR COMPENSATION
Digital Trimming Register (DTR) — DTR2, DTR1
and DTR0 (Non-Volatile)
The digital trimming Bits DTR2, DTR1 and DTR0

Analog Trimming Register (ATR) (Non-volatile)
Six analog trimming Bits from ATR5 to ATR0 are pro-
vided to adjust the on-chip loading capacitance range.
The on-chip load capacitance ranges from 3.25pF to
18.75pF. Each bit has a different weight for capacitance adjustment. In addition, using a Citizen CFS-206
crystal with different ATR bit combinations provides an
estimated ppm range from +116ppm to -37ppm to the
nominal frequency compensation. The combination of
digital and analog trimming can give up to +146ppm
adjustment.
The on-chip capacitance can be calculated as follows:
C
= [(ATR value, decimal) x 0.25pF] + 11.0pF
AT R
Note that the ATR values are in two’s complement,
with ATR(000000) = 11.0pF, so the entire range runs
from 3.25pF to 18.75pF in 0.25pF steps.
The values calculated above are typical, and total load
capacitance seen by the crystal will include approximately 2pF of package and board capacitance in addition to the ATR value.

X1205 – Preliminary Information
WRITING TO THE CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS
Changing any of the nonvolatile bits of the clock/control register requires the following steps:
– 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 preceeded by a start and ended with a stop).
– 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 preceeded by a start
and ended with a stop).
– Write one to 8 bytes to the Clock/Control Registers
with the desired clock, alarm, or control data. 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 CCR changes
nonvolatile register values so these initiate a nonvolatile write cycle and will take up to 10ms to complete. Writes to undefined areas have no effect. The
RWEL bit is reset by the completion of a nonvolatile
write cycle, 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 previ-
ous operations will not interrupt the register write
operation.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION
Interface Conventions
The device supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data
onto the bus as a transmitter, and the receiving device
as the receiver. The device controlling the transfer is
called the master and the device being controlled is
called the slave. The master always initiates data
transfers, and provides the clock for both transmit and
receive operations. Therefore, the devices in this family operate as slaves in all applications.
PRELIMINARY
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 3.
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 4.
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 4.
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 5.
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

In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of

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

DEVICE ADDRESSING
Following a start condition, the master must output a
Slave Address Byte. Slave bits ‘1101’ access the CCR.
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 bit is a one, then
a read operation is selected. A zero selects a write
operation. Refer to Figure 6.
REV 1.0.9 8/29/02
After loading the entire Slave Address Byte from the
SDA bus, the X1205 compares the device identifier
and device select bits with ‘1101111’. Upon a correct
compare, the device outputs an acknowledge on the
SDA line.

X1205 – Preliminary Information
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 CCR 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 6.

of each address byte, the X1205 responds with an

X1205 awaits the eight bits of data. After receiving the
8 data bits, the X1205 again responds with an
acknowledge. The master then terminates the transfer
by generating a stop condition. The X1205 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 7.

X1205 – Preliminary Information
Stop 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 X1205 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
X1205 initiates the internal nonvolatile write cycle.
Acknowledge polling can begin immediately. To do this,
the master issues a start condition followed by the
Slave Address Byte for a write or read operation. If the
X1205 is still busy with the nonvolatile write cycle then
no ACK will be returned. When the X1205 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 9.
Read Operations
There are three basic read operations: Current
Address Read, Random Read, and Sequential Read.

Current Address Read
Internally the X1205 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. Upon receipt of the Slave Address
Byte with the R/W bit set to one, the X1205 issues an
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 8 for the address,
acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.

It should be noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read
operation is not a “don’t care.” To terminate a read

X1205 – Preliminary Information
Random Read
Random read operations allow the master to access
any location in the X1205. Prior to issuing the Slave
Address 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 10 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 10. The X1205 then
goes into standby mode after the stop and all bus
Figure 10. Random Address Read Sequence
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.
The data output is sequential, with the data from
address n followed by the data from address n + 1.
Refer to Figure 11 for the acknowledge and data transfer sequence.

APPLICATION SECTION
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR AND TEMPERATURE
COMPENSATION
Xicor 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 timekeeping (<5ppm
drift).
The Xicor RTC family uses an oscillator circuit with onchip crystal compensation network, including adjustable load-capacitance. 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 6 summarizes these parameters.
Table 7 contains some crystal manufacturers and part
numbers that meet the requirements for the Xicor RTC
products.
The turnover temperature in Table 6 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)2. For an Epson MC-405
device, for example, the turnover temperature is typi-
cally 25 deg C, and a peak drift of >110ppm occurs at
the temperature extremes of –40 and +85 deg 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 Xicor
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. Incircuit 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 Xicor 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.

X1205 – Preliminary Information
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 PHZ output is set at
32.768kHz and 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 Xicor evaluation
board contains the circuitry necessary to implement
this control.
For more detailed operation see Xicor’s application
note AN154 on Xicor’s website at www.xicor.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 mis-clocking, seriously affecting the
accuracy of the RTC. Care needs to be taken in layout
of the RTC circuit to avoid noise pickup. Below in Figure 15 is a suggested layout for the X1205 SOIC
device.
Figure 15. Suggested Layout for Xicor RTC in SO-8
PRELIMINARY
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 Vcc pin of the chip is mandatory, with a solid connection to ground.
Assembly
Most electronic circuits do not have to deal with
assembly issues, but with the RTC devices assembly
includes insertion or soldering of a live battery into an
unpowered circuit. If a socket is soldered to the board,
and a battery is inserted in final assembly, then there
are no issues with operation of the RTC. If the battery
is soldered to the board directly, then the RTC device
Vback pin will see some transient upset from either soldering tools or intermittent battery connections which
can stop the circuit from oscillating. Once the battery is
soldered to the board, the only way to assure the circuit
will start up is to momentarily (very short period of
time!) short the Vback pin to ground and the circuit will
begin to oscillate.
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 useable 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 Xicor
RTC’s, the internal circuitry assures startup when
using the proper crystal and layout).

X1205 – Preliminary Information
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 PHZ output, look at the output of that
pin on an oscilloscope (after enabling it with the control
register, and using a pullup resistor for an open-drain
output). Alternatively, the X1226/1286/1205 devices
have an IRQ- output which can be 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 Xicor
RTC products. 3.0V or 3.6V Lithium batteries are
appropriate, and sizes are available that can power a
Xicor RTC device for up to 10 years. Another option is
to use a supercapacitor for applications where Vcc may
disappear intermittently for short periods of time.
Depending on the value of supercapacitor 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 Vcc to charge the supercapacitor, which is connected to the Vback pin. Do not
use the diode to charge a battery (especially lithium
batteries!).
Figure 16. Supercapactor charging circuit
2.7-5.5V
Since the battery switchover occurs at Vcc=Vback-
0.1V (see Figure 16), the battery voltage must always
be lower than the Vcc voltage during normal operation
or the battery will be drained.

X1205 – Preliminary Information
Referring to Figure 16, Vtrip applies to the “Internal
Vcc” node which powers the entire device. This means
that if Vcc is powered down and the battery voltage at
Vback is higher than the Vtrip voltage, then the entire
chip will be running from the battery. If Vback falls to
lower than Vtrip, then the chip shuts down and all outputs are disabled except for the oscillator and timekeeping circuitry. The fact that the chip can be powered
from Vback is not necessarily an issue since standby
current for the RTC devices is <2µA for this mode
(called “main timekeeping current” in the data sheet).
Only when the serial interface is active is there an
increase in supply current, and with Vcc powered
down, the serial interface will most likely be inactive.
One way to prevent operation in battery backup mode
above the Vtrip level is to add a diode drop (silicon
diode preferred) to the battery to insure it is below
Vtrip. This will also provide reverse leakage protection
which may be needed to get safety agency approval.
One mode that should always be avoided is the operation of the RTC device with Vback greater than both
Vcc and Vtrip (Condition 2d in Table 8). This will cause
the battery to drain quickly as serial bus communication and non-volatile writes will require higher supplier
current.
