This module is an I2C bus interface-compliant real-time clock which includes a 32.768 kHz DTCXO.
In addition to providing a calendar (year, month, date, day, hour, minute, second) function and a clock counter
function, this module provides an abundance of other functions including an alarm function, fixed-cycle timer
function, time update interrupt function, and 32.768 kHz output function.

SCL Input This is the serial clock input pin for I2C Bus communications.
This pin's signal is used for input and output of address, data, and ACK bits, synchronized
SDA I/O
with the serial clock used for I2C communications.
Since the SDA pin is an N-ch open drain pin during output, be sure to connect a suitable
pull-up resistance relative to the signal line capacity.
This is the C-MOS output pin with output control provided via the FOE pin.
FOUT Output
When FOE = "H" (high level), this pin outputs a 32.768 kHz signal.
When output is stopped, the FOUT pin = "Hi-Z"( high impedance ).
This is an input pin used to control the output mode of the FOUT pin.
FOE Input
When this pin's level is high, the FOUT pin is in output mode. When it is low, output via the
FOUT pin is stopped.
/ INT Output
This pins is used to output alarm signals, timer signals, time update signals, and other
signals. This pin is an open drain pin.

8. Use Methods
8.1. Overview of Functions
1) Clock functions
This function is used to set and read out month, day, hour, date, minute, second, and year (last two digits) data.
Any (two-digit) year that is a multiple of 4 is treated as a leap year and calculated automatically as such until the year
2099.
2) Fixed-cycle interrupt generation function
The fixed-cycle timer interrupt generation function generates an interrupt event periodically at any fixed cycle set
between 244.14 μs and 4095 minutes.
When an interrupt event is generated, the /INT pin goes to low level ("L") and "1" is set to the TF bit to report that an
event has occurred. (However, when a fixed-cycle timer interrupt event has been generated, low-level output from the
/INT pin occurs only when the value of the control register's TIE bit is "1". Up to 7.8 ms after the interrupt occurs, the
/INT status is automatically cleared (/INT status changes from low level to Hi-Z).
3) Time update interrupt function
The time update interrupt function generates interrupt events at one-second or one-minute intervals, according to the
timing of the internal clock.
When an interrupt event occurs, the UF bit value becomes "1" and the /INT pin goes to low level to indicate that an
event has occurred. (However, when a fixed-cycle timer interrupt event has been generated, low-level output from the
/INT pin occurs only when the value of the control register's UIE bit is "1". This /INT status is automatically cleared
(/INT status changes from low level to Hi-Z) 7.8 ms (a fixed value) after the interrupt occurs.
4) Alarm interrupt function
The alarm interrupt generation function generates interrupt events for alarm settings such as date, day, hour, and
minute settings.
When an interrupt event occurs, the AF bit value is set to "1" and the /INT pin goes to low level to indicate that an event
has occurred.
5) 32.768-kHz clock output
The 32.768-kHz clock (with precision equal to that of the built-in crystal oscillator) can be output via the FOUT pin.
The FOUT pin is a CMOS output pin which can be set for clock output when the FOE pin is at high level and for
low-level output when the FOE pin is at high impedance.
6) Interface with CPU
Data is read and written via the I2C bus interface using two signal lines: SCL (clock) and SDA (data).
Since neither SCL nor SDA includes a protective diode on the V
supply voltages can still be implemented by adding pull-up resistors to the circuit board.
The SCL's maximum clock frequency is 400 kHz (when V
DD side, a data interface between hosts with differing
DD ≥ 1.8 V), which supports the I
2
C bus's high-speed mode.

[Caution]
(1) The /INT pin is a shared interrupt output pin for three types of interrupts. It outputs the OR'ed result of these interrupt outputs.
When an interrupt has occurred (when the /INT pin is at low level), the UF, TF, read AF flags to determine which flag has a value of "1"
(this indicates which type of interrupt event has occurred).
(2) To keep the /INT pin from changing to low level, write "0" to the UIE, TIE, and AIE bits. To check whether an event has occurred without
outputting any interrupts via the /INT pin, use software to monitor the value of the UF, TF, and AF interrupt flags.
When an alarm interrupt event occurs, an interrupt signal is not generated
or is canceled (/INT status changes from low to Hi-Z).
When an alarm interrupt event occurs, an interrupt signal is generated (/INT
status changes from Hi-Z to low).
∗
When an alarm interrupt event has been generated low-level output from the /INT pin occurs
only when the value of the control register's AIE bit is "1". This setting is retained until the AF
bit value is cleared to zero. (No automatic cancellation)
4) RESET bit
It also resets the RTC module's internal counter value when the value is less than one second.
Writing a "1" to this bit stops the counter operation and resets the RTC module's internal counter value when the
value is less than one second.
If a STOP-condition or repeated START-condition(I

RESET
Data Description
[Normal operation mode]
This bit is used to cancel stop status for (i.e., restart) the clock and calendar
0
function. Also, when "1" is written to the RESET bit, it cancels stop status for
the fixed-cycle timer function.
∗
Since operation is not restarted when the STOP bit value is "1", to restart operation, a "0" must
be written to both the STOP bit and the RESET bit.
[Operation stop mode]
Stops updating of year, month, date, day, hour, minute, and second values
and partially stops the fixed-cycle timer function.
(Stop 1) Stops updating of year, month, date, day, hour, minute, and
Write/Read
second values
• This stops all clock and calendar update operations.
Once this occurs, no more time update interrupt events or alarm
1
interrupt events occur.
(Stop 2) Partially stops the fixed-cycle timer function
• If the fixed-cycle timer's source clock settings include an update
setting of 64 Hz, 1 Hz, or "Minute", the fixed-cycle timer function does
not operate.
∗ However, this function does operate when the fixed-cycle timer's source clock setting is
4096 Hz.
(Note) When this bit value is "1", the internal divider keeps the reset state, from 2048Hz to 1

8.3.1. Diagram of fixed-cycle timer interrupt function
The fixed-cycle timer interrupt generation function generates an interrupt event periodically at any fixed cycle set
between 244.14 μs and 4095 minutes.
When an interrupt event is generated, the /INT pin goes to low level and "1" is set to the TF bit to report that an
event has occurred. (However, when a fixed-cycle timer interrupt event has been generated low-level output from
the /INT pin occurs only when the value of the control register's TIE bit is "1". Up to 7.8 ms after the interrupt
occurs, the /INT status is automatically cleared (/INT status changes from low-level to Hi-Z).

(1) A time update interrupt event occurs when the internal clock's value matches either the second update time or
the minute update time. The USEL bit's specification determines whether it is the second update time or the
minute update time that must be matched.
(2) When a time update interrupt event occurs, the UF bit value becomes "1".
(3) When the UF bit value is "1" its value is retained until it is cleared to zero.
(4) When a time update interrupt occurs, /INT pin output is low if UIE = "1".
∗ If UIE ="0" when a timer update interrupt occurs, the /INT pin status remains Hi-Z.
(5) Each time an event occurs, /INT pin output is low only up to the tRTN time (which is fixed as 7.1825 ms for
time update interrupts) after which it is automatically cleared to Hi-Z.
∗ /INT pin output goes low again when the next interrupt event occurs.
(6) As long as /INT = low, the /INT pin status does not change, even if the UF bit value changes from "1" to "0".

cleared (/INT status changes from low to Hi-Z).

8.5. Alarm Interrupt Function

minute settings.
When an interrupt event occurs, the AF bit value is set to "1"

(1) The hour, minute, date or day when an alarm interrupt event is to occur is set in advance along with the WADA
bit, and when the setting matches the current time an interrupt event occurs.
(Note) Even if the current date/time is used as the setting, the alarm will not occur until the counter counts up
to the current date/time (i.e., an alarm will occur next time, not immediately).
(2) When a time update interrupt event occurs, the AF bit values becomes "1".
(3) When the AF bit = "1", its value is retained until it is cleared to zero.
(4) If AIE = "1" when an alarm interrupt occurs, the /INT pin output goes low.
∗ When an alarm interrupt event occurs, /INT pin output goes low, and this status is then held until it is cleared
via the AF bit or AIE bit.
(5) If the AIE value is changed from "1" to "0" while /INT is low, the /INT status immediately changes from low to
Hi-Z. After the alarm interrupt occurs and before the AF bit value is cleared to zero, the /INT status can be
controlled via the AIE bit.
(6) If the AF bit value is changed from "1" to "0" while /INT is low, the /INT status immediately changes from low to
Hi-Z.
(7) If the AIE bit value is "0" when an alarm interrupt occurs, the /INT pin status remains Hi-Z.

The hour, minute, date or day when an alarm interrupt event will occur is set using this register and the
WADA bit.
In the WEEK alarm /Day alarm register (Reg - A), the setting selected via the WADA bit determines whether
WEEK alarm data or DAY alarm data will be set. If WEEK has been selected via the WADA bit, multiple days
can be set (such as Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday).
When the settings made in the alarm registers and the WADA bit match the current time, the AF bit value is
changed to "1". At that time, if the AIE bit value has already been set to "1", the /INT pin goes low.
∗1) The register that "1" was set to "AE" bit, doesn't compare alarm.
(Example) Write 80h (AE = "1") to the WEEK Alarm /DAY Alarm register (Reg - A):
Only the hour and minute settings are used as alarm comparison targets. The week and date settings
are not used as alarm comparison targets.
As a result, alarm occurs if only an hour and minute accords with alarm data.
∗2) If all three AE bit values are "1" the week/date settings are ignored and an alarm interrupt event will
occur once per minute.

8.6. Reading/Writing Data via the I2C Bus Interface
8.6.1. Overview of I
The I2C bus supports bi-directional communications via two signal lines: the SDA (data) line and SCL (clock) line. A
combination of these two signals is used to transmit and receive communication start/stop signals, data transfer
signals, acknowledge signals, and so on.
Both the SCL and SDA signals are held at high level whenever communications are not being performed.
The starting and stopping of communications is controlled at the rising edge or falling edge of SDA while SCL is at
high level.
During data transfers, data changes that occur on the SDA line are performed while the SCL line is at low level, and
on the receiving side the data is output while the SCL line is at high level.
The I2C bus device does not include a chip select pin such as is found in ordinary logic devices. Instead of using a
chip select pin, slave addresses are allocated to each device and the receiving device responds to communications
only when its slave address matches the slave address in the received data. In either case, the data is transferred
via the SCL line at a rate of one bit per clock pulse.
8.6.2. System configuration
All ports connected to the I2C bus must be either open drain or open collector ports in order to enable AND
connections to multiple devices.
SCL and SDA are both connected to the VDD line via a pull-up resistance. Consequently, SCL and SDA are both held
at high level when the bus is released (when communication is not being performed).

In the case of this RTC module, controllers such as a CPU are defined as master devices and the RTC module is
defined as a slave device. When a device is used for both transmitting and receiving data, it is defined as either a
transmitter or receiver depending on these conditions.

(3) Repeated START condition (RESTART condition)
• In some cases, the START condition occurs between a previous START condition and the next
STOP condition, in which case the second START condition is distinguished as a RESTART
condition. Since the required status is the same as for the START condition, the SDA level changes
from high to low while SCL is at high level.
2) Caution points
∗1) The master device always controls the START, RESTART, and STOP conditions for communications.
∗2) The master device does not impose any restrictions on the timing by which STOP conditions affect
transmissions, so communications can be forcibly stopped at any time while in progress. (However, this
is only when this RTC module is in receiver mode (data reception mode = SDA released).
∗3) When communicating with this RTC module, the series of operations from transmitting the START
condition to transmitting the STOP condition should occur
condition may be sent between a START condition and STOP condition, but even in such cases the
series of operations from transmitting the START condition to transmitting the STOP condition should
still occur within 0.95 seconds.)
If this series of operations requires 0.95 seconds or longer, the I
cleared and set to standby mode by this RTC module's bus timeout function. Note with caution that both
write and read operations are invalid for communications that occur during or after this auto clearing
operation. (When the read operation is invalid, all data that is read has a value of "1").
Restarting of communications begins with transfer of the START condition again
∗4) When communicating with this RTC module, wait at least 1.3 μs (see the tBUF rule) between
transferring a STOP condition (to stop communications) and transferring the next START condition (to
start the next round of communications).

8.6.4. Data transfers and acknowledge responses during I
1) Data transfers
Data transfers are performed in 8-bit (1 byte) units once the START condition has occurred. There is no limit
on the amount (bytes) of data that are transferred between the START condition and STOP condition.
However, the transfer time must be no longer than 0.95 seconds.)
(
The address auto increment function operates during both write and read operations.
After address Fh, incrementation goes to address 0h.
Updating of data on the transmitter (transmitting side)'s SDA line is performed while the SCL line is at low level.
The receiver (receiving side) receives data while the SCL line is at high level.

∗ Note with caution that if the SDA data is changed while the SCL line is at high level, it will be treated as a
START, RESTART, or STOP condition.
2) Data acknowledge response (ACK signal)
When transferring data, the receiver generates a confirmation response (ACK signal, low active) each time an
8-bit data segment is received. If there is no ACK signal from the receiver, it indicates that normal communication
has not been established. (This does not include instances where the master device intentionally does not
generate an ACK signal.)
Immediately after the falling edge of the clock pulse corresponding to the 8th bit of data on the SCL line, the
transmitter releases the SDA line and the receiver sets the SDA line to low (= acknowledge) level.

ACK signal
After transmitting the ACK signal, if the Master remains the receiver for transfer of the next byte, the SDA is
released at the falling edge of the clock corresponding to the 9th bit of data on the SCL line. Data transfer
resumes when the Master becomes the transmitter.
When the Master is the receiver, if the Master does not send an ACK signal in response to the last byte sent from
the slave, that indicates to the transmitter that data transfer has ended. At that point, the transmitter continues to
release the SDA and awaits a STOP condition from the Master.
8.6.5. Slave address
The I2C bus device does not include a chip select pin such as is found in ordinary logic devices. Instead of using a chip
select pin, slave addresses are allocated to each device.
All communications begin with transmitting the [START condition] + [slave address (+ R/W specification)]. The
receiving device responds to this communication only when the specified slave address it has received matches its
own slave address.
Slave addresses have a fixed length of 7
bits. This RTC's slave address is [0110010∗].
An R/W bit ("*" above) is added to each 7-bit slave address during 8-bit transfers.

10. Application notes
1) Notes on handling
This module uses a C-MOS IC to realize low power consumption. Carefully note the following cautions when handling.
(1) Static electricity
While this module has built-in circuitry designed to protect it against electrostatic discharge, the chip could still be damaged by
a large discharge of static electricity. Containers used for packing and transport should be constructed of conductive materials.
In addition, only soldering irons, measurement circuits, and other such devices which do not leak high voltage should be used
with this module, which should also be grounded when such devices are being used.
(2) Noise
If a signal with excessive external noise is applied to the power supply or input pins, the device may malfunction or "latch up."
In order to ensure stable operation, connect a filter capacitor (preferably ceramic) of greater that 0.1 μF as close as possible
to the power supply pins (between VDD and GNDs). Also, avoid placing any device that generates high level of electronic
noise near this module.
* Do not connect signal lines to the shaded area in the figure shown in Fig. 1 and, if possible, embed this area in a GND land.
(3) Voltage levels of input pins
When the input pins are at the mid-level, this will cause increased current consumption and a reduced noise margin, and can
impair the functioning of the device. Therefore, try as much as possible to apply the voltage level close to VDD or GND.
(4) Handling of unused pins
Since the input impedance of the input pins is extremely high, operating the device with these pins in the open circuit state can
lead to unstable voltage level and malfunctions due to noise. Therefore, pull-up or pull-down resistors should be provided for
all unused input pins.
2) Notes on packaging
(1) Soldering heat resistance.
If the temperature within the package exceeds +260 °C, the characteristics of the crystal oscillator will be degraded and it may
be damaged. The reflow conditions within our reflow profile is recommended. Therefore, always check the mounting
temperature and time before mounting this device. Also, check again if the mounting conditions are later changed.
* See Fig. 2 profile for our evaluation of Soldering heat resistance for reference.
(2) Mounting equipment
While this module can be used with general-purpose mounting equipment, the internal crystal oscillator may be damaged in
some circumstances, depending on the equipment and conditions. Therefore, be sure to check this. In addition, if the
mounting conditions are later changed, the same check should be performed again.
(3) Ultrasonic cleaning
Depending on the usage conditions, there is a possibility that the crystal oscillator will be damaged by resonance during
ultrasonic cleaning. Since the conditions under which ultrasonic cleaning is carried out (the type of cleaner, power level, time,
state of the inside of the cleaning vessel, etc.) vary widely, this device is not warranted against damage during ultrasonic
cleaning.
(4) Mounting orientation
This device can be damaged if it is mounted in the wrong orientation. Always confirm the orientation of the device before
mounting.
(5) Leakage between pins
Leakage between pins may occur if the power is turned on while the device has condensation or dirt on it. Make sure the
device is dry and clean before supplying power to it.
