Description
The ICM7170 real time clock is a microprocessor bus
compatible peripheral, fabricated using Intersil’s silicon gate
CMOS LSl process. An 8-bit bidirectional bus is used for the
data I/O circuitry. The clock is set or read by accessing the 8
internal separately addressable and programmable counters

/
seconds to years. The counters are controlled by

a pulse train divided down from a crystal oscillator circuit,
and the frequency of the crystal is selectable with the onchip command register. An extremely stable oscillator
frequency is achieved through the use of an on-chip
regulated power supply.
The device access time (t
for wait states or software overhead with most
microprocessors. Furthermore, an ALE (Address Latch
Enable) input is provided for interfacing to microprocessors
with a multiplexed address/data bus. With these two special
features, the ICM7170 can be easily interfaced to any
available microprocessor.
The ICM7170 generates two types of interrupts, periodic and
alarm. The periodic interrupt (100Hz, 10Hz, etc.) can be
programmed by the internal interrupt control register to
provide 6 different output signals. The alarm interrupt is set
by loading an on-chip 51-bit RAM that activates an interrupt
output through a comparator. The alarm interrupt occurs
when the real time counter and alarm RAM time are equal. A
status register is available to indicate the interrupt source.
An on-chip Power Down Detector eliminates the need for
external components to support the battery back-up
function. When a power down or power failure occurs,
internal logic switches the on-chip counters to battery backup operation. Read/write functions become disabled and
operation is limited to time-keeping and interrupt generation,
resulting in low power consumption.
Internal latches prevent clock roll-over during a read cycle.
Counter data is latched on the chip by reading the
100th-seconds counter and is held indefinitely until the
counter is read again, assuring a stable and reliable time
value.

Input Voltage (Any Terminal) (Note 2) . . . . VDD +0.3V to VSS -0.3V
CAUTION: Stresses above those listed in “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress only rating and operation
of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not implied.
NOTES:
1. TA = 25oC.
2. Due to the SCR structure inherent in the CMOS process, connecting any terminal at voltages greater than VDDor less than VSS may cause
destructive device latchup. F or this reason, it is recommended that no inputs from e xternal sources not operating on the same power supply be
applied to the device before its supply is established, and that in m ultiple supply systems , the supply to the ICM7170 be turned on first.
