NAME FUNCTION 
Backup Power Supply. This is the secondary power supply pin. In systems 
using the trickle charger, the rechargeable energy source is connected to this 
CC2
pin. 
Battery Input for Any Standard +3V Lithium Cell or Other Energy 
BAT
Source. If not used, V
placed in series between V 
result. UL recognized to ensure against reverse charging current when used 
 must be connected to ground. Diodes must not be 
BAT
 and the battery, or improper operation will 
BAT
in conjunction with a lithium battery. See “Conditions of Acceptability” at 
www.maxim-ic.com/TechSupport/QA/ntrl.htm
. 
Connections for Standard 32.768kHz Quartz Crystal. The internal 
oscillator is designed for operation with a crystal having a specified load 
capacitance of 6pF. For more information on crystal selection and crystal 
layout considerations, refer to Application Note 58, “Crystal Considerations 
with Dallas Real-Time Clocks.” The DS1306 can also be driven by an 
external 32.768kHz oscillator. In this configuration, the X1 pin is connected 
to the external oscillator signal and the X2 pin is floated. 
Active-Low Interrupt 0 Output. The INT0 pin is an active-low output of  
the DS1306 that can be used as an interrupt input to a processor. The INT0  
pin can be programmed to be asserted by Alarm 0. The INT0 pin remains 
INT0 
low as long as the status bit causing the interrupt is present and the 
corresponding interrupt enable bit is set. The INT0 pin operates when the 
DS1306 is powered by V
CC1
CC2
, or V
. The INT0 pin is an open-drain 
BAT
, V
output and requires an external pullup resistor. 
Interrupt 1 Output. The INT1 pin is an active-high output of the DS1306 
that can be used as an interrupt input to a processor. The INT1 pin can be 
programmed to be asserted by Alarm 1. When an alarm condition is present, 
the INT1 pin generates a 62.5ms active-high pulse. The INT1 pin operates 
only when the DS1306 is powered by V 
pin is internally pulled up to V
CC2
 or V
 or V
CC2
. When inactive, the INT1 pin is 
BAT
. When active, the INT1 
BAT
internally pulled low.
